Native Instruments to Introduce Hardware Production Studio?

I don't know how legit this is, but monoficos.net and Synthtopia are both reporting that one of Native Instruments new products to be unveiled at NAMM is an MPC style drum machine/production studio called Maschine. I'll reserve judgment until I've seen what it can do, but my initial reaction is pretty much the same as I had to Kore: "meh".

looks like the image came from electronic musician's (e musician now) mag, same fonts and layout, guess we'll see when the february issue comes out.

I'm kind of "meh" too, and I like Kore 2.

I was interested till I saw the price tag. I guess they teamed up with the accountants of Access Virus on this one.

Hmm... I don't know, that's pretty cheap for that kind of product if you ask me. All but the lowest level Akai MPC cost quite a bit more than this one. Depends on what it can do, I suppose.

Akai is actual hardware though. This is meant to mingle with software in which its automatically tied to a notebook for live performance?

To me in usability terms wouldnt even replace an Alesis SR16. From what I gathered from the blurb thats the point of it?

Perhaps I'm not fully understanding the product, but it seems the cost cant be warranted if its always meant be combined with specific software outside of midi controlling which there are much cheaper/practical devices meant for that.
