Actually, the failure logo was a joke. Nothing against NI but damn they have been struggling with Maschine. So much that now I'm thinking they should just scrap the project and start back from square one. I'm trying my best to view it with an open mind but it's not looking very good. I'm also starting to think that they are using beta versions to pacify their customers while they continually work on correcting it's issues -vs- making it cutting edge. It really looks like they jumped the gun on it to me, the thing is fairly new but having issues that everybody else had 5 - 10 years ago.
You say "nice logic" but whats the logic in buying a piece of gear that you have to constantly wait on updates? At this point, I wouldn't even call "making it stable" or adding "time stretch" to it an update, that ish should of been done from the start. They should be working more on "new" innovations for it. The way they are going, someone else is gonna come out with something better without all the issues and they will still be playing catch up.
It really is a good thing that I didn't jump on the Maschine bandwagon because right now I would be one pissed off customer. Thats my logic =)
