It's been said you can't compare the MASCHINE MK3 to the Ableton Push 2, but I disagree. It's true that in terms of software, Ableton Live is the more comprehensive DAW, and that the MASCHINE software is more of groovebox oriented approach.

But when you want to choose your beat making controller to accompany your DAW, the choice isn't that obvious.

Hopefully this detailed comparison will help.

Push and MASCHINE are on the Cremacaffe KOSMO stands and the audio interface is the Audiofuse by Arturia

Here are some additions based on feedback and comments below:

* Ableton will auto-configure plugins with fewer than 32 parameters automatically by default. You might be able to expand this by editing the options.txt file (thanks JiggyWig!). ErisianLib adds: he Mapping Parameters to Push 2 part can be fixed by editing the Options.txt file and adding the line: -_PluginAutoPopulateThreshold=-1 Sadly this doesn't group things as nicely as Maschine. The value of -1 will force 128 parameters so on your Push it'll look like you have loads of banks of controls, whereas in reality it's probably a lot smaller. The value "-1" tells it to do the maximum - you could specify a number but chances are one will be missed and it'll be the one you want to use!

* To turn the Push 2 touch strip into a mod wheel function use SELECT+STRIP (thanks Blaste Flame and Learning with Mark Warren!)

* There's a Max for Live app that gives Push 2 similar functions to the Lock button on MASCHINE, but without morphing - check out PP-Labs (thanks Blaste Flame!) - Also check out https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/kapture/ (thanks KAME!)

* For mixing the individual parts of a drum rack: You can mix each individual part on Push, too. You need to use a drum rack (if you use one instance of simpler with multiple slices you can easily, convert it to a drum rack by pressing "Convert") and now you need to double tap the drumrack in the mixer view to open it, so now you see each cell of the drum rack as an individual mixer track. (thanks again Blaste Flame)
