Mmmmm
If it was gonna be standalone,I’d expect NI to have it scrawled all over the announcements,

A man can dream eh
Very tempting, but I gotta keep my 2008 Octa Mac Pro on Mavericks and this requires 10.11 - 10.12
Great price, though.
Wonderful to see all these companies putting energy into workflow considerations. Improving already great products (Push, Maschine, OT)
If they went standalone, they’d have a hard time spamming your inbox trying to sell you the 300 new sound packs they release per week.

That’s the rumor. Maybe they might drop it in November during Ableton loop. I think Komplete 12 will be announced then too.

These look great and as I have Komplete Ultimate is very tempting, but will wait for Ableton to release Push 3 or hopefully a Push keyboard controller.

That would be sweet, where did you hear this?
GEarslutz somewhere.
OFF topic but I used to have a Doraemon keychain that would respond when you whistle to it. It would say “im here” In Japanese and it was adorable

This new MK3 looks awesome and has me considering moving into maschine world again. I wonder if I really need that shiny new MK3 though, maybe I could score a good deal on a MK2 or Studio… would I really be missing out on that much?

Don’t quote me on it but pretty sure they will run the same software.
It seems mainly cosmetic enhancements, the new color screens look awesome, and now has a built in audio interface
What’s a reasonable price (US $) for a used maschine studio these days?
I wish they would go ahead and make a standalone Maschine

Much cheaper as of today 
Hey I bought the white studio from you over a year ago. Thanks that Maschine rocks. I see you’re joining team Maschine again 
It’ll be next year minimum before K12 appears I reckon. K11 is only just a year old and NI have a habit of spacing their releases.
I think some folks are confusing “standalone mode” to a standalone device here though! I don’t think anyone should be expecting NI to release a standalone Maschine any time soon (if ever). But, getting audio tracks into the MAschine software is still a very big deal for me. While Ableton can do a hell of a lot more than Maschine in many regards, I typically dont use the features so any big step in an Ableton direction that Maschine takes makes it a far improved and feature rich experience for me.
Going to be an interesting couple of months with Loop coming. Im going to sit back and see what comes out of that before taking the plunge (or not) on these new controllers.
To me comparing the price of the KOMPLETE KONTROL i would prefer a maschine MK3 + Roli Seaboard Rise… Definitely something armed for the futur regarding feeling when playing… and modulations capabilities… No need for a tagged library if you design your sounds 
I said it before - the NI Machine beta software can have multiple midi scenes, which you can X-fade, this works for VST and for external midi devices. You can also set the time interval which is used to x-fade the midi CC vales. Its what octatrack should do. I still hope electron will do a proper Octatrack upgrade soon.
At least NI supports their devices for a long time.
