MASCHINE FAQ

No. MASCHINE is designed for extremely tight integration between hardware and software. While you can run the MASCHINE software without the hardware connected, it is an integrated system that combines the hands-on performance of an instrument with the power of software. At this time, we have no plans to offer the software separately.
MASCHINE was designed together with the MASCHINE software as an integrated system. This gives you the best of both worlds – making use of the latest computer technology while offering the intuitive tactile control of hardware.
MASCHINE works as a VST, Audio Units, or AAX plug-in in all major DAWs (Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, GarageBand, FL Studio, Pro Tools, PreSonus Studio One, and more). This lets you open several instances of the MASCHINE and toggle between them from one controller. You can also use the MASCHINE hardware to control transport functions like play, record, and stop – or use MIDI to map controls to your DAW’s key functions.
Yes. The built-in 96 kHz / 24-bit audio interface has everything you need: 2 x ¼” TRS line outputs, 2 X ¼” TRS line inputs, ¼” dynamic mic input, headphone output, MIDI in/out. See the full audio specifications here.
Yes. You can record internal and external audio via MASCHINE’s audio interface input directly in real time (e.g. sample a drum loop or bass line), then slice and auto map the slices to pads for further arranging and remixing.
Yes. You can stretch samples to a specific BPM and shift to a specific pitch. BPM auto detection makes it easy to change tempo without losing the beat. It can also time stretch the sample to a specific length (e.g. 1 bar).
MASCHINE MK3’s built-in audio interface includes a stereo headphone output and two mono outputs – or right and left channel for stereo output. The MASCHINE 2 software provides 16 stereo outputs. These can be routed within a host sequencer when using MASCHINE as a plug-in, or through your computer's audio interface if it has enough of physical outputs. Plus, every individual sound and group in MASCHINE 2 has one main bus and two aux busses, allowing you to also make efficient use of outboard equipment.

To route audio to individual channels in your DAW, please watch the following Knowledge Base videos:

You can import MIDI files, iMaschine projects, AIFF and WAV audio files, and REX 2 files including their slicing information. MASCHINE also offers import for MPC 500/1000/2000(XL)/2500/3000/4000 programs.
You can export audio files in 16-, 24- and 32-bit depth, as well as MIDI files.
