**Besitze seit dem 7. November 2024 | 5 von 5 Sternen** **Pro:** - Hervorragende Integration in FL Studio und Apollo Twin X - Hochwertige, druckempfindliche Pads - Integrierte Audio-Interface mit 24-bit/96kHz - Dual-Display für erweiterte Kontrolle ohne Bildschirm **Kontra:** - Etwas steile Lernkurve für Neueinsteiger - Kein integrierter Akku für mobilere Einsätze --- Die Native Instruments Maschine MK3 ist seit dem 7. November 2024 ein zentraler Bestandteil meines Musikproduktions-Setups, und ich bin absolut begeistert von diesem vielseitigen Trommelregler. Als Nutzer von FL Studio und einem Apollo Twin X Interface suchte ich nach einem Controller, der sich nahtlos in mein bestehendes Setup integrieren lässt und meine kreativen Möglichkeiten erweitert – und die Maschine MK3 liefert genau das. **Integration und Workflow**: Die Maschine MK3 integriert sich hervorragend in FL Studio, sei es als VST-Plugin oder als MIDI-Controller. Die Möglichkeit, die MK3 sowohl als Hardware-Controller als auch als Software-Instrument zu nutzen, erlaubt mir, mühelos zwischen Beatmaking und Sounddesign zu wechseln, ohne meinen kreativen Flow zu unterbrechen. Die Integration mit meinem Apollo Twin X war ebenfalls reibungslos – das eingebaute Audio-Interface der MK3, das mit 24-bit/96kHz arbeitet, ergänzt mein Setup perfekt und spart wertvollen Platz auf meinem Schreibtisch. **Hardware und Bedienung**: Die druckempfindlichen Pads der Maschine MK3 sind eine Freude zu spielen. Sie reagieren extrem präzise und ermöglichen es mir, mit beiden Händen komplexe Rhythmen und Melodien einzuspielen. Besonders beeindruckend finde ich die Dual-Displays, die es mir ermöglichen, viele Aufgaben direkt am Gerät zu erledigen, ohne ständig auf den Computerbildschirm schauen zu müssen. Ob ich Samples durchsuche, Effekte anwende oder MIDI-Noten bearbeite – alles funktioniert direkt und intuitiv über die farbigen Displays. **Kleiner Wermutstropfen**: Obwohl die Maschine MK3 ein mächtiges Werkzeug ist, erfordert sie eine gewisse Einarbeitungszeit, besonders für Neueinsteiger in die Musikproduktion. Zudem fehlt ein integrierter Akku, was die Mobilität einschränkt, aber da ich hauptsächlich im Studio arbeite, stört mich das kaum. Alles in allem hat die Native Instruments Maschine MK3 meine Erwartungen voll erfüllt. Sie ist ein robustes, vielseitiges und inspirierendes Werkzeug für jeden Produzenten, egal ob professionell oder Hobbyist. Besonders für FL Studio-Nutzer mit einem Fokus auf Live-Performance und detaillierte Klangbearbeitung ist sie eine ausgezeichnete Wahl. Absolute Kaufempfehlung! Read more

This and the S series keyboards are the centre of my studio now it’s very very steep learning curve and the manual might as well be written in a foreign language. It doesn’t make sense. However after spending days and days watching YouTube tutorials. The learning curve is after 20 years of using a linear DAW it is rather different. I thought it wouldn’t be for me at all as I am a professional pianist. I’m not interested in hitting pads but it is a really refreshing change. Read more

The latest incarnation of NI's Maschine, the Mk3 is an extraordinarily powerful music production and performance device. It comes with a ton of software that runs on Mac or Windows, but can also operate without a computer, downloading (with some planning) what it needs in advance. I'm not going to write about the solid construction, beautiful screens, abundance of buttons, the wonderful pads or the superb touch encoders, or the 96kHz audio interface that let's it record, for example, from line level or dynamic mics (no 48V, so condensers can't be used, at least not without a separate power supply). I'm not going to talk about the well designed Mac interface, or the powerful synths and mastering tools that are part of the Komplete 12 Select package. Every review I've read or watched talked about them. I'm going to talk about the 717 page PDF manual that comes with Maschine, and what it means for the user. To begin with, the massive size of the manual means that there's a lot more to Maschine MK3 than you can learn in a dozen 15 minute videos. As I said, Maschine is meant to function as both a composition and a performance tool, though it clearly leans toward the composing/beatmaking side. While NI has done a brilliant job of making the user interface both logical and reasonably intuitive, the fact that you feel comfortable after 20 minutes of messing around will lead many into thinking they've mastered Maschine after a few weeks use. Don't be misled: You will be doing yourself and Maschine a disservice if you fall into this way of thinking. There's a lot more to Maschine. It's not just a beatmaker, that of course incorporates a superb multi-voice arpeggiator and sequencer. It's a competent sampler, a powerful mastering tool, a competent midi controller, all carried by powerful capabilities to control both built in and stored plug-ins and to use them in a variety of roles. By the way, the manual is not for the Komplete Select package - it covers only the built in plug-ins. If you want a tutorial or manual, for example, on the well known Massive synth plug in, you have to look back to NI's website. You can add Maschine to your workflow within days of opening the box. In one sense, it's that easy to use. I know it'a going to be central to my workflow within a month or two. On the other hand, I think it going to be much longer before I've really mastered all that Maschine offers. It's not that there's anything wrong with Maschine, it's just that it is that comprehensive and capable. Read more

I decided to splurge and I am so thankful I did. This thing is great. It does take a day or two to get used to basic features (and a month to really appreciate everything this thing can do!), but the videos from Native Instruments and the community (look up Jeff Gibbons on YouTube for some great tutorials and inspiration) are super helpful and can get you going really quickly. Pads feel great. Menu and screens are awesome and rather intuitive for moving around and selecting your sounds. Switches easily from pads to keyboard to chords and has a great key selection with Major, minor and modes plus extensions so you don’t have to worry if you’re not overly advanced at music theory. If this is your first controller or experience with Native Instruments, know that this comes with a great suite of initial instruments and sounds plus Ableton Live Lite (which I started on and pushed me down the rabbit hole of music production). Anyways, cannot recommend enough if you are looking for a pad based controller. It has more features than I have been able to wrap my head around so far, and I don’t think I will EVER outgrow its uses or capabilities. Read more
