The last time the Maschine had such a major overhaul was with the development and release of the Maschine Mikro at the end of 2011, which was a smaller and more compact version of the original (reviewed here at Juno Plus here earlier this year). It features high quality performance pads for triggering your sounds or launching scenes, loops and patterns without fuss and in a manner that lends itself to those “on the fly” performance choices that can add so much magic in a live environment.
Its tough build quality and fast workflow lends itself to live performances – although it still needs to be hooked up to a laptop. But it isn’t just a tool for the studio – it has been designed to help the user get away from the computer and into a more organic and creative head space. Now, with the Maschine Mk2, how exactly have they improved upon the original?įor those unfamiliar with the Maschine production studio, it’s essentially a traditional drum machine backed by powerful sequencing and production software with an extensive sound library filled with top of the line samples. When Native Instruments unveiled their Maschine hardware and software combination it was received with resounding approval across the board.
