I might have been unlucky with this, as I see a lot of people really happy but... I had 3 of those and none of them was really usable. The first unit had an issue with one of the pads (one stopped working after a month). I sent it back to musix and I got a new one (they have been great and none of the problems was their fault). The second I got was badly calibrated: some pads were sending a really high midi value, some other, when hit with the same intensity, a lower midi value (we talk a difference of like 25-30), Sent it directly to native instruments, I got another one and also this one was badly calibrated (which can be done only by NI). I wouldn't suggest to anybody tbh.
Still wrapping my head around its usage but the device feels great, looks super cool, and is pretty inspiring. Getting into the Maschine 2 app is a bit annoying when using it with a DAW, but there are ways around that. Overall satisfied.
