If you are a Maschine user, do NOT buy Kontrol Mk3! I wasted a bunch of time and engergy trying to "upgrade" my KK Mk1 to Mk3. Maschine and KK software working together are no longer being supported. It seems that Maschine is dying, going backwards and I would bet will have very little upgrades. Why would they not support these two products to work together? Not enough money in Maschine users to justify supporting it I assume. Kind of a slap in the face of Maschine\KK\Komplete(and for me Maschine Jam) users that have been supporting them for years.
