General

With the Maschine Mikro MK2, Native Instruments have introduced a MIDI groove box controller that easily surpasses its illustrious predecessor. Equipped with new Maschine 1.8 functionality, the MK2 edition of the Maschine Mikro offers even more options for producers and beat makers. The Maschine Mikro MK2 has a number of excellent new features, including the MASSIVE synthesizer, time stretching and on-the-fly pitch shifting options, and various new effects, such as Tube Saturator and Master Transient. To top it all off, the workflow of the controller is smoother than ever.

Seamless DAW integration

Offering a pleasant combination of flexibility and power, the Mikro MK2 allows you to control nearly any software. Combine the controller with your favourite DAW, and you'll discover an entirely new way of working, as it gives you total control over all parameters and controls. The Maschine Mikro MK2 can be used as a plug-in or as a stand-alone studio controller. Thanks to a number of new shortkeys, your computer mouse and keyboard become virtually redundant. Speed and efficiency - that's what this Native Instruments groove box controller is all about.

Optimal performance, both on stage and in the studio

The Maschine Mikro MK2 is perfect for mobile applications, both on stage and in the studio. The controller allows you to create killer beats with the greatest of ease, no matter where you are, and an included 6GB sound library lets you get down to business right away. The Maschine Mikro MK2 can serve as an ST, AU or RTAS plug-in. Regardless of the type of DAW you work with, the MK2 can be effortlessly incorporated into your setup. In short, the Maschine Mikro MK2 is an absolute must-have for producers and beat makers.
