Maschine +

Play and sequence outboard gear and capture the results, or manipulate external audio in real time with effects. MASCHINE+ can control, mix, and manipulate the rest of your setup with MIDI, line, and mic inputs to bring everything together instantly. And if you want to work with a computer, it doubles up as a classic MASCHINE controller too.

MASCHINE+ is Wi-Fi enabled, which means you can install new sounds, instruments, and effects at the touch of a button, without a computer in sight. When it comes to jamming with others or playing out live, keep in sync with other music apps, DAWs, and compatible gear with Ableton Link.

Go from drumming patterns to playing melodies, sequencing synths, and one-touch chords in a snap.

Hit the lock button, go wild with effects, tweaks, and more, before hitting it again to reset your tweaks for dynamic transitions.

Touch a knob, assign your favorite parameter, and get tweaking.

Big, easy to find, and great for fills or arpeggios when sketching ideas or performing live.

Program accents and ghost notes quickly with 16 fixed velocity levels or get a smooth, constant volume when triggering samples.

Essential transport functions, as well as mute control are a click away.

Dial in effects and modulation, touch to browse tags when searching for the right sound, or get hands-on with macro controls when performing. Context-sensitive touch encoders keep tweaking quick, and sound sculpting hands-on.

Small but mighty, the Smart Strip can be used for the classic pitch modulation you’d find on a keyboard, as well as modulating other controls, an expressive way to use Perform FX, and to strum chords and samples like a guitar for both effective realism and left-field creations.

From crate-digging treasures to vocals and field recordings, sampling is ingrained in MASCHINE’s DNA. Hook up your sound source, enter the sampling mode, and stretch, chop, or loop audio in a matter of seconds.

Take ideas, mix them up, swap them about, and structure your tracks straight from MASCHINE+. Song Mode is great for building the final structure for a track, or for working out ways to progress a live set.

Two collections full to the brim with innovative, cutting-edge sound that work seamlessly in standalone mode. REAKTOR Factory Selection packs innovative synths born in our DSP lab, including SPACE DRONE, NEWSCOOL, and LAZERBASS. KONTAKT Factory Selection includes a huge variety of sampled instruments that span a wide range of genres, styles and sounds.

Nine engines deliver powerful low end, with a broad sweet spot. Four are based on classic analog machines – fat, punchy, deep, dusty, and everything in between. The other five take care of realistic acoustic sounds.

Thick, harsh, bold, deep, filtered – create any electronic or acoustic snare you like. Choose from nine engines, plus a dedicated acoustic and electronic clap engine.

From classic analog to robotic digital sounds, three engines take care of the full range of hi-hat sounds. Add a few quick tweaks to take things beyond into new creative territory.

Three engines doing digital and acoustic duties, with everything from bell-like sounds, to warm, fat, and completely alien toms. Added control over pitch bend and advanced parameters give you total flexibility.

Three engines, no limits. The fractal engine delivers electronic percussion, from bell-like and metallic to sub-heavy and twisted. The shaker engine gives you acoustic shakers and maracas, and the kettle engine offers rich, resonant timpani.

The Crash engine delivers everything from a 909-esque crash to more acoustic-sounding cymbals. The Ride engine can be adjusted to sound as if the cymbal is being struck on its edge or bell.

An analog-modeled High, Low, and Band-pass filter capable of yielding raw, natural-sounding results using saturation and resonance. Roll off the highs for a thick, murky veil, or use the resonance to create sounds that float into self-oscillation infinity.

A comb filter effect with more than a few tricks up its sleeve. Get performance-ready flanger or phaser effects, or expose its wild side – setting higher decay and frequency values unleashes ping-pong delay-like flutter effects.

A warm, versatile echo with plenty of character, designed for spontaneous splashes of echo. Strong, responsive attacks that taper off into hazy trails are perfect for dub and can also be tweaked for more extreme sound design.

A complex resonant echo with advanced feedback and saturation that verge on psychedelic tendencies. Echoes range from a tight, punchy resonant hum to ambiguous howling sounds from another dimension.

Built on a carefully selected bank of ring modulators, Ring adds a bell-like quality to melodic sound sources. Using the additional plate reverb, tweak a knob or Smart Strip to hand-pick individual notes and keep them ringing into the stratosphere.

Turn the intensity up, and down again with Stutter. This beat-mangling effect adds creative dynamics like glitches, fills, and expressive pitch-bending crescendos to drum patterns and more.

A no-frills tremolo and vibrato effect that’s perfect for creating motion and wobble on the fly. Instantly add expression with multiple modes, Rate, and Depth ranges, and use the Stereo knob to create auto-pan motion effects.

Scratcher warps your sounds with turntable motion effects that can get other-worldly. Apply a ‘brake’ to a sound, then scratch with it – just like on vinyl. Or use the pitch shifter delay to thicken the sound and create alien-sounding sweeps

Inspired by a legendary bus compressor from a famous British console. Delivers power and punch without sacrificing clarity.
