A Direct Heir to the MASCHINE Lineage
Designed by
Native Instruments, MASCHINE+ continues the philosophy of the range: unifying sampling, synthesis and performance in a tactile interface. It brings the renowned MASCHINE controller workflow to a fully autonomous experience, allowing you to chain ideas, patterns and arrangements without leaving the instrument. Those familiar with the ecosystem will find their bearings, with fewer cables and more creative freedom.
Who It's For and How to Use It
MASCHINE+ is made for beatmakers, producers and live performers who want to compose, sample and play without a computer screen. In the studio, it becomes a command center to create kits, program
grooves and record takes. On stage, its standalone mode and responsive pads let you trigger scenes, patterns and effects in real time, staying focused on the performance.
Key Features to Speed Up Creation
The
standalone mode offers full recording, editing and sequencing, with fast slicing and stretching to build your own kits. The included selection (MASSIVE, FM8, MONARK, PRISM, RAUM, PHASIS, etc.) covers analog basses, sharp leads and modern textures. The Audio plug-in lets you transform guitars, vocals or drums into rhythmic material to sculpt live. And if needed, just open the project in MASCHINE software to continue on your computer.
