Full Description

Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK3

Hands-On Music Production with 16 Velocity-Sensitive Pads

The Maschine Mikro MK3 is a streamlined version of its bigger brother, the Maschine. The Maschine Mikro MK3 builds on the success of previous versions with a range of upgrade and enhancements. A new touch strip is included for versatile performance control, allowing you to create dynamic sweeps and control parameters such as pitch and modulation.

The 16 velocity-sensitive pads acts as the main control for your sounds and modulation, allowing you to create rhythms, bass lines, chords and melodies on the fly. The Maschine Mikro MK3 is highly versatile, allowing you to use it as a high-performance sampler or a standalone production unit. It also comes complete with custom software which you can use to import new sounds and create full songs.

What's New In MK3

The new pads are bigger in size, providing an ultra-responsive way to interact with your sounds. The revamped look now includes a smaller more concise screen, providing all the information on your settings and sounds you will require.

A new multi-function Push Encoder replaces the navigation buttons of the Mk2, and new buttons are added to control Pitch, Mod, Perform and Notes. The Mikro's ergonomic layout allows you to navigate more easily than ever before, browsing your favourite sounds and switching between different ways of playing in an instant.

Studio FX, Performance FX and Variation

New intuitive performance makes it ideal for both studio and stage applications. 24 built-in studio FX are included, spanning from compressors and saturators to reverbs and filters. Cutting-edge effects such as Grain-Delay, Ice Verb and Frequency Shifter are also included for adding colour to your sounds.

The Variation section allows you to generate random patterns at the touch of a single button. This is a great tool for drawing inspiration and building up tracks when you hit a mental block.

A dedicated ‘Perform’ button is included which gives you access to eight creative effect for live performance use. The effects include Stutter, Burst Echo, Scratcher and Flanger. You can use the integrated Smart Strip to control them for added flexibility.

Smart Strip and Push Encoder

One of the most prominent new features of the MK3 is the dual-touch Smart Strip. This versatile Smart Strip allows you to slide your fingers to strum instruments, bend sounds, use Perform FX and more. You can even use it control automation such as pitch and modulation for in-depth performance control.

The Push Encoder replaces navigation buttons, providing a more intuitive way to browse and navigate your sounds. You can also use it for adjusting volume levels, panning and controlling parameters.

Complete with Massive, Monark and Reaktor Prism

The Maschine Mikro MK3 comes complete with a full version of popular Komplete plugins. Once you register your hardware you will receive full versions of Massive, Monark and Reaktor Prism. Massive is a powerful virtual analog synthesizer. You can use Massive to create everything from EDM bass lines to 80s style synth leads.

The new sound - introducing Massive X

Step into the future of digital sound synthesis. Massive X is here. And it is monumental. From the impressive GUI which facilitates deeper sound design to the colossal sound - vibrant, room shaking, and experimental. Massive X provides sonic freedom on an unprecedented scale.

At the centre of Massive X's design you will find a brand new oscillator section which is capable of producing a huge array of sounds. Featuring 170 wavetables and 10 different reading modes. It's a great starting point for the sound design process.

Route any output to any input to experiment with your sound. Bypass, feedback, and send audio wherever you like. And you can draw precise patterns in the performer section for complex patches that evolve over time. This is expressive synthesis at its best.
