General

In order to truly appreciate this device heritage, we need to go way back to the eighties, when the Maschine was born. From that moment on, all kinds of gear with pads and sequencers started to appear on the market. Three decades later, Native Instruments have breathed new life into this iconic piece of equipment with the Maschine MK3 controller! It's the ultimate machine for groove producers and offers USB and MIDI in one production station as well as its very own built-in audio interface!

The Maschine MK3: What's New?

The first thing you'll notice about the MK3 is its pair of large colour displays, which is just one of the improvements compared to its predecessor. Fine-tuning your NKS-compatible plugins has never been easier! There's also a practical controller that combines a push encoder and a cursor. The MK3 is equipped with a touch strip for strumming or adding pitch bend effects. For your performance, the MK3 features a Note Repeat button that triggers drum rolls and arpeggiators. There are also transport buttons that are sure to make any in-the-box producer grin from ear to ear!

A Complete Studio

No matter how complex your groove gets, the Maschine MK3 maintains a clear overview. Create grooves with using the top-notch pads that have RGB LED lights. The audio interface is an excellent example of 21st century technology that boasts a signal quality of 96 kHz at 24 bits. You'll also receive Komplete SELECT, a trimmed-down version of the popular Komplete 11 package, which has 8GB of drum kits and loops.

Tips or comments about this product
