But I don’t know if after all the Elektron years, I will be able to enjoy the “stiffness” of the MPC workflow. Still, it’s focused with a wealth of options.

The MPC speaks to me in a different way: it’s a classic lineage of machines in the hiphop history… yet, the new ones don’t really give me the same feeling the old ones had. And from what I gather, you can still use the Plus as a controller and access Komplete and the full feats on the computer when needed, right? Some days, I only have 30 minutes for music, I’d rather not spend it on computer related stuff. is not something that brings instant joy in my heart. The Plus is something I consider because after all these OTB years, turning on my computer, waiting for it to boot etc. What I like about Maschine is the ability to mix’n’match patterns into scenes, the locks (reminds me of OT scenes), the sounds… and the hardware / software look slick, which might sound stupid, but is in fact really important to me as a designer. And I don’t have a laptop, but a huge ass (but uber powerful) desktop (I’m a motion designer / video designer, so yeah, powerful computer needed). I forgot to mention: right now, I have no DAW and no VST at all, I used to do it all OTB. MPC, because besides Standalone, there is nothing on the Maschine+ that is not in the MK3 (besides minor stuff like a different color and Aluminium casing) So if you are okay with taking a laptop with your, I would say, it’s Maschine MK3 vs. If you are okay with working attached to your computer, the Maschine let’s you use every VST plugin in your tracks. If you don’t need/want to work stand alone and am okay with having a computer with you, you don’t need+. There is just one thing, where I could name a preference: if you want to work with a lot of synths, you have unlimited more possibilities with NI, because in my opinion, the synths on the Akai maschines plain suck, but this is again, personal preference. Do you care about the content that come with the Devices, and if so, do you like the ones from NI or from Akai better.

And this is something that is 100% Taste! Do you like the Maschine Workflow or the MPC Workflow better. That by side: it all comes down to workflow and personal preferences. Those patches that rise the Maschine+ CPU that high in the videos come with 6 or more FX as insert per Sound, something you need to find workarounds for on the MPCs. First off, the CPU is not really less powerful then the Akai one, it is just that the Synths and Patches on the Maschine are neither optimized for standalone, nor are the tracks limited like on the Akai Maschines.
