So I did a search and saw nothing about this new Maschine thing from Native Instruments. Bottom line is that it looks badass.

I'm thinking about getting it but do you think it could be used as a midi controller for Reason 4?

If not, how might it be used with Reason if at all?

Still new to the whole midi thing trying decide on a first serious purchase for it but don't want to waste cash. Thanks for any insight.

BTW: I tried to add some links to this post about Maschine (the Native Instruments website and a youtube of someone fiddling with it live) but the site wouldn't let me.
