It's a very powerful MIDI controller and has the ability to control Live the same way that many popular controllers do. Maschine can also be used as a very cool controller for Ableton Live, and it ships with templates for Live. Navigate to Traktor's Preferences, then Controller Manager, and create a Generic MIDI Output and set the Out-Port to “Traktor Virtual Output”. You can choose to play any type of percussive or melodic sound with your tracks in Traktor (I recommend checking to make sure that any melodic content you play is in key with your tracks and try analyzing samples with Mixed In Key first.) Using Maschine and Traktor together allows you to play drum patterns that are perfectly in sync with Traktor's MIDI clock, and easily switch and vary your patterns using Maschine. The good news is, it's easier than you think to set this up and all you need is Maschine, Traktor and a single laptop. This method can help you to begin to bridge the gap between DJing and live performance, and if you're interested in pushing your musical boundaries, this setup may help you push past a creative plateau. This will allow you to play and mix tracks in Traktor and use Maschine to create percussive and/or melodic patterns, and improvise on top of your tracks. If you're interested in using Maschine more as live performance tool, rather than a controller, you might like to sync the two together. With the majority of DJs using other types of controllers, you'll be ahead of the game and have the crowd wondering how you're mixing and using FX so flawlessly. Using Maschine as a MIDI Controller may inspire some new mixes, and it's certainly an original (and fairly uncommon) way to control Traktor. Directions are easy to follow and it only took me minutes before I had the Maschine mapping installed. Once you've got Maschine installed and Traktor and NI's Controller Manager updated, installation is a snap thanks to the MIDI Monsters manual.
