Native Instruments

collapse expand iconDescription

MASCHINE MK2 is the second edition of Native Instruments' highly respected groove production system, and it comes stacked with numerous enhanced workflow improvements for an even more intuitive experience and faster performance. MASCHINE lets you effortlessly produce beats, melodies and harmonies with powerful drum synths, premium sounds, an integrated sampler and more—cutting-edge software meets intuitive hardware for ultrasmooth workflow.

MASCHINE’s multi-color pads provide ultimate feel in the thick of the beat. Dedicated group buttons and a master push encoder deliver hands-on control of sounds and key parameters. And eight display knobs automatically map to key instrument parameters for on-the-fly, two-handed tweaking and sound shaping. The included MASCHINE 2 software is exploding with cutting-edge technology. Improved browsing, arranging and sampling, plus a new mixer, plug-in strip and exclusive drum synths. Get ready for the most responsive, fluid and musical beatmaking experience ever.

Scales and Chords
MASCHINE 2 extends Keyboard Mode with a new scale and chord engine—fully integrated into the MASCHINE workflow. Simply select your scale and start playing melodies on MASCHINE’s 16 ultrasensitive pads that are always in key. Engage Chord Mode and play chords directly into your compositions.

Arpeggiator
MASCHINE 2 extends Note Repeat into a fully functional arpeggiator. Play any number of notes and let MASCHINE turn them into a melodic pattern. Use the arpeggiator in combination with Scale and Chord Modes and get polyphonic performances from just one key—always in tune. What’s more, the output of the arpeggiator is recorded into the Pattern Editor—perfect for post-performance editing.

Keyboard Integration
MASCHINE 2 gives you full keyboard functionality within the MASCHINE environment. Press browse on your KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard and the KOMPLETE Browser pops up on your computer screen, letting you select and load a sound directly into a sound slot in MASCHINE. Watch scales, chords and arpeggios light up across KOMPLETE KONTROL’s Light Guide, see the color of your sounds in MASCHINE directly on the keyboards, and get perfectly mapped parameters instantly with Native Map.

Introducing Native Kontrol Standard
KOMPLETE KONTROL continues its evolution with Native KONTROL STANDARD (NKS). NKS is Native Instruments’ extended plug-in format that opens up the KOMPLETE KONTROL system.

It allows VST and KONTAKT instrument developers to integrate their plug-ins with KOMPLETE KONTROL and MASCHINE at the same deep level as KOMPLETE Instruments. This means that even instruments not built by NI can be fully integrated in the KOMPLETE KONTROL and MASCHINE browsers, with instrument parameters intelligently mapped straight out of the box. NKS instruments can access the Light Guide, Smart Play features, and the full creative potential of KOMPLETE KONTROL. And what’s more, the NKS version of an instrument will be a free update for existing owners.

If you are purchasing, or already own a MASCHINE Series product, you qualify for special pricing on KOMPLETE 13 and KOMPLETE 13 ULTIMATE.
