About this deal

Maschine Mk3 represents the pinnacle of the series thus far - effectively Maschine Studio squeezed into a smaller case, with an audio interface and touchstrip rolled in, and a layout optimised for the software in its current form.

Displays: The displays are laid out to provide you with all essential information; there’s no need to glance at the computer screen.

Tech Specs

For Maschine Mk2 owners, it’s a fantastic if not essential upgrade. The fabulous displays still look like ‘the future’, the Smart Strip is well worth having, and the iterative refinements throughout feel like a substantial evolutionary progression. FOLLOW button : If you activate FOLLOW, time-related displays (like the Pattern Editor) will show the next part as the playhead goes beyond the current part so that you always see where the playhead is. Press SHIFT + FOLLOW to open Grid mode and adjust the grids to define how various Maschine objects can be moved or resized: Perform grid (for transitions between Sections), Arrange grid (for Pattern length and Section length), Step grid (for events), and Nudge grid (for events as well). If you require a standalone unit, then it’ll have to be the MPC One. If you’re happy working with a laptop plugged in at all times, and want access to the incredible range of instruments that Native Instruments offers, then it’s the Maschine MK3 for you. USB 2.0 Port, 9 GB free disk space for MASCHINE software and MASCHINE Library, 33 GB free disk space for KOMPLETE SELECT. RESTART button : Press the RESTART button at any time to restart from the beginning of the current loop range. Used together with SHIFT ( 8), the RESTART button lets you easily adjust the Loop in many ways: Press SHIFT + RESTART to enable/disable looping. Hold SHIFT + RESTART and turn the 4-D encoder to move the entire Loop along the Timeline, or “push & turn” the encoder to adjust only the endpoint of the Loop. While you hold SHIFT + RESTART, the displays provide another useful set of looping controls.

Maschine was also ported and simplified into an iOS app called iMaschine. Users use the touch screen to manipulate a virtual recreation of the 16 pads found on the Maschine controller. With the release of iMaschine 2, the app features many of the features found on the full production suite, such as step sequencing, arrangement, and the ability to record and manipulate samples. iMaschine 2 on the iPhone 6s line of phones also utilizes the phone's 3D touch capabilities.

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. The parameter controlled by the Strip depends on the Perform FX Mode - cutoff Frequency for the Filter, Position for Tremolo, etc. In Notes mode, the Strip is used to ‘strum’ sounds. With Maschine Mk3 in Pad Mode, running a finger left and right sweeps through the sounds of all held pads, or the whole Group if no pads are held.MIC IN GAIN: Adjusts the MIC IN input level ( 6). Use this knob to raise the microphone signal until it reaches a level high enough for your music application without clipping. If the microphone signal sounds distorted, slowly turn this knob down until the artifacts have disappeared. Every new version of Maschine fires up debate among the, er, finger-drumming community when it comes to the all-important pads, which NI naturally claim to have improved with each iteration. Mk3 will be no exception, but these are certainly our favourite Maschine pads yet.

TIP:The Routings section of Maschine 2 will display the default inputs and outputs available on your Audio Device. While you can change the routing, most users will be happy with the default. Press any Group button to select the Group you want to work in. Once a Group is selected its button lights up in the assigned color and its Sounds are available on the pads: whether one Sound on each pad (pads in Group mode) or different notes for one particular Sound (pads in Keyboard mode). The other colored Group buttons are dim-lit to indicate they can be selected. Press the dim white button to create a new Group in that slot. Buttons remain uncolored and unlit for the other empty Group slots. 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. Pad 1–16 : The sixteen velocity-sensitive pads can be used to play and select your Sounds. Their behavior can be configured by the Pad Input Mode buttons ( 10) to ( 14) described below. The pads also have many functions depending on the controller mode that is currently selected.
