Native Instruments Maschine (NI Maschine)

Create tight rhythms, harmonies and melodies in moments with Native-Instruments MASCHINE - the groundbreaking instrument that combines a pattern-based sequencer, professional sampler, multi-effect unit and VST/AU plug-in host with tactile control. Experience a fully creative workflow with the integrated hardware/software system, combining the flexibility of computer-based music production with straightforward, two-handed control for composing, performing, browsing, sampling, slicing, sound-shaping and tweaking effects.

MASCHINE is constantly evolving; the latest 1.7 free update opens up even easier integration with the world of KOMPLETE.

Browse and load the plug-in presets of all KOMPLETE 8 Instruments and Effects from within the Native Instruments MACHINE hardware browser - without ever having to touch your mouse or keyboard.

Make MASCHINE the centerpiece of your studio set-up. With direct access to all software functions via the intuitive hardware, you can easily browse, load, tweak, play, arrange, and automate all sampler, plug-in and effect parameters with full hands-on control. With MASCHINE you can also control and sequence all of your external hardware instruments, or switch to MIDI mode to control other software. Once your track is ready, drag and drop your patterns as MIDI or audio files directly into your DAW to finalize and mix your production. You’ll soon realize MASCHINE is a powerhouse capable of revolutionizing the way you make music.

If you are a user of iMASCHINE - NI’s on-the-go beat sketchpad for the iPhone® and iPod touch – you can import your iMASCHINE projects to MASCHINE to finish your ideas in your home studio.

MASCHINE is the ultimate performance tool for creative musicians. The controller is super-sturdy yet easily portable, the highly responsive pads and 11 endless rotary knobs are addictively playable, while the two backlit displays keep you informed of what's going on - even in the most demanding situations.

Use MASCHINE as an instrument and/or MIDI controller for performing your own tracks, or sync it with other gear like TRAKTOR PRO 2 to add more dynamics to your live set.

Perform with MASCHINE once, and you'll never want to leave home without it.
