This should come as some relief to existing owners who might be feeling slightly miffed. However, apart from the coloured pads, the two are functionally almost identical. In comparison, even the stylish earlier model looks a bit cautious.
The Maschine MkII hardware is undeniably a thing of beauty. If you were ever tempted by Maschine in the past, the theory is that you'll now be massively tempted. As a further sweetener, Massive - Native Instruments' bass and lead synth - joins the package. Sadly, there's no way to physically transform the older controllers into multi-hued marvels, but existing users can at least enjoy the new effects and other enhancements this update brings.
Colour now shines at the heart of the Maschine's universe and, thanks to upgrades in the host software, it can be applied as extravagantly or as sparsely as your taste dictates. Hot on the heels of last year's trimmed-down Maschine Mikro are two eye-catching new hardware controllers for Native Instruments' Maschine.
MASCHINE MK3 is compatible with all major DAWs (including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and FL Studio) as a VST or Audio Units plug-in with full multicore support.Maschine's MkII hardware gets a Technicolour make-over, while its software increments to v1.8. MASCHINE MK3 is ready for seamless control of the latest version of MASCHINE 2 software, including everything you need to create and perform songs-with an 8GB library of high-quality sounds, drum kits, multi-sampled instruments, patterns, projects and sliced loops right out of the box, plus Drum Synths: 5 fully tweakable, automatable drum plug-ins built exclusively for MASCHINE. The button and pad layouts have also received a refresh, with a 4-directional push encoder for browsing, navigating and adjusting levels, and a special smart strip for strumming notes, pitch-bending sounds, performing with FX and more. The other most notable change is the addition of two high-resolution, full-color displays for precision sample slicing, sound tweaking, note editing, mixing, browsing and more. New in the MK3 version is a built-in audio interface, with pro-grade 24-bit/96kHz audio resolution, two 1/4" TRS line outputs, two 1/4" TRS line inputs, MIDI In/Out, stereo headphone outputs and more. The third-generation MASCHINE controller improves on Native Instruments' most popular groove production system with some major enhancements.
