Native Instruments Maschine MK3 music production and performance instrument
Please note: Maschine MK3 No longer includes a power supply unit as part of NI’s push for better sustainability. This product does not require the power supply and works on USB bus power.

For a limited time until April 30, 2024, NI is offering customers who purchase the Maschine MK3 the opportunity to receive six Maschine expansions at no extra cost. These expansions are specialized collections of sounds crafted by top sound designers and music artists, covering a range of genres from drum samples to loops and synth presets.
To redeem your complimentary expansions, simply register your Maschine's serial number using the Native Access software. You'll then receive an email containing exclusive voucher codes to unlock the expansion packs of your choice. With options ranging from soulful hip-hop to drum and bass, there's something for every musical taste.
The new and upgraded Maschine Mk3 now features some amazing updates including two high resolution displays and a built in audio interface for easy connectivity, high quality audio and even sampling.
The Maschine Mk3 comes bundled with both an 8 GB Maschine library and Komplete 14 Select software together offering 45 GB of sounds and instruments.
Main features of Maschine MK3 include:
DISPLAY
The Maschine Mk3 borrows the much loved displays from its bigger brother the Maschine Studio. These dual screens are full colour and high resolution to help you browse the large library of included sounds, edit samples, tweak tracks and much more, all without having to look up at your computer. This is essential for live performances or where space is a premium.
PADS
As with previous Maschines the Maschine Mk3 has 16 ultra sensitive pads laid out in a 4 x 4 grid. These are superb for drumming and sequencing. Each pad is backlit with RGB LEDs to give visual feedback from the software.
SMART STRIP
Maschine Mk3 also features a smart strip bar for strumming notes, pitch bending sounds, performing with FX, and more
BUS POWERED
The Maschine Mk3 can be powered from a USB 2.0 socket or from the included power supply. Great for on the move production.
INTERFACE
For the first time, Native Instruments have built in interface in the Maschine Mk3 and they’ve done it well. The built in sound card will run 96 kHz / 24 bit audio from two balanced TRS outputs. There are two TRS line inputs for sampling as well as a mic input. MIDI in and out are provided to sync up other devices and a socket for a foot switch for added control. Finally there is a stereo headphone out to monitor your performance.
SOFTWARE
The included MASCHINE software comes loaded with an 8 GB sound library, created by renowned sound designers and artists. 8627 samples, 445 full drum kits, 388 multi-sampled instruments, 403 sliced loops, 1200 patterns, and 38 projects, plus five outstanding drum synths. Plus, you get KOMPLETE 14 SELECT with 50 GB of instruments and effects.
