Oh crap, I don't believe the machines have finally convinced you, of all people, that anyone could make the sounds you do!

Well I've only played with it a few times at music shops and the odd public jam here in Vienna, but I definitely consider it a no-go.  There is such a glut of machines like this, you know?  Its such a pity to have this 'integration' thing spoiling all the jam .. and I know I'm boring about this, but all the sophistication in Maschine just turns me right off.
