Major Groove Production Software & Hardware Combo!

With the Native Instruments Maschine groove production software and controller, you've got the undeniable vibe of working with a hardware drum machine, combined with the virtually unlimited creative potential software provides. Whether you're sampling and slicing beats from vinyl, creating electronic remixes, or performing live, Maschine is awesome to work with. You've got 16 velocity-sensitive, color-coded pads for triggering sounds and patterns. And you've got nine knobs for realtime control of virtually any parameter in the Maschine software - it's the ideal way to combine hardware control over software.

Maschine works standalone, when you just want to get some grooves going or want to incorporate them into your live performances. Maschine also works as a VST, AU, and RTAS plug-in, so it's compatible with all your favorite pieces of software. It also gives you total integration with Native Instruments' Komplete 8 plug-ins, allowing you to browse sounds and effects settings for all of your Native Instruments products, right from the hardware interface. And with over 6GB of drums, instruments, loops, and even a full version of NI's Massive software synthesizer, you'll be amazed at what you can do with Maschine as soon as you get your hands on it.
