And in Step mode, program sounds precisely where you want them, and automate pitch, volume, LFO, or any other parameter step by step for incredibly intricate and musical results in record time.

MASCHINE’s ultra-fast, tag-based browser gives your creativity no time to slow down. Use MASCHINE’s two full-color display screens plus the 4-directional push encoder to quickly find any project, group, sound, instrument, effect or sample. Then simply load it and go.
SAMPLE, SLICE, PLAY – IN THE STUDIO OR ON THE GO
With a professional-grade, 96kHz / 24-bit built-in audio interface, MASCHINE makes sampling fluid and simple – grab audio, slice it, and shape it. The USB-powered hardware gives you total control, and the hi-res displays let you slice samples with laser precision. Experienced beatheads will love the vintage sampling modes.

Whether you’re a pro or just making your first beat, MASCHINE helps you spark new ideas without disrupting your flow. Automatically generate random new melodies and drum patterns with the Variation Engine. And discover exciting new transitions and builds with morphing between parameter snapshots using Lock.
DISCOVER UNIQUE WAYS TO PERFORM AND PLAY
The Smart Strip opens up unique new ways to perform and play. Use it like a pitchwheel to bend and modulate sounds. Add new tactile dimensions to Perform FX, like stutter, echo, and flanger. Or strum samples, sounds, and drums like a guitar to discover new sonic textures.

MASCHINE software comes stocked with everything you need to turn your ideas into complete tracks. Whether you’re sketching and arranging your track, or mixing it down and performing, MASCHINE keeps you moving from one step to the next – without breaking your creative stride.
MASCHINE’s Sampler lets you chop sounds like a surgeon. Choose the technique that fits you best with four different modes: Detect, Grid, Split, and Manual. Assign slices to the pads automatically and play them just like you would a drum groove or melody.
Ideas view makes it easy to gather your ideas or plan a performance. Record alternate bass lines. Create scenes for different drum fills, breakdowns, and variations. Mix them up and experiment until you find something you like.
Arrange view’s clip-based pattern sequencer means your ideas come together fast. Edit patterns, nudge notes, change velocity, record modulation, and more.
MASCHINE’s ultra-fast, tag-based browser makes it easy to sort instruments and sounds by their sonic qualities, giving your creativity no time to slow down.
MASCHINE’s powerful mixer lets you see and adjust group and sound channel levels with one knob – simply select the desired channels, then turn the knob under the displays to adjust.
Use your own VST or Audio Units plug-ins, or play with MASSIVE, MONARK, REAKTOR PRISM, or any of the other included sounds and FX.

THE PRESS ON MASCHINE
“Maschine MK3 is 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.”“Maschine MK3 is excellent. Native Instruments could simply have added some color screens and be done with it, but they’ve achieved something much more difficult: improving a classic without losing the essence of what made the original it so great.”„This is an excellent and versatile tool that can be used equally well in the studio, on the go or live and most importantly, is a fun and inspirational device for music creation. Highly recommended!“
