Everything is intuitively controllable via the fully integrated hardware - once you touch the tactile controller the fun and intuitive workflow takes over, allowing you to stay focused on what matters - the music.
Here it is, next-generation design, multi-colored pads, timestretching capabilities, and more.Īll in all, the New MASCHINE from Native Instruments is the same highly gratifying instrument that it's always been, combining pattern-based sequencing, professional sampling, multi-effect units, and a VST/AU plug-in host, but now with even more style and functionality. For now read the leaked details in full below. Native Instruments promises a full announcement later today we'll update you with more news and images when we have it. Interestingly, it seems the full version of NI's hugely-popular plug-in synth Massive will now ship with Maschine as standard. The leaked specs reveal a number of usability improvements and new Transient Master and Tape and Tube Saturator effects.
While the control surface is labelled MKII, the accompanying software is billed simply as version 1.8 - implying no major overhaul at that end. Other major additions include full control of timestretching and pitch shifting of samples direct from the hardware, improved displays and the addition of 47 click buttons. Visually, the most obvious addition over version one is the ability to assign vibrant colour coding to each of the hardware's 16 pads - a feature that will only enhance the unit's appeal as a live performance instrument for electronic musicians.
