One of the most unique features of the Maschine MKIII is the integrated, professional-grade 96kHz/24-bit audio interface. There is also a four-directional push encoder for browsing through settings, navigating sounds, adjusting levels and balance. This is ideal for pitch bending, strumming notes, performing with FX and more. The smart strip allows you to run your finger across the strip, reacting accordingly. A smart strip is also included for added expression when playing sounds and instruments. As well as large pads, the Maschine MK3 also boasts 8 touch-sensitive knobs that allow you to control your parameters and settings with extreme precision. The pads can be used for a wide range of applications from triggering samples on the fly during live performances to providing a real-time, natural sounding way to input drums in music production software. The 16 RGB illuminated, touch-sensitive pads are ideal for finger-drumming and playing virtual instruments. The intuitive and sleek design now features dual high-resolution RGB colour displays, allowing you to monitor and see information on all your major settings and parameters including preset names, tempo information, sample info and more. The integrated hardware/software system is comprised of a sampler, arrange mixer, built-in FX and more. The Maschine MK3 retains all the major features that made the MK2 one of the most sought-after production units on the market.

The Maschine MK3 is the latest edition of the renowned Maschine series form Native Instruments, featuring an upgraded design and a range of new features.

Presumably it’s the Maschine software but how does it look on those screens? And what do you do about software instruments which are running on your computer when you want to go into standalone mode? What it doesn’t talk about is what sort of DAW software is running on the Maschine+. It has 8GB of factory library installed and comes with a software bundle which presumably you have to run on a computer. They say it comes with 32 GB of internal storage and an SD card slot with a 64GB card included. Maschine was already a self-contained music production device it just needed a computer to run the software and handle the audio so it already has all it needs in terms of control.

I’m really liking the sort of gun-metal upgrade to the look but otherwise the layout is pretty much identical to the current Maschine controller. There’s also a two-port USB hub presumably for connecting other MIDI controllers to it.

Along the back they added a microphone input, stereo line input, pedal input, MIDI In/Out and then line level and phones outputs. Assuming the information posted on the online shop is correct then they’ve crammed a Quad-Core computer inside the Mashine+ shell. The name tells us it’s their Maschine controller with extras and they are not kidding.

Is Native Instruments about to release a standalone groove box? A leak from Vintage King reveals what appears to be a self-contained version of Maschine that they are calling Maschine+.
