Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK3

Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK3 (Black)

The Maschine hardware from Native Instruments has always been a winning formula, allowing DAW users to get hands-on with their music. Now they've unveiled the latest generation - the Maschine Mikro Mk3 - with a beautifully accessible and understated interface. But don't be fooled by its relative simplicity; this thing packs a punch. Take your music production to the next level with the Maschine Mikro.

Sleek Interface
In typical Native Instruments fashion, the Maschine Mikro Mk3 is a thing of beauty. A simple selection of buttons and controls offer total control over your project, allowing you to get on with the important stuff. 16 velocity-sensitive rubber pads allow intuitive, responsive input (drum, melody, chord progressions and step-sequencer) and the dual-touch smart strip allows in-depth interaction with instruments. Strum a chord, bend a note, tweak a parameter - your choice.

Versatility Redefined
Native Instruments have kindly included heaps of features and extras to take your creativity to the next level. Total integration with Native Instruments software makes your life that little bit easier with tweaking and performance tools. You also get 1.6GB worth of Maschine sounds, loops, one-shots, sample instruments and much more. With this in mind, the Maschine Mikro Mk3 can be used with software as a VST, audio unit or AAX plug-in with all major DAWs - winner.
