Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK3

Powerful hands-on hardware controller

Maschine’s claim to fame extends beyond its powerhouse sampling and sequencing software. Tight hardware integration makes using Maschine an incredible tactile experience. Maschine Mikro Mk3 gives you much of the same hardware integration as Maschine, but in a smaller, more streamlined format. What’s great is that Native Instruments gave Maschine Mikro Mk3 a complete set of navigation and function controls, as well as a large-sized set of velocity-sensitive, color-coded pads, so even though it’s smaller than the original Maschine controller, you still get an amazing hands-on experience.
