Well looks like an update just came out where you can use the kore  
controler as a midi controler, might actually be more useful to me  
that way :p I am though excited about maschine switching to a midi  
controller with lots of nice templates at the touch of a button. There  
is a really nice set of 5 videos on youtube, like maschine demo @ GC  
or something, the best "demo" for it I have seen. Makes me really  
excited.
