Pretty solid piece of gear for the price. The bundled maschine software is also alright, but a lot less useful and a bit annoying without the screen of the maschine mk3 which makes it difficult to chop samples. I recommend you use Simpler/FL alternative. I sometimes use it to record drum loops but most of the time I just use the midi mode on the Mikro MK3 and the drum rack in Ableton.
The pads are meh - they have some registering issues at times. Sometimes they register double notes at very hard or too little pressure. Most of the time this isn't much of an issue, and when it does happen (not very often) you can just remove the extra note in the midi editor. I don't know if this is common, as this is my first instrument with drum pads.
Overall very happy with it, and feels far more organic than clicking notes in manually as it adds swing and feels natural to play like an instrument. The maschine software (and VST) has some amazing drum kits and some interesting mixing tools built in. It also allows you to drag&drop entire patterns as a .wav. :)
