That's really simply because Stylus is designed to enhance and facilitate random sequencing programs where as Maschine is more so an instrument unto and of itself while being facilitated by core or visa versa.
With the combination of Stylus RMX and Live, the possibilities are endless with respect to external control.
STYLUS RMX VS PATCH
It can only play a single patch at a time. By itself it's not an external midi controllable multi timbrel instrument. With Maschine you only get a fraction of it's capabilities if you use it within Live as a plug in. The bottom line is that I need everything to function within Ableton Live itself with respect to remote midi control. 1) is midi notation, 2) is a floor controlled Roland V-Bass which in turn is sent stereo through a stereo receiving floor looping device, and 3) the signal from the P-Bass itself. I actually am sending three independent signals at all times. I also use an M-Audio Axiom 49 in conjunction with it. In a live scenario I use my bass as a midi controller as well as an instrument in and of itself.
Here's the hidden poop in my convoluted little performance world. It's a selfish and quirky statement on my behalf, but ultimately, it's the truth. IMO, bottom line: Maschine 4 DJ, RMX 4 studio & live performance.ĭoc would you mind going in depth a little about what you mean about rmx being good for live performance, I think most people think probably the other way around but I know that eric persing is as bad at marketing and making app skins as he is a genius at everthing else. Neither are limited to being "drum machines", although that's exactly what both are predominantly marketed as and used for. RMX is a unique soft instrument and design tool. RMX is really not even close to what the Maschine is. If you are DJing, I have to believe Maschine or the APC40 are the way to go, however if you are a live performance musician where real instruments are involved, Stylus RMX is MUCH better. I have used Stylus RMX extensively for several years and once you actually get into the program's real internal controls, it's insane. I think you can do pretty much anything Maschine can do with drum racks and a decent midi controller (APC40 or your choice) One of the guys that is involved in a mutual project with me uses Maschine. Jeff Brown wrote:Did anyone who owns Stylus RMX post an opinion here? I don't have RMX or Maschine, but my understanding was that they were really different - RMX's main appeal was that it could "intelligently" mangle your beats, whereas Maschine was a hands-on drum machine.
