Kinetic 2 and Maschine 1.7

Having perused Maschine lately, and only now understanding what it is, and what it does, years after the fact, as usual, it now appears the Maschine does pretty much all the things Kinetic did, with the addition of a dedicated hardware controller thrown in. I find this spectacular. What have I been doing all these years? Maschine should be here in a few days. The hell with the Matrix view now. Anyone concur?
