Produit performantIl donnera tout son potentiel avec le logiciel Maschine de Native Intrument, mais il pourra également être utilisé dans un autre logiciel d'édition musicale (CUBASE, STUDIO ONE, FL STUDIO), sans aucun problèmeLes Pads sont larges et agréables au touché. Ils capturent plusieurs niveaux de pression, pour davantage de subtilité dans le jeu.Un produit que je recommande fortement

I was so excited to receive the maschine. Once received, I opened it, registered product and installed all downloads following their dorections. NONE of the install work with maschine. Uninstaller in reinstalled thinking maybe I was just too excited and had missed a step. Nothing. It won't even turn on without the maschine 2 application. I've spent a total of 7 (frusterating) hours hours over the lay two days, reading through a ridiculous amount of troubleshooting , manufacturers support and reddit pages just trying to find ANYTHING the help me get the correct application download. There is ZERO helpful information on their site and when doing online searches THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST COMMON PROBLEM PEOPLE HAVE WITH NATIVE INSTRUMENTS. I've written product support, word days and still have not heard back. This has rendered my maschine completely useless and im returning product, super bummed and disappointed in native instruments.

I tried quite a few cheaper drum pads to use with my DAW but the touch sensitivity is lousy with those. I tried you tube hacks with electrical tape and that made the Akai pads OK but not great. These are the real deal. Its a lot of machine and software just to be a drum trigger but its hefty, well made and the pads are great, perfect touch sensitivity. Its a little pricy but worth it. Great addition to my arsenal. I use it with Addictive Drums 2 and Studio One 5. The pad mapping works great.

Me parece una compra perfecta, para ser el hermano menor de las Mashine. Tengo tarjeta externa de sonido y suple a la Mashice superior. No necesito pantallas porque siempre lo utilizo con el software Mashine en un pc. Muy bonito el efecto cuando se conecta al usb. Llegar a los menus es un poco liante. Lo hago todo con software. Pero tiene todos los atajos para hacerlo casi todo con la controladora.La sensibilidad de los pad es muy buena. Siempre recibe señal por muy flojo que le de. Quizás lo más incómodo es cambiar los distintos tipos de acorde con una pantalla tan pequeña. Debería poder hacerse mediante el software Maschine. Se conecta enseguida. Pero decir un pero, alguna vez, trasteando mucho, se ha llegado a colgar en el pc. No deja de sonar, pero no responde a los cambios. Cerrar software o quitar el usb y se conecta de nuevo enseguida. Comprado de segunda mano y vino perfecta. La caja algo usada y venía sin cable e instrucciones. Pero cable tiene todo el mundo y las intrucciones están en la web. Muy contento con la compra y el precio.

É divertido demais. Quando você conecta com o programa, os botões controlam praticamente todo o processo... Tem atalhos e botões para quase toda função.Dentro vem um serial, que você registra o produto e tem direito a baixar uma quantidade bem grande de conteúdo de produção musical e do próprio aparelho.Simplesmente adorei, o produto chegou no fim da tarde e fiquei até amanhecer o dia brincando.

I was looking for a new way to approach tune making. This device shines with its Machine DAW software and the ability to customize it with the configuration software. You can view many Youtube videos demonstrating its capabilities, so I will summarize here:The Maschine software is a DAW that can use existing VSTs and any of the NI expansion packs to create songs.Maschine software is based on the concept of building blocks for your composition...build a beat or phrase, chain beats and/or phrases and link them together.This is not how I create music but it's very useful, nonetheless.I love the key and chord modes that allow great experimentation. You configure your scale and base key and pretty much can't go wrong with the pad strikes. There's many different chord types and scales to choose from which really opens up the experimental aspect.I use Cubase and Reason and it integrates perfectly as a VST instrument in both cases.Many instances can be opened, so you can create a song using your favorite DAW and using the Maschine as an instrument for each track. This is what works best for me.Additionally, it is easily set up in MIDI mode by pressing (SHIFT + project) and using the configuration software, the pads can be adjusted to match your favorite drum machine. The config software allows you to adjust pad colors in MIDI mode.Maschine works really well if you have another NI keyboard. I have a Kontrol S61 and it can be used to browse and play harmonic notes right alongside the pads.Lastly, Maschine hardware seems really well built and has fantastic tactile response.Everything is downloaded from NI. The software, owners' manual and all the other documentation is well written, straightforward and do a good job explaining all the concepts they dicuss.

Upon purchase I was sceptical to how I would use this piece of kit in my work flow, and when I realized it was only compatible with it's own software I freaked a bit, but it's easy to learn, and works as a vst in your main daw , plus the kit is fun to use, and in my case the workflow is much more fun than the click and drag, if you already have midi keyboards, synths, and other hardware and are looking for an integrated drum machine this is honestly probably not your product, but if you are currently using a mouse, and software, this is a great product, something to default to wether it be a melody, drum pattern or chord progression, if you've already used a DAW extensively you can master the software in about a day, really a small learning curve, and if your brand new expect It to take 1-3 months to know what "most" stuff is, either way I won't tell you to by it or not, just leaving my thoughts for you!

I'm no producer but I enjoy making songs for myself if no one else. I've sold a few beats but mostly I do this for fun. I was starting to get frustrated using Ableton Live, I couldn't take advantage of all the features and versatility because the workflow was so cumbersome, it was hard to keep that creative feel, I realized I needed something to take my workflow to the next level. I was on the fence between Nascinr and Ableton Push. I decided on the Maschine Mikro because the workflow was so clean, oh and the price was nice. I didn't want to invest in another piece of equipment that was going to collect dust. This is just what I needed, out of the box it integrates perfectly with Maschine. I want happy about having to learn a new DAW but it made song arrangements very easy and intuitive instead of recording bars you work on stages of the music. Build your intro, you're done, then build your Verse. For the repetitive parts you don't have to copy or play them again you simply turn them on in the scene. You spend more time creating and less time clicking which hurts creativity. I already regret not buying the Maschine MK3. My advice is if you're wanting to be more creative and your workflow is suffering go ahead and pay the extra for the MK3 but if budget won't allow this is more than enough. You can watch videos on YouTube for all the bells and whistles. The other benefit are the expansion packs you get a ton of free packs and instruments so you can start making music right away. They are structured and mixed well so you can hear potential songs clearly
