Kinda. The extra software is not included with MPC software. It also has a built in audio interface. With that said, the extra software is good but not great. You are paying for the integration. Imo this is good for people who: 1) have few vsts 2) lack a controller keyboard 3) really love mpc sequencer and workflow 4) really prefer hardware but want some benefits of computer based production 5) don't already own and MPC One or Live This is probably not so good for people who have some or all of the following: 1) Own a recent MPC 2) Own a solid keyboard controller 3) have a solid collection of virtual instruments 4) Have no need of a hardware sampler I think it's best to think of this as a workstation along the lines of a Fantom or Motiff with lesser synth abilities but with arguably better sequencer,accompanying DAW and superior sampling capabilities. Better yet, think of it as a modern ASR10 without the same filters and more plasticky.

This is actually very good and better than a lot of costlier alternatives

This is as close as one will get to fabfilter eq this cheaply unless you use reaper

It is an awesome synth to have if you are making modern trap, RnB or pop, especially at that price.

I have tried a couple syntronik synths and they sound great to me. I think i would have been happy either way. The fact that i have an arturia controller did make arturia choice easier

I mostly use this feature when actually using maschine, so I have not tried head to head. Will conpare

I do like that arturia uses nks. The preview is such a timesaver with so many presets

Thanks for the awesome opinion. I ended up going with Arturia. A large part of my decision was disc space. The syntronik approximation of v collection was massive. The group buy is tempting, but it may be overkill at this point

For when you want something that moment instead of waiting for the time you can save $5

40 is highly underrated. I think this should have been released maybe 5 years ago when he was at peak and before there were 500 less Drake sample/preset packs. There have been countless reveals of exact presets used on Drake hits. I'm sure these are quality. Just wish timing was better

Peter has to be the most patient software rep on the internet. We all love sales but they have been slamming this man every time they don't get something practically free. I will be passing up modo 2 for now because i honestly am still learning modo one and feel like i am so overloaded with vsts that i will never master them all. Modo 2 is tempting because it does offer things I wished 1 had. The upgrade price is not outrageous. I have paid ik upgrade prices full before and did not feel ripped off. In any case, Peter is not the guy setting the prices. As a former business owner, it is never wise to cater to customers who ONLY buy things at super super deep discounts. This thread proves those types will only expect that perpetually. Each company needs to clone Bapu.

Free is the right price for this( at least when compared with $50). This effect is easily done with any DAW's stock plugs. The humorous interface gives it style points tho.

He can be slow to answer but eventually responds.

Rational me: "you have too many synths and not enough HD space. " Rationalization me: " every tine you use one of your IK products it ends up being a good fit. Rational me: " This covers a lot of the same ground as the v collection stuff you still have not completely explored" Rationalization me: " plenty NOT covered as well" Rational me: "do you really need to spend more?" Rationalization me: " you might spend more on tacos in a month!" Greedy me: " do not touch the taco budget!"

Sometimes I wonder if consumer entitlement is trying to catch up with corporate greed. We are seriously complaining that a company that regularly keeps products that are on par with products costing far more are not giving us enough coupons? I have yet to buy a PA product that was worth less than what I paid with or without voucher. No, I'm not a fan of subscription models but it's hard to complain about their prices, even if it is the Waves method of undercutting their own list price every month.

Thanks. I am sure I will love both but my son is starting to tease me about these acquisitions lol

I finally got AMEK200 and Maag EQ. why must i do this?

I can't point out anything wrong with this synth, but I have just never been able to see a reason to use it instead of the other 100 synths I forgot I picked up cheaply and don't use either.

I care. We are all subject to the ***** politicians none of us know.

I just use individual installers. Go to license management in your account and individual installers are there

Congrats. So much great potential even now

I just doublechecked. I uses an sq80 preset in analog lab. No sq80

All of them sound pretty good. Just not at that price point. All of them can be had for less than the price of one. Edit- i just saw the dramatic price drop over what was initially posted

I got sq80 when i upgraded. Hmm. I think I lucked out
