A Complete Groove Production Laboratory

Native Instruments' retooled Maschine MK3 offers powerful new features such as a built-in 24-bit/96kHz audio interface, high-resolution full-color displays, larger pads, touch-sensitive knobs, and more. As a software instrument and hardware controller in one, Maschine gives you the ability to make beats, tweak sounds, create patterns, and more — you can even sequence entire songs! More than 8GB of sample content, along with the full Komplete Select software bundle adds a complete array of production-ready sounds to your sonic toolbox. Add to that an intuitive layout and seamless DAW integration, and you've got a complete groove production laboratory at your fingertips. Maschine MK3 lets you create, mix, and perform like never before!

A host of powerful MK3 features

With Maschine MK3 comes an array of powerful features. A built-in 24-bit/96kHz audio interface allows you to capture patterns and sequences with your DAW. A pair of high-resolution full-color displays allows for precision sample slicing, sound tweaking, note editing, mixing, browsing, and more. Two-handed drumming is a breeze, thanks to larger pads, and touch-sensitive knobs make tweaking parameters just as easy. Browsing, navigating, and adjusting levels and balance is fast and intuitive, by virtue of a four-directional push encoder.

A smart combination of hardware and software

The Maschine hardware is both an instrument and a controller in one. Sixteen color-coded, velocity-sensitive pads let you intuitively make beats, tweak sounds, create patterns and sequence whole songs with the powerful Maschine software. Two large, high-resolution displays with eight corresponding rotary encoders, buttons, and transport controls integrate perfectly with the Maschine software. Advanced AU and VST plug-in hosting capabilities give you unheard-of music-making power, and an integrated NIS sound browser provides complete integration with Komplete. With this advanced categorical browser, you can find the perfect sound in seconds — even if you have the entire Komplete Ultimate library loaded.

Easy song creation, remixing, and performance capabilities

Maschine's pattern-oriented concept frees you from the limits of linear arrangement. Build songs by layering patterns into scenes you can rearrange on the fly. Maschine offers external sampling via its built-in audio interface as well as internal re-sampling, precise editing and slicing, auto-mapping, effects and an ultra-convenient browser — all perfectly attuned to the hardware controller. Powerful sample editing tools let you go beyond groove arrangement, turning Maschine into a full sample editing workstation as well as groove production tool. At Sweetwater, we've found that Maschine's amazing slicing tools do everything classic groove production samplers can do and much, much more!

Over 8GB of production-ready drums, instruments, and loops

Maschine comes loaded with over 8GB of production-ready sounds and patterns. You get fat drum kits and state-of-the-art synthesizer sounds, including vintage MPC 60 kits and classic synth samples from the Moog Voyager, Korg MS 20, and Juno 60. You also get pristine acoustic instrument loops that have been sliced and tagged for your convenience. Maschine features studio-quality effects too, ranging from dynamics processors to beat-mashers, plus mastering tools and a Grain Stretch effect. And to top it all off, Maschine includes the Native Instruments Komplete Select plug-in bundle, which includes 11 excellent Komplete titles.

Ableton Link integration for reliable synchronization

Experience the collaborative freedom of Ableton Link with Maschine! Lock multiple systems to a common timeline. Change tempo globally across systems. Enjoy spontaneous jamming, collaborative creation, and synchronized performances.

Includes Komplete Select software bundle

The Best

It's got everything and more. Tech Support is AMAZING. This by far is my best purchase from Sweetwater:)
Rated 5/5

awesome midi controller

I haven't tried out the maschine software too much but this is a fabulous midi controller with a quality soundcard built-in. I don't have a fancy mic, headphones, or PC; however this piece of equipment is the heart of my studio and it's easy to transport.
Rated 5/5

Helping to bring music to more music makers

Maschine has been around for a while now and with this MK3 version its even better than before. You can find countless articles and videos on Youtube showing how easy and productive Maschine can be when expressing your self. Yoyu can effortlessly take advantage of the inspiration that comes in the Machine content. However, many software and hardware groove boxes are not accessible to those who are totally blind or those who use screen readers. With Native Instruments dropping the latest Machine MK3, I have a new accessible tool in my toolbox. This offers the feel of a groove box with the added power and speech output of my computer. I love this thing and my Sweetwater sales engineer Aaron helped me with my purchase and offers stellar service. I like that Sweetwater followed up my purchase with an email with helpful articles to help me get started.

Lots of fun after an initial learning curve.

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to using gear like this, despite having been a musician for 40+ years. After a few learning sessions, reading and watching tutorials I began to see the possibilities with Maschine. I have a long way to go in unlocking the possibilities but I've made a few ideas spring to life. Really looking forward to what's ahead with Maschine!

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Nick Blough

As someone who has been playing and performing music their entire life, I was looking for a simple, easy to use solution to get into beat making and production. After lots of research, I landed on the Maschine MKIII. This thing is fantastic. The easy-to-use software made getting up and running a breeze and with the tactile buttons I’ve been able to develop muscle memory on the instrument so I could elevate my performance to the next level. I would recommend the Maschine MKIII to anyone who is in the market for a new drum machine.

Zac Borland

The Maschine MK3 is the ultimate controller for the one man band. As a solo artist the MK3 allows me to play my guitar and trigger sampled backing tracks and effects into my current songs. This controller has made writing new music simple and works flawlessly with my current Native Instrument plugins. Playing along to samples has never been easier!

Clayton Timmons

The Native Instruments Maschine Mk3 is a fantastic solution for any producer or beat-maker looking to slim down their workflow into one concise and intuitive controller. Using the pair of onboard displays, performers are able to quickly navigate through plug-ins and add effects easily and efficiently. Touch-sensitive knobs and large pads make nuance expressions and subtle adjustments more accessible than ever before.
