Native Instruments NIMSCHMK3 Maschine MK3 Controller

The MASCHINE MK3 transforms music production into an intuitive, hands-on experience that bridges the gap between cutting-edge software and responsive hardware. This integrated system combines powerful drum synths, premium sounds, an integrated sampler, and studio-quality effects with two high-resolution colour screens that keep you focused on creating rather than staring at your computer. The ultra-smooth workflow features more dedicated function buttons and a new four-directional push encoder, whilst the innovative Smart Strip opens up fresh performance possibilities – bend sounds like a pitchwheel, experiment with perform FX, or strum samples like a guitar.

At the heart of the system lie 16 ultra-responsive pads that adapt to your playing style across multiple modes. Drum in beats naturally in Pad mode, switch to Keyboard mode for piano-style playing, or use Step mode for precise programming with detailed parameter automation. The professional-grade 96 kHz / 24-bit built-in audio interface ensures studio-quality recording and playback, all powered via USB for complete portability.

MASCHINE’s ultra-fast, tag-based browser system utilises the dual full-colour displays and 4-directional push encoder to locate any project, sound, instrument, effect or sample instantly. The Variation Engine automatically generates fresh melodies and drum patterns to spark new ideas, whilst the Lock feature creates exciting transitions through parameter snapshot morphing. This comprehensive package includes MASCHINE 2.0 software, an acclaimed 8 GB sound library, and KOMPLETE 12 SELECT featuring premium instruments like MASSIVE and MONARK – delivering everything needed to transform initial concepts into polished, complete tracks.
