Maschine is either a standalone program, and or a plugin.
The box is just a controller , and indeed has no audio hardware.
I use it life, playing and editing sequences (adding and deleting parts) when we play grooves or dance
On world music parts , it is my Caribbean percussion kit , or my Tabla , or Dangdut.
I start events from it : one setup gives 8 times 16 possibilities
I am actually a wind player : and i use the the knobs to control parameters of those sound i play selected by machine.
The software for all Maschine controllers is the same : one just gets more knobs, and screens
Hope this helps to decide
Oh yeah : I use a Focusrite Firewire da converter to get the sound out, and use Jack to connect Maschine to Mixbus
