I like it, but it came out in the wrong economy, but i would buy one. It would be nice if you could get a m box card with it instead.

These joints are crazy man, open labs makes crazy products. maschine can't even begin to compare, now if you already have a computer and are fine with it, then it's probably not for you.

But if you are like me, a hardware guy, then this gets you into the software world in a nice way. Sure, I could build a computer, or spec a laptop, but by the time I'm done piecing it together, it's about the same or more and prolly won't work like a tweaked machine build specifically for music.

yeah, I know I'm a fanboy lol…I'll admit it, I want one.

“take the most expensive MACBook Pro” it isn´t necessary, take a good mother board, cpu, ram (600€) , a tft touchscreen (250€), a keystation m-audio 88 (lots of controls knobs and faders and ableton included) 500€, and buy a genuine xp software (150€) = 1500€

not so styllish, but how cares,

So let me get this straight, take the most expensive MACBook Pro, add all the control surfaces, add AL7@400 bucks, a multitouch touch screen an IPD, a wicked multicard reader for me to do video and run AL7 and you guys think that’s expensive? With 4GB of RAM? Try pricing the components – I did. I can’t see how they did it…

Alex – It’s got to be there because people are asking for it.

I’m with you, though – I’m not so sure about a $4,000 iPod accessory.

wtf is that ipod port doing on it! :S

Heavily overpriced. I would rather sit with NI Maschine – buy a new DAW – and still save money

What is the sampling capability of this thing? Can I install a different beatmaking ware or am I stuck with Ableton? And why is it so unbelievably expensive; does Richard D. James bring it to your front door?

If I had to get a beatbox to interface w/ software, I might try Maschine first, you’d have enough $ saved to buy another synth…
