Native Instruments MASCHINE MIKRO Music Creation System at a Glance:

• Unbelievably flexible music-creation software environment
  
• Powerful hands-on hardware controller
  
• The ever-evolving world of MASCHINE

Unbelievably flexible music-creation software environment
Looping, slicing, step sequencing, MPC-style recording, scene sequencing - it's all possible with Native Instruments' MASCHINE environment! Run MASCHINE as a plug-in in your favorite DAW, or run it in standalone mode and use it to host your favorite VST and AU plug-ins. What's more, MASCHINE MIKRO comes loaded with the same 6GB content library that comes with MASCHINE. That means MASCHINE MIKRO gives you the same amazing effects, samples, and virtual instrument content as its big brother, including NIS sound format browsing, for total integration with KOMPLETE 8.

Powerful hands-on hardware controller
MASCHINE's claim to fame extends beyond its powerhouse sampling and sequencing software. Tight hardware integration makes using MASCHINE an incredible tactile experience. MASCHINE MIKRO gives you much of this same hardware integration as MASCHINE, but in a smaller, more streamlined format. What's great is that Native Instruments gave MASCHINE MIKRO a complete set of navigation and function controls, as well as a full-sized set of pads, so even though it's smaller than the original MASCHINE controller, you still get an amazing hands-on experience.

The ever-evolving world of MASCHINE
Whether they're software-based or standalone hardware, most music creation systems remain largely unchanged oncer they've been released - but not MASCHINE! Since the launch of MASCHINE, Native Instruments has released several major upgrades, including advanced sampling functions, VST and AU plug-in hosting, and NIS sound format browsing. The latest update enables MASCHINE MIKRO to fully integrate with Native Instruments KOMPLETE 8, which features a categorical browser that allows you to quickly find your favorite Native Instrument sounds - even if you have the massive KOMPLETE 8 ULTIMATE library!
