![]() ![]() ![]() Read Native Instruments Maschine Mk3 review Prev of 11 Next Prev of 11 Next This is a genuine one-stop groove production shop, with a slick, smooth workflow and limitless creative scope. Samples can be loaded or resampled onto pads, MPC-style plugin instruments and effects are fully supported and a huge library of NI Expansions is available for adding sounds and presets to your Maschine library, many of them specifically made for hip-hop. The software works standalone for the production of full tracks, or as a synced plugin in a host DAW. The Maschine controller (the current version is Mk3) hooks into the Maschine DAW that comes with it via 16 RGB-backlit performance pads, a host of rotaries and buttons and two colour displays. Despite the pivotal role of the MPC groovebox in the early development of hip-hop, these days you’re more likely to find a Maschine MIDI controller in the studio of the urban beatmaker than its historic counterpart, partly thanks to Akai taking its eye off the ball for a while at the end of the noughties, but mostly because it’s an ace bit of kit in its own right.
