Our first synth poem via Zeroc001 in the comments of The Crazy Ass Auction Contest.
BTW, if anyone knows how to help with this feel free to comment or email me.
"Native Instruments, dear friend!
I got gripe your way to send
I just paid almost half grand
For Maschine that's not so grand.
Windows 7 doesn't know it
USB port - it don't show it
I installed, installed again
Not a peep heard in the end.
Here I sit all broken hearted
Sweating, angry, eyes are parted
Up all night and up all day
Screaming, muttering I pray.
Should I wipe my drive again?
Reinstall OS in vain?
Cross my fingers, hope and pray
That Maschine will play some day?
Native Instruments, do tell -
Why I paid so much for hell?
Why I get no simple joy
Mashing pads on this cool toy?
Native Instruments, please HELP!
Crash, install, and crash again!
To be honest, in hind-sight,
That's not "crash" I had in mind.
I wish it was oh so simple
Hit a button, hear a cymball
Plug a cable, off I go
Making beats in orange glow.
But alas, I am despaired
My Maschine has not been spared
By the demons of OS
Microsoft to blame, I guess...
Sigh, my dear NI Maschine
Bought you stupidly, once seen
And untested, I might add...
Should have bought blue synth instead.
Anyway, my poem's done
So much vested, money gone.
Guitar Center, those bastards
Told me to just play some records
Spin CDs, or play guitar
Here's a used MIDI Fatar
Here's a Kaoss pad instead
Burry it, Maschine is dead.
I give up. I'm very sad
My Maschine could be my friend
Gary Numan, man eccentric
Once inquired, "Are friends electric?"
If the answer is a "yes"
This "friend" - unresponsive mess
Black and orange, oh so tempting
But our friendship is at ending.
I will place you on ebay
Let someone try (and complain)
Maybe Matrix, seen my ditty
Will send Audio/DJ in pitty.
Maybe I'll have better luck
With it causing cacophonic muck.
Hey Maschine - YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!
Still no answer. No "tick tock"."

Oh Native instruments kore
ReplyDeleteCould suck even more?
The hardware itself is great
But software limitations, I hate
I love the knobs, buttons and the scroller
Why can’t the damn thing work like a normal controller
--
NI says that you can now use kore as a generic midi controller with Kore 1 and 2 hardware. HOWEVER, the only explanation on how to do it is with the KORE 2 controller which has different button names on it. I have KORE 1.
AND I AM NOT PAYING $100 to upgrade the software to Kore 2 just to use it as a normal controller.
Why are you using Windows 7?
ReplyDelete1. It's not listed as a supported OS for Maschine
2. It's not even in final release yet
You have no one to blame but yourself, Microsoft and NI did their jobs, you chose to blaze your own trail :)
Good poem though ;)
ReplyDeletehere I sit all broken hearted came to crap but only farted...
ReplyDeleteseriously though, how's this read:

I've tried to clean up the meter and rhyme scheme hopefully it scans better now. all in all it didn't need much work at all and kind of reminds me of Poe in a very tongue in cheek kind of way
