Maschine MK3 and Komplete Standard 15 buying advice

Hi, I'm after some buying advice regarding the Maschine MK3. I want to take advantage of the holiday sale discounts and would like to get some feedback from more experienced users on the forum as to whether or not I should buy Komplete 15 Standard along with a Maschine MK3 or whether the included expansion packs will be enough for me. I'm totally new to music making and Maschine itself so I have a lot to learn. I'd predominantly want to make electronic music. I definitely will buy the Maschine MK3 but whilst there is 50% off, is it worth also buying Komplete 15 as well or should I wait until I have mastered the Maschine MK3 first? I'm concerned that I might be overwhelmed at initially but also, if after say 6 months will I "outgrow" what's included in the Maschine MK3 bundle and then regret not having taken advantage of the holiday sale discounts. Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

Buying the Komplete 15 Standard or higher tier is always the most economical way of getting a great collection of apps , libraries and expansions. But as PK the DJ says then if you are never going to use any of it then of course one should not buy in the first place. On the other hand then when the bundles are %50 off then not only is it a very great deal but you would also loose less if you were to ever going to sell the bundle 😉 😁 😀

It's a difficult one to answer, because it depends whether you're going to stick with it or not.

I'm tempted to say it's well worth the investment of buying Komplete, so grab it while you can - but if you find you don't get along with the Maschine (or making music at all) after a short while, you'll lose more.

I grabbed Komplete Collectors Edition shortly after buying Maschine+ as it was the cheapest way of getting expansions, but I've been dabbling in production since the 80s.

Maybe subscribe to 360 first?

just to close the loop on this, I bought the Maschine but didn’t go for the Komplete bundle. There’s plenty to keep me going as I start to learn how to use it.
