Review: Best bang for the buck. - I was looking for a new way to approach tune making. This device shines with its Machine DAW software and the ability to customize it with the configuration software. You can view many Youtube videos demonstrating its capabilities, so I will summarize here: The Maschine software is a DAW that can use existing VSTs and any of the NI expansion packs to create songs. Maschine software is based on the concept of building blocks for your composition...build a beat or phrase, chain beats and/or phrases and link them together. This is not how I create music but it's very useful, nonetheless. I love the key and chord modes that allow great experimentation. You configure your scale and base key and pretty much can't go wrong with the pad strikes. There's many different chord types and scales to choose from which really opens up the experimental aspect. I use Cubase and Reason and it integrates perfectly as a VST instrument in both cases. Many instances can be opened, so you can create a song using your favorite DAW and using the Maschine as an instrument for each track. This is what works best for me. Additionally, it is easily set up in MIDI mode by pressing (SHIFT + project) and using the configuration software, the pads can be adjusted to match your favorite drum machine. The config software allows you to adjust pad colors in MIDI mode. Maschine works really well if you have another NI keyboard. I have a Kontrol S61 and it can be used to browse and play harmonic notes right alongside the pads. Lastly, Maschine hardware seems really well built and has fantastic tactile response. Everything is downloaded from NI. The software, owners' manual and all the other documentation is well written, straightforward and do a good job explaining all the concepts they dicuss. Review: Probably the most fun I've had in a while. - Warning: From what I've read it's not compatible with Windows 7. That being said, fortunately I don't live in the dark ages and my computer is up to date. Okay well my laptop is... That being said, in Windows 10 it took some fidgeting to get it going, after that it worked flawlessly. I'm very much a beginner at this whole thing, I originally just had and MPD218 and was working with Ableton. Nothing fancy just learning the ropes. I did a ton of research between the MPC's and the Maschine. The MPC's tend to run a bit more on the pricey side and this one looked like something Apple would make but with pretty colored lights. As a beginner this made everything so much easier. Technology is crazy and it feels like cheating to use the software sometimes but whatever, I'm no musician. I've seriously been obsessed. For the last 24 I've had this thing I cancelled all my plans and basically lived in my room, it's so much fun to play with. If you are thinking about putting it in your cart but haven't made the decision yet? Cash your next paycheck in and starve for a week so can buy it. It's awesome, and for the actual pros I could see this being handy when you're wanting to make something on the go, it feels like this is all you would need ever. (Besides analog sounds that the hipsters make love to) I marked it 3 stars for easy to use because there's definitely a learning curve to the software if you're just learning a DAW and have to switch over. Those more familiar with DAWs probably have an easier time transitioning than I do, it's getting much easier though. Thanks to this handy tool. I guess I can stop taking muscle relaxers now! ## Features - Compact, music production instrument that integrates powerful software with tactile, responsive hardware - Four ways to input sound using the 16 pads – drum in pad mode, play melodies in Keyboard mode, create chord progressions in Chord mode, and program in a classic step-sequencer style from Step mode - Software - use on its own or as a VST, Audio Unit, or AAX plug-in in all major DAWs (including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and FL Studio) - 1.6 GB MASCHINE Factory Selection with samples, one-shots, loops, sample instruments, presets, patterns, drum kits, and songs - Powered via USB 2.0.

I wanted something not too expensive but something that was basic usb midi interface and has a straight bare bones interface mode. This unit was amazing! The quality is really good and the buttons are superb. It has no audio connections, you make all of that through your PC and the sound card on your PC. It has one usb cord and is powered through USB. It has two main modes. The original mode is coupled with the excellent software they provide to produce songs and rhythms. The mode I use is just pure midi interface. This unit is top notch. There is one thing, if you turn this off abruptly or your computer gets disconnected, your start up files on your PC can get corrupted. You just go on your PC and delete them, and they get remade automatically. No issues. ## Frequently Bought Together - Native Instruments Maschine Mikro Mk3 Drum Controller, 25707 - LTGEM EVA Hard Case for Native Instruments Maschine Mikro Mk3 Drum Controller - Decksaver Native Instruments Maschine Mikro Mk3 Cover --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/78097231-maschine-mikro-mk3-drum-controller-25707](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/78097231-maschine-mikro-mk3-drum-controller-25707) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
