Native Instruments Maschine Mk3 music production and performance instrument

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 Maschine and Komplete 11 select software together offering 32gb of sounds and instruments.

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

Maschine Mk3 includes Maschine 2 software which contains 8 GB of samples, loops, instruments, songs, drum kits and more.  Also included is Komplete 11 Select with over 25 GB of instruments and effects including :
