via monofonicos: Native Instruments will be introducing Maschine – a next generation groove production studio that combines hardware and software – at the 2009 NAMM Show.
Looks like they are trying to take over MPC territory.
Details to come!

Rain Recording has introduced the Element Pro, the first in a series of Quad Core-based Element digital audio workstations. Element Pro is designed and tested to ensure optimum performance of all components, providing maximum audio throughput in the most demanding digital audio applications.
The “Professional Quad” series comes in two models the PQ1 and PQ2. Both systems are based upon Intel’s Core 2 Quad technology taking advantage of four physical processing cores with a combined level 2 cache of 8MB to give unparalleled real-time performance in recording, mixing and effects processing. The PQ1 is available with Windows Vista x32, x64 or Windows XP Professional. The PQ2 is Vista x64 only.
So this looks like it could be the ultimate machine for Sonar fans. Read more…
