    ... simply because of how they handle automation!

    first of all, i really like the ability to map ALL parameters of a VST/AU plugin onto my controller and organize it into different pages, name the controllers, and then control it using my hardware controller... this is possible with komplete kontrol AND maschine software!

    but, if i want to automate a VST inside my DAW with Komplete Kontrol Software:
    - Load a Plugin into Komplete Kontrol
    - Record automation
    - DONE! --> Really easy, intuitive and handy to manage inside the DAW. Just like automating a "directly loaded" plugin, but here we can turn "real hardware knobs" to record the automation --> Nice!

    if i want to automate a VST inside of my DAW with Maschine2 Software, i have to:
    - Load the Plugin into ONE Sound.
    - ENABLE AUTOMATION FOR EACH Parameter i want to control (-> unhandy)
    - Record automation

    problem now: besides of the fact that you have to enable each parameter before you can automate it, maschine2 takes way more cpu/ram than komplete control does! so if i load one maschine plugin for every vst i want to control, i waste a lot of cpu. to avoid this, i could load different VSTs into different Sound-Slots inside the Maschine Plugin (e.g. all in Group A), BUT then maschine will record ALL the automation of ALL VSTs into ONE DAW-Track, which gets really confusing and unhandy to manage in your DAW. in some DAWs you can't even do it because if you record automation for e.g. Plugin on Sound2, the recorded automation for plugin on sound1 will be overwritten. i tried it in ableton and it is really unhandy!

    i know, maschine is more designed to make a beat/groove, not really for VST/automation, but the layout of the controller (the knobs, display and pages!) is really similar to komplete control. so i would appreciate if you could just give the possibility to control the knobs inside the komplete kontrol software with my maschine controller. the other way around it is possible!

    i hope you get my point :) thanks!
