    Well Maschine can do LOADS of things.
    You can use it as an F1 on steroids, you can use it to sequence stuff, you can use it as a synthesizer keyboard,….

    I would recommend you watch some tutorial videos on NIs website and see what it can do, as it is far too long to write it all here.

    Sufficient to say, yes some DJs do use it live and it is possible to sync it to Traktor (or Serato) via MIDI clock signals if you need to.

    Maschine is superb, very much erring on the production side of things, particular the Studio version you mention. But no reason why you can’t use it to add to your DJ sets, only thing I would say is the Studio is significantly bigger than Maschine MkII and if you’re planning to use it at gigs, I’d say a Mikro might even be best. Personlly I’d go with Maschine MkII, best of both worlds.

    Maschine software integrates pretty well with Logic Pro X (which I also use), however I often find I’ll work in Maschine standlone and then bounce and head over to Logic to keep CPU work down.

    Thanks for the help! Some great advice. Is there any major differences between the micro, mk2 and studio? Except obviously the screens on the studio! I would probably choose between the mk2 and studio. I probably spend a little bit more time producing than djing, so i think the studio maschine would benefit me more as i like to be able to jam and record into logic, just like i do with the tempest and my other synths. And to be able to have the screens and everything at hand, means i dont have to stare at a screen all day aha :p cheers for the advice!!

    I use Maschine (MK I) directly via VST into Logic.
