Reviews of MASCHINE

 
 

MusicRadar

"More than just a drum machine, Maschine represents a whole new world for hands-on beat makers. Maschine is always loads of fun to play, and as a self-contained instrument is capable of producing a huge range of tracks - from big, fat, lazy hip hop jams, to intricate and futuristic techno."
Winner of the "All New Product of the Year" Award

Electronic Musician

"Maschine is a ton of fun. Its form and function are purely inspiring to work with. Native Instruments has successfully unified and vastly improved the familiar groove-production workflows. As perhaps the
ultimate groove instrument, Maschine bridges the gap between the familiarity and reliability of highly integrated hardware control and the boundless sonic flexibility that software affords."
Electronic Musician, US, 07/2009

 

Sound On Sound

"Maschine shows that fast, hands-on, musical workflow is not the preserve of stand-alone hardware boxes."

DJ Mag

"It's given me some of the most fun I've had with a piece of hardware for a while. It's great for building up grooves, acts like the best drum sample browser I've ever seen, can work as a live or studio tool and it fits perfectly in my bag. Awesome!"

iDJ

"Maschine makes it very easy to get your groove on and should inspire a new generation of producers. The key to this product is intuitiveness - if only all production tools were this easy to use."

Computer Music

"It's everything that's great about old-school grooveboxes in a thoroughly new-school package, and it offers more sheer fun factor than we can remember having with anything else we've ever plugged into a computer."

"Maschine is a powerful piece of software bundled with a superb controller. The two work together seamlessly and it truly feels like a proper instrument. Plus, it is tons of fun to work with!"

Future Music

"Maschine is a great synergy of hard and software and it's an impressive start for a new way to make music."

"Future Music" UK, 04/2009

 

Harmony Central

"Making beats is fun, and Maschine loves to make beats. Sure, it will do plenty of other tricks, but ultimately, it's all about hitting pads and making cool sounds. I'm in!"

InTheMix

"Maschine is everything I hoped it would be and more. The build quality is excellent and the package is a versatile and well-integrated whole.
Maschine pulls together a range of complicated ideas and powerful tools into a very easy-to-use and, most importantly, very fun way to make music."
