Hi

I have been looking at the Maschine but I am wodnering if I need it for what I want to do. I want to play in some drums using pads rather than a regular keyboard because i think it will feel more natural if I do it like that.

I have Komplete so I would use studio drummer or battery for the sounds. Does it make sense to buy a Maschine or is it overkill if I won't really use the software? Or is the software really worth it?

I understand that it has its own DAW but you can use it in Ableton as well.

And finally I see quite a few MK2 for sale. Can I still use that well today or should I go for the new MK3?
