NATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Native Instruments Maschine+ Standalone Production System
Maschine+: Standalone Beatmaking Powerhouse
MASCHINE has become a staple for music makers around the world combining cutting edge software with it's fast, hardware-based workflow. Today, NI have taken Maschine into a new era.
Native Instruments MASCHINE+ combines all of the key elements it's known for - together with some of the most iconic sounds from KOMPLETE - in a powerful standalone instrument. An immersive, standalone groovebox for production and performance, MASCHINE+ offers a fast, intuitive workflow for control over sampling, synthesis, and effects, plus premium sounds from Native Instruments.
MASCHINE+ adds complete independence to an already fast and flexible approach to music making. Musicians can plug in, power up, and sketch beats in seconds, as well as develop ideas into performance-ready pieces with arranging and mixing tools - both with or without a computer.
It provides the same powerful sequencing, sampling, and synthesis NI is known for, with endless options for integrating outboard gear across a broad range of styles and setups. On stage, MASCHINE Plus provides expressive, hands-on standalone control over every element in a performance, with both high impact macros and in-depth tweaking just a knob twist away.
18 instruments, 37 effects, and thousand of sounds on board
Along with its classic groovebox workflow, MASCHINE+ also includes MASCHINE+ Selection: A dedicated package of 18 synths and sampled instruments, 37 effects, and 8 Expansions (including 2 of your own choosing) that all work seamlessly in standalone mode. This includes heavy-hitters like MASSIVE, FM8, MONARK, PRISM, the MASCHINE Factory Selection, PHASIS, RAUM, DRUMLAB, and ETHEREAL EARTH - which means those 16 pads can sound like a dusty vintage drumkit, a warped wavetable lead, an organic modal synth, or pretty much anything you can imagine when flexing your sound design skills.Every instrument and effect in MASCHINE+ Selection has been optimized to make the system’s standalone workflow smooth and seamless, and users can expand their sound libraries with a wide array of Native’s Expansions, as well as their own samples via SD and USB storage.
Under the hood
Maschine+ is powered by a Intel Atom Quad core chip running at 1.6GHz and is running a Linux based OS. Plans for the future allow for connectivity to other Maschine+ units via WIFI and NI are working on third party hardware integrations via USB.
