About this deal

Clearly, the biggest single change made to Maschine for Mk3 is the addition of those big, colourful dual displays: a massive upgrade from Mk2’s narrow, monochrome dot matrix screens. Previously the sole preserve - and a major selling point - of Maschine Studio, these are essentially the same 480x272-pixel LED jobs, but with lower power requirements and better viewing angles that go some way to alleviating the aforementioned perpendicular usage issues.

Buttons 1–8: The eight Buttons above the displays dynamically adapt their function to the selected mode, allowing direct access to the most important functions. The action they perform is shown below each Button in the displays. The two screens are beautiful to use, are the 8 rotary encoders below them, that control different parameters depending on what mode you’re in and what you’ve got up on the screens. AUTO button : In Maschine, modulation of almost any parameter on the Sound and Group level is achieved with one-touch simplicity. Press and hold the AUTO button while turning any of the eight Knobs (or any combination) under the displays to record modulation for the corresponding parameter(s). Press SHIFT + AUTO to pin/unpin the Auto mode. When Auto mode is pinned, you can release the AUTO button (the button stays lit) and record modulation with both hands; this is very handy to record modulation for two (or more) parameters simultaneously! For more information, refer to Controller Modes and Mode Pinning. The Maschine MK3 is a full-scale music production box, designed to connect with your computer via USB, and run the Native Instruments Maschine software. Overall, though, the new layout is a triumph, simplifying mode switching, editor access and more. The only things missing in comparison to the expansive Maschine Studio are the dedicated Edit section (relieving the pads of their Shift functions) and the jogwheel - although the latter might actually be preferable to Mk3’s most controversial new feature: the four-directional push encoder.On October 1, 2011, Native Instruments released Maschine Mikro, a budget oriented version of the hardware controller, but with the updated Maschine 1.7 software. That same year iMaschine was also released, an iOS app which brought key features of both the software and hardware components to the mobile platform. [6] Go for Maschine MK3 if you’re looking for a beautifully classy, tactile device for music production, beat creation, sampling, and sequencing. Grab it if you’re used to working with a laptop as part of your music production workflow. In case of graphics issues, please install the latest drivers for your GPU. This can be necessary even if Windows reports them as up to date.

Library of sounds, drum kits, sample-based instruments, patterns, projects and sliced loops, plus five fully editable and automatable drum synths designed exclusively for Maschine Content selector: Use the Content selector to switch between Factory Content (button off) and User Content (button on).The Pad Input Mode buttons ( 10) to ( 14) allow you to choose from various behaviors for the pads ( 9) when it comes to triggering your Sounds. The four buttons directly above the pads ( PAD MODE ( 10), KEYBOARD ( 11), CHORDS ( 12), and STEP ( 13)) control the four main pad input modes , while the FIXED VEL button ( 14) controls additional options for the modes.
