The Maschine combines the flexibility of computer-based music
production with the ease of a groove box into one powerful creative
tool - comes loaded with over 5 GB of production-ready sounds and
patterns. Utilizing onboard samples or your own audio files, MASCHINE’s symbiosis of hardware and software not only ensures a fast and fun workflow, but lets you easily turn your ideas into professional productions.
Inspiring Sound
MASCHINE comes loaded with over 5 GB of production-ready sounds and patterns. Everything from fat drum kits to state-of-the-art synthesizer sounds and pristine acoustic instruments have been sampled, sliced and tagged for your convenience. MASCHINE also features studio quality effects ranging from dynamics processors to beat-mashers and even mastering tools, all tweakable in real time via the hardware controller.

Go Deep
MASCHINE's pattern-oriented concept frees you from the limits of linear arrangement. Build song "scenes" by layering patterns, and
re-arrange the scenes on the fly. MASCHINE offers external sampling
through your computer’s audio interface as well as internal re-sampling, precise editing and slicing, auto-mapping, effects and an ultra-convenient browser – all perfectly attuned to the hardware
controller.
Complete Control
The MASCHINE hardware is both instrument and controller in one.
Sixteen illuminated, velocity-sensitive pads form an interface to
intuitively make beats, tweak sounds, create patterns and sequence
whole songs with the powerful MASCHINE software. Two large,
high-resolution displays with eight corresponding rotary encoders,
buttons, and transport controls integrate perfectly with the MASCHINE
software.
Go With The Flow
MASCHINE unifies and vastly improves on familiar groove production
workflows. Using the MASCHINE hardware controller you can jam out ideas
in a pattern-oriented environment, and use them as the building blocks
to create your track within MASCHINE. New samples, loops, effects or
arrangements can be added, edited and tweaked in the same intuitive
way, utilizing the ultra-convenient hardware interface.
