    Man i love those fat pads and the knobs and in different colors..oh the glory! Cant wait for those leds

    One suggestion though, how about fat pads for the top buttons over the lcds, I always wished those things weren't so tiny and a lot of people complain about them getting stuck under the casing


    I wish someone would build a rounded wooden hand rest at the bottom in addition to the wooden sides........hint lol I'd never leave the house touching my pretty maschine all day and night........

    A big part of Maschine's workflow is the LED under the pad so it's going to be interesting to see how many people ditch the LED for the classic MPC style solid gray.

    They are softer.



    As for the colors. I agree that the all grey may be hit or miss. Thats why we are only doing ONE non translucent pad color. Some people will like them others will hate them.

    I should have them done in the next week or two so we will have more pics. I expect them on the site early Dec.

    No logos since everyone had such an uproar about the MPC1000 thick pads having them.

    I agree we have no right to put an unnoticeable logo on something that we spent tons of time designing and throwing money at. :D , plus I am too busy right now to add the logo into the designs anyway I am in the process of ripping all the Nike swooshes off my shoes. :)

    my pads are getting pretty unresponsive always giving me low velocities. how about replacement sensors? or will the corx take care of that?

    The corks will do the job and set your sensitivity bar all way low.

    Corx will help. I have another thing that will help also shoot me an email.

    Got the colors going today...just need smoke black and I think we are set. I also have to test these translucent colors to make sure they arent too dark for the light to shine through. The grey is not meant to be translucent

    Check it out here...

    Yeah the red ones do light perfectly, the grey is not made to lite up, its for MPC style look. I am doing a lighter blue now because the dark blue didnt light up well.

    Here they are, it was hard to take a picture of it though.

    Here is lit Red...
