THE PRESS ON MASCHINE

“Maschine MK3 is a fantastic if not essential upgrade. The fabulous displays still look like ‘the future’, the Smart Strip is well worth having, and the iterative refinements throughout feel like a substantial evolutionary progression.”

“Maschine MK3 is excellent. Native Instruments could simply have added some color screens and be done with it, but they’ve achieved something much more difficult: improving a classic without losing the essence of what made the original it so great.”

"This is an excellent and versatile tool that can be used equally well in the studio, on the go or live and most importantly, is a fun and inspirational device for music creation. Highly recommended!"
