Well, first things first: I suppose it's important to mention that I'm not talking about out-of-the box behavior. Usability really depends on what you make of it, but the Maschine can definitely be capable. This allows you to apply effects on a per-sound, group or global basis. Sounds route their output to the group, groups route theirs to the master channel. I often use mine to work on orchestral setups for example, hardly something related to percussion )īasically you have 16 sounds (4x4 pad), each sound can hold an instrument but is always part of group. NKS is a standard set up by Native Instruments.ĭespite the focus on percussion NI isn't lying when they call this a production system. Every instrument or effect which is "NKS compliant" can be used with Maschine.
Obviously there's an emphasis on percussion (Maschine provides several drum synths as well as a ton of samples and presets to use), but despite that you can use Maschine for a lot more as well. When used with the software you can do pretty much everything from behind the controller. You can fully customize the MIDI mode layout using NI's so called controller editor. it also has a so called "MIDI mode" in which it will behave like a regular MIDI controller.
The Maschine Mk3 is a controller which fully depends on the software to make it work.
