Tim Goldsworthy
(co-founder Mo' Wax, DFA, producer for Massive Attack, The Rapture, etc.)

FLYING LOTUS

"I think Maschine is a really great tool for producers who want to throw their MPCs in the garbage."
Flying Lotus (Warp Records, Los Angeles)
MySpace

CARL CRAIG

"What I like about Maschine is the plethora of sounds that are available in comparison to other drum machines or production centers. It's nice to have the sounds at your fingertips and flip through them while you already have a rhythm working."
Carl Craig (Detroit, USA)
MySpace

MALA

"I always program my own drums and Maschine speeds up the work flow allowing me to make that mind to sound translation fast! Whether in my studio or on road the possibilities seem endless."
Mala (Digital Mystikz, London)
Artist's MySpace

ALI SHAHEED MOHAMMED

"What do you get when you mix Maschine Hardware with Maschine Software? One ambidextrous bad ass machine! ... The hardware and software beats any drum machine-based work station out now in the market."
Ali Shaheed Mohammed (A Tribe Called Quest)
Artist Website

THE BLOODY BEETROOTS

"Maschine is an incredible tool, I mainly use it for writing songs when I'm on tour. It's efficient, fast, nimble and can easily simulate what I usually use in the studio."
Sir Bob Cornelius (The Bloody Beetroots)
Artist Website

DEADMAU5

"The latest addition to my live setup. I'm absolutely loving the thing! Quick access to any bank or individual sample, comprehensive sequence recording, great selection of interactive effects, all at the touch of a button for live sequencing goodness!"
Deadmau5 (Toronto, Canada)
Artist Website

BOOKA SHADE

"Maschine is the perfect instrument to add live sequencing to our DJ sets, where we run it in sync with Traktor. We're especially fans of the great effects and the hands-on hardware controller - exactly what we need!"
Booka Shade (Berlin, Germany)
MySpace

RICHIE HAWTIN

"Maschine is the first piece of equipment that seamlessly integrates into both my studio and performance setups. The timing integration with Traktor allows me to forget about complicated sync issues and focus on real-time creative percussion and groove programming and manipulation."
Richie Hawtin (Berlin, Germany)
MySpace

RODNEY JERKINS

"The Maschine work flow and sonic quality make it intuitive and interesting for both programmers and instrumentalist alike. Instead of having to conform your ideas to the software, it conforms to you."
Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins (producer for Michael Jackson, The Black Eyed Peas, ...)
Artist Website

FEADZ

"Maschine is never switched off in my studio. It opened a totally new window to program beats and interact with my musical feelings, I love it!"
FEADZ (Ed Banger)
MySpace

DJ GODFATHER

"Maschine is one of the most hottest pieces of studio gear to come out this decade period! I've used an MPC 3000 ever since the week it came out until I was introduced to Maschine. With almost all the functions of an MPC, an awesome array of sounds, full DAW compatibility, I've completely ignored half the gear in my studio now!"
DJ Godfather (Detroit)

DAGAMBA

"Maschine's design fits perfectly with our 'cellobeat' concept where the idea is to enhance live cello performance with pre-designed cello percussive samples. Intuitive controls make it easy to manipulate live cello sounds using VST plug-ins, such as Guitar Rig while playing live. The Maschine is eliable, precise and simply inspiring."
Richard Cherenkov / DaGamba (Riga, Latvia)
