I'm also looking for some in depth info on how it interacts with PT - bussing, midi, drag and drop etc from those in the know. C'mon DUC'ers, don't be shy....

Well..Maschine is great..and the 1.5 upgrade is excellent!
However PT8 is still the stumbling block
We need Avid to get this sorted first. Its a shame because Maschine (and other NI stuff) works amazingly with all the other programs (Ableton etc)!
I have been using it stand alone for writing and its very cpu efficient.
I dearly love PT but have lost confidence in it since version 8 despite all the great new features and look. It's just no good for all the non Avid virtual instruments..
I would like nothing more than to be able to use Maschine as advertised inside PT but it aint currently happening.. so im using it inside Kore to sequence and control Massive and FM8 etc..
Lets hope Avid are currently busy overhauling their very buggy software! Perhaps they should let the Air guys do it
