Color Pads and Accessories for the NI Maschine

Hey guys its Mike from MPCstuff.com . Just wanted to know if you all would be interested in accessories for your NI Maschines. We were thinking about doing color pads and different colored LED lights for them just like we do for the MPCs.

The only issue we have with the pads is the fact that they are translucent. Most people like black or red pads with the MPCs and I'm not sure how good smoke black or clear red would look.

What are your thoughts? What do you think would look good? Would they be something anyone would want? We have had a few customers ask about it and we have the capabilities to make them.

Feel free to hit me up on here or at our email at sales@mpcstuff.com

 

Thanks for asking. My biggest beef with the pads is that they are a bit hard. If you could pour a material that is a touch softer that would make it worth it. The other issue is it voiding the warranty if it is still in effect but that is unavoidable. I think black would not be an option but red should work. Blue, maroon and yellow also. Would the LED's require solder? If so then I don't think many would go for it. Also interested in knobs. Tempo Records has some but only one variety.

 

Yeah i stripped Mine down
Pad corks and lighter Pads Sounds good
Different Colours See thru Pads
USB 3.0 or 2.0 connetors
Rack of Wood to lay it on

Thanks mike I been a customer for years mane

 

hey mike can you offer screens that are inverted? like light type on dark background?

 

Looking forward to seeing different color pad lighting.

 

purple pads and inverted screens

 

love maschines pads,have had damn near every mpc,with upgraded pads from you guys,and still prefer the touch of maschines pads over the mpc line. installing them to maintain the factory feel would be important to me..

i would def check them out if you guys do them though. i would think a small circle which was translucent that shined thru the pad would be cool.. to let the user know which pad was in use would kill.. i think the biggest turn off now is,how corny the orange pads look with maschine.. a smaller light would look better imo..

question at mpcstuff.. are you planning this after the release of maschine 2.0, perhaps a new build with new pads is on their way. just curious to hear your thought about that.

 

maschine 2.0 is only a rumor

 

take it back
to all the button being transculsent
and better skins
holo gram type or metelize the case or make it lower to the pads
lighter weight pads
dont for get to call jjos for some secrets

 

I love the pads on Maschine. I'd concentrate on the knobs though. The knobs on Maschine are great but they wear out. The rubbering film they have just started to peel on mine, which I find annoying. I also like the LEDs the way they are. Orange is now my favorite color, and nothing looks cooler than Maschine in the dark. Though yellow LED's would be cool, possibly red. Hmm, maybe purple. Dammit man now you have me thinking about changing the LEDs on my Maschine.

Green, definitely green.

 

I would like fat pads for maschine for sure! That mpc rubber goodness on the maschine would be super cool! Im afraid i dont like he stock pads on maschine that much... :-|

 

I like the MPC pads better but I love the way the maschine lights up. Honestly I would like the blue and white lights on mine I think that would be dope. My 6th pad is dying unfortunately so I would be down for an upgrade.

they have bad ass metal maschine knobs with grip

 

I would definitely be in for this. Would love to have different LEDs and possibly other pads or knobs. Been a customer in the past and would gladly buy again. I almost emailed to ask about it but didn't know how you'd react since it's mpcstuff.com.

Not sure if you have one already but if you need one to work out specs on anything or figure out parts I will send you mine. I think if I remember right from my last order you're only about an hour and a half away from me.

 

Im just curious how LEDs could be changed... do we have to send the unit in?

 

The color leds corresepond to colors in software...
Mey be in pattern mode we can have blue pads instead orange ?

And "push and turn" knobs? this is possible like mackie control,traktor x1 or bcr/bcf?

strech or cut some effects could be very useful.

Off=min value On=max value

 

I'd LOVE to have some slightly darker pads

 

Fourth four dollars wat a
Rip off
Twenty sound fair and square

 

I'd like to match led colors with sounds TAgs personnally
Like kick = red, snare = orange, cymbals are yellow, hats are green, toms are purple .... lol
led color on a "per pad" basis ;-)

But I think it requires different types of led, voltage, and may be a diffrent chip...
And At this point, why not 2 or more led per pads to mix colors...
Then I can use maschine to do lightning too

just a crazy idea , not expecting this soon out of the gamer area (I love my logitech G13....) and i Know it is difficult to do (some brands i know have a "whistle" from capacitors that is due to different intensity of the leds... and to wrong engineering ).

I am quite happy with maschine as it is right now personnally....

 

Alright guys we have finally finished some of our NI Maschine line.

We have Pad Corx now available, THICK Pads will be available in the next couple weeks, wood panels and skins are available now, the LEDs, and knobs also will be coming soon...

Here is the video for the corx..
