New Gear: Native Instruments Maschine Mikro

I know, I know… “you just bought the standard NI Maschine a week ago” you say? This one fell in my lap and when I tell you the deal I got you will not blame me for jumping on it. Here is the break down. I got this on ebay and at first I was skeptical about it due to the price and the stuff included. It was listed for $300 which by its self was not a great price seeing how Native Instruments just dropped them to $249 new. The thing that interested me was full licensed copies of NI Reaktor 5, Razor and Maschine Expansion – Transistor Punch. Reaktor 5 full alone costs $399 hence why I was skeptical but I contacted the seller and he verified with receipts that he in fact purchased all the software and hardware just over a month ago.  I’m going to give the Maschine Mikro a chance but I may just flip it on eBay for $200 and recoup some of my money. I was able to get all the licenses transferred to my NI account this weekend with out any issues and I am supper excited to finally have a fully working/legit copy of Reaktor.
