The MASCHINE Groove Production Studio from Native
Instruments combines the flexibility of computer-based music production
with the ease of a groove box into one powerful creative tool.
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.
MASCHINE
comes loaded with over 5GB 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. It 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.
The
pattern-oriented concept of MACHINE frees you from the limits of linear
arrangement. Build song scenes by layering patterns, and re-arrange the
scenes on the fly. It 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.
The MASCHINE
hardware is both instrument and controller in one. 16 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.
MASCHINE unifies
and vastly improves on familiar groove production workflows. Using the
its 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.
