When Native Instruments first released Maschine in 2009, there was nothing like it. How intuitive is the Maschine MK3 for someone who’s never used any Maschine products? WHAT IS IT
#NATIVE INSTRUMENTS MASCHINE 3 MANUAL#
I was really thrown into answering all these questions, as when the MK3 was shipped to me, the manual wasn’t even available yet! So, here’s a review by a producer who had to guess her way through most of the MK3’s interface and has never used a hardware-based drum machine. I’ll be breaking this down from the perspective of a newcomer to the system, as many of you likely are. So, just how intuitive is the $599 Maschine MK3 for someone who knows other music production programs? What’s it like to start making music on pads if the Maschine MK3 is your first drum machine? How much learning is involved in order to operate the Maschine MK3 on a basic level? I might not have ever made music on a system like this, but my inexperience here is an asset. Maschine, a hand-in-hand combination of sequencing software with a physical piece of gear, lets you program beats, loops, and melodies by tapping touch-sensitive pads while its software component runs on your computer. So, when the opportunity arrived to try out Native Instruments’ newest hardware / software combo, the Maschine MK3, I was intrigued to experience a different way of music-making. I’ve spent years making music and programming beats, mostly with software-only tools, such as Ableton and Logic Pro.
