Native Instruments Announce Maschine Mk3

Among the new features, the most notable is the new audio ins on the back of Maschine Mk3, finally allowing users to sample directly into the unit. There's also an audio out and headphone port so it's completely self contained.

On top there's new bigger buttons and the high res five-inch colour screens from the flagship Studio version have made their way to Maschine mk3. There's also some new function buttons dotted around the unit and a new slimmer form.

Maschine Mk3'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.

With a professional-grade, 96kHz / 24-bit built-in audio interface, Maschine Mk3 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.

Mashine Mk3 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, Mashine Mk3 keeps you moving from one step to the next without breaking your creative stride.

Maschine MK3 comes with an acclaimed 8 GB library of high-quality samples, sliced loops, drum kits, instruments, patterns, and projects right out of the box. Plus, it also includes Komplete 11 Select – 11 premium instruments like, Massive and Monark, and effects for a sonic palette as vast as your imagination. 

Two high-res color screens make it easy to slice samples, browse and preview sounds, tweak FX, and mix and edit your projects without looking at your computer.
