The software
Maschine Studio introduces Native Instruments’ new Maschine 2.0 music-creation software. Within this elegant, intuitive environment, you can create rhythm grooves, sequence your virtual instruments, record samples, slice up loops, and take advantage of all of your favorite plug-in processors and effects. In addition to a slick new mixer, Maschine 2.0 gives you unlimited groups and insert effects, plus sidechaining. The tag-based visual browser and thorough integration with Native Instruments Komplete come in handy, and as a bonus, Maschine Studio even comes with four great Komplete products: Massive, Prism, Scarbee Mark I, and Solid Bus Comp.
The hardware
Maschine Studio’s hardware controller gives you direct hands-on access to all key functions, while its dedicated control buttons and jog wheel make browsing, editing, arranging, and metering quick and easy. Two high-res color displays juice your workflow by letting you clearly see patterns, waveforms, scenes, your plug-in icons, and Maschine’s powerful new mixer directly from your hardware. A built-in stand makes this hardware controller ideal for any production environment, while its onboard audio and MIDI interfaces make it the natural centerpiece of your setup.
Fluid integration
The coolest thing about Maschine Studio may be the way the hardware controller integrates with the software environment. From the controller, you can effortlessly access your entire library of instrument sounds and effects and tweak them with incredible efficiency. Whether you’re step-sequencing effects or creating completely original sounds, all of the controls you need are right at your fingertips.
With its impeccable integration of ergonomic hardware and cutting-edge software, Maschine Studio is an unbeatable groove production solution that will spark your creativity and boost your efficiency.
