![]() ![]() ![]() On the software part I feel that Native Instruments has an extremely difficult job. Like the little click response on buttons, something I didn’t even know I wanted until the mk2 came along, what a lovely improvement. On the whole many of these changes are seemingly minimal improvements, but in fact they are most useful. The fact that you can now audition samples from the hardware before committing helps a lot too. It has helped me to do more from the hardware controller where before I would jump to the computer screen. I also enjoy the new screens a lot better, easier on the eyes and improved readability. I can now confidently tap away the night without worrying about waking up my kids in the next room. The sensitivity is just amazing, even at really low velocities. I thought the pads on the original Maschine were really good, but to me the Mk2 is an order of magnitude better still. and having the same kind of thing in Maschine is a definite workflow improvement for me.īesides having multi-color LEDs, the pads also have a much improved sensitivity. I already did the same thing in other music production software to indicate groups of instruments, sounds, effects, etc. While the rainbow colored, toy-like appearance did not appeal to me a whole lot at first, I found myself using color coding on sounds and groups pretty much from day one. Multi-colored pads and group buttons on the Maschine mk2 controller. So I’ll try my best not to ruminate and list everything you can already find at the Native Instruments website anyway, and instead just mention a few things I found particularly interesting when using the new Maschine. Now, I realize I am a bit late to the party with this review, and to be honest after checking some earlier reviews I found pretty much everything I would like to say has already been written at Oh Drat. The groovebox-like hardware controller can also be used to control external hardware and software via MIDI with Maschine’s MIDI mode. A tightly integrated system that can be used standalone – including hosting of 3 rd party plugins, or as a plugin in another host. First there was the Maschine, then came Maschine Mikro, and now Native Instruments has updated both to mk2 with new software features, an improved controller, and additional hardware accessories.įor those who have never heard of Maschine before, it is basically a combination of music production software with a dedicated hardware controller. ![]()
