Hi all,
I have worked in Music Maker for some time and like the way it works with Soundpools (loops).
If I move to Samplitude, does this software work in the same way with Soundpools?
I especially like the fact that I can change the chord progression, albeit in a limited way, in Music Maker. Is it the same with Samplitude?
Thank you
Kraznet covered Samp with Loops, although it's for ProX.. I would assume that X3 is the same

I've purchased both MM Premium and Samplitude, and created 30 or so tracks in both. So this is just my opinion.
All in all, I've completely abandoned MM for Samplitude, even though Samplitude feels like an older program and appears to not be in active development. One issue, is that it cannot use MM Instruments (they cannot be activated). Essentially, near as I can figure, MM is a stripped down version of Samplitude but they made some mistakes along the way, and broke quite a bit of functionality.
The fact I'm willing to give up on about 2/3 of my instruments by switching to Samplitude, kind of shows how much more usable I find the program. In its current state, Music Maker is not usable for Midi. I opened up 13 critical bugs over support, it took them over a month before they they acknowledge the issues, but aren't fixing them. The only thing they really expect people to use MM for is loops - anything more serious, and it breaks down fast.
So, my strong opinion - if you must use Magix for audio, just use Samplitude.
Looooool, Magix only updates MMM to promote products in their shop. User experience is not paramount here :/ :)
Hi,
I use both Music Maker and Samplitude Pro X3 suite. Pro X4 is now out and has new features that some of the holdouts have decided that they absolutely needed. So, development has not stopped at all.
You may want to join the dedicated Samplitude Pro/Sequoia site to see the conversations.

I use Music Maker more often as it is more user-friendly for Soundpool loops and in general. I use Samplitude for more complicated stuff, like recording takes and tempo changes.
Music Maker has a pitch adjustment feature at the top and you also see the pitch in the pitch bar at the top of the Arranger. Samplitude does not have this, at least I can't find it.
Do not get Samplitude Pro X4 basic, get the Suite (149USD if you look hard) - it's the same price and comes with all of the Independence instruments and most of the Vita instruments. Here is the list of additional download files once Pro X4 is purchased and installed. The missing Vita instruments are probably covered by the 70GB of Independence instruments:
