I've been using a Maschine MK2 for some time and I really like the hands-on experience in the studio compared to other drum/beast VSTs which I used before (e.g. XLN XO) and I like using presets/patterns to use as a base for tweaks. However, almost all presets include song-elements like synths melodies and waves which I first need to bypass as I want to come up with my own stuff (and usually use 3rd party synths).
Ain't there a way to filter or disable all those elements that aren't just part of a basic beat (kick, snare, hh, clap)? Right now I sometimes ignore my Maschine because of this and then turn to "drums-only" VSTs.
