MASCHINE combines the flexibility of computer-based music production with the ease of a groove box into one powerful creative tool. Utilizing onboard samples or your own audio files, MASCHINE's symbiosis of hardware and software not only ensures a fast and fun workflow, but lets you easily turn your ideas into professional productions.



The MASCHINE controller intuitively channels your creative impulses into total interaction with the software. The controller offers a very high fun factor with mouse-free operation of the MASCHINE software at every level, from initial spontaneous jams to complete arrangement of your finished tracks.

• 16 velocity-sensitive illuminated pads (with aftertouch), two backlit displays with 256x64 pixels, 11 rotary knobs, 41 buttons
• Bus powered via USB 2.0, MIDI I/O, Kensington lock
• Robust and sturdy, perfect for studio and stage
• Can be used as a regular MIDI controller for other software or hardware (see "MIDI controller" section below)

A sophisticated and easy–to-use tag-based browser gives you instant access to any sound, loop and instrument.

• Browse for projects, scenes, patterns, kits, single samples and effects
• Search by key words or attributes using the search field in the software
• Use the controller knobs to filter search results
• Add sample folders to the library easily—just drag and drop from the browser to the software
• Keep track of your samples with the convenient tagging function of the browser
• Quickbrowse – cycle through similar sounds while patterns continue playing

MASCHINE's built-in effects section contains a powerful arsenal of studio-quality effects to shape and supercharge your sound, including dynamic effects, modulation, distortion, delays, reverbs, filters and EQs.

• Flexible routing possibilities: Two effects units each for every sound, group and the master slot
• Create multi-effect chains by combining effects into their own groups
• Record automation of all effect settings via hardware or software on the fly
• Effects can be applied (and automated) to external input signals
• Assign effects via drag-and-drop from the browser or using the hardware controller

The MASCHINE Controller can not only be used with the MASCHINE software - it is also a powerful universal hardware controller for use with any MIDI-compatible hardware or software.

• Easily assign any button, pad and knob to a MIDI function – from software to hardware synths, samplers, sequencers and effects
• Switch control from MASCHINE to other gear instantly with a dedicated hardware button
• Pre-produced templates for many Native Instruments and third-party instruments included
• Easily create your own custom MASCHINE Controller settings using the included MIDI mapping software
• DAWs with Mackie Control Universal (MCU) support can be controlled easily with the MASCHINE Controller. Information from the sequencer/DAW is shown on the hardware displays.*

ASCHINE lets you easily create rhythms, bass lines, chords and melodies, and arrange them into complete tracks on the fly.

• Pattern-based sequencer with 64 patterns per group
• Eight groups can be arranged in the "scene" arranger
• Two recording modes: step sequence programming and realtime recording
• High-resolution drum grid and piano roll editors
• Scene arranger for linear and non-linear playback
• Live automation for effects, sampler and mixer parameters for dynamic sounds
• Four Note Repeat settings: Play the selected sound automatically at a given quantization

MASCHINE is based on a high-performance sampler engine, allowing audio recording of internal or external sources and precise sample playback with maximum audio quality.

• Features extensive voice, velocity and pitch settings as well as diverse envelope and modulation pages
• Record all internal audio paths or external audio through your soundcard - all without stopping your audio: sample an external audio source or rearrange/remix the loops you created in MASCHINE
• Audio recording with threshold detection or sequencer sync
• Resample in a pre-selected length (e.g. 4 bars)
• Audio editing page with loop function to quickly trim your samples
• Slice loops by transient detection or a preselected grid
• Auto-map the slices to the controller pads and re-arrange on the fly without stopping audio
• Convenient mapping editor with velocity and key layers
• Eight individual stereo outputs (16 mono outs)

In contrast to conventional groove boxes, MASCHINE provides seamless integration as a plug-in to your host sequencer. Produce the whole song in MASCHINE or move it to another sequencer for further processing and arranging.

• MASCHINE offers the same incredible feature set both as a stand-alone application and as a plug-in within any DAW or sequencer that supports VST, AU or RTAS. As a plug-in, MASCHINE retains all of its capabilities including total recall and routing up to eight stereo outs to your host's mixer.
• Export audio files: Bounce individual files from all patterns, groups, scenes or the master channel
• Import audio files: Drag and drop sounds from your hard disc to the MASCHINE browser
• Instant navigation: Open several instances of MASCHINE in your host sequencer and easily switch between them using just one controller

Naja, meine Erfahrung gestern und heute war nunmal, dass mir keiner helfen konnte/wollte, ich hatte das Gefühl mit Standardfloskeln abgekanzelt zu werden und im Hintergrund immer subtile Hinweise von wegen "wird schon werden, mach ma schon, spätestens in xxx wird alles gut." Und ich sehe nicht ein da für ein halbgares Produkt den Tester zu spielen, dann sollen Sie es eben auf den Markt werfen wenn es anstandslos funktioniert, aber es gab ja nicht einmal eine Demoversion, dafür, im NI-typschen Stil 20 Videos die Dir erklären wie super easy alles ist.

Die Foren habe ich die letzten 2 Tage so nebenbei durchgeackert, von Problemen dieser Art wird immer wieder gesprochen, jedoch ließ sich kein Moderator auf einen vernünftigen Kommentar zu dem Thema ein... anyway. Produkt bewertet in meinem persönlichen Test: Idee brilliant, wenn es nur gehen würde. Aber da das Hauptargument beim Erwerb von Maschine war, einen Hardwarestepsequenzer zum Rhytmusprogrammieren in der Software zu bekommen werde ich mir anders helfen, wie gesagt, entweder eine gebrauchte Electribe oder die APC40 mit einem dem entsprechenden Patch...
