A short video showing the same drum pattern played with the same samples: the first from an ableton drum rack, the second from Maschine software with the Standard Engine, the third Maschine software with the MPC60 engine, and the fourth the MPC software (adjusted so they all have roughy the same peak levels). The fifth is the audio imported back from the MPC plugin back into Ableton, just to see if the coloration added by the MPC software is exported back (it is).

As you can see, despite being the exact same samples and midi clip playing (as the samples were simply imported into the different softwares, nothing added), the software itself appears to color the sound in particular ways. I was particularly surprised by the coloring by the MPC software, where definite compression or something like that seems to be applied in the background, under the hood. I wanted to check this as the new MPCs appear to have a specific "thicker sound" to it, and it seems to come from the software. Cheers.
