(07.09.2017) Just in time for the end of the summer season, when you can get back into the studio with a good conscience, Native Instruments is updating your machine and complete control series. We had the opportunity to see the new arrivals. Here are the official press releases:
MACHINE MK3
• The classic modern production and performance system now better than ever before
• Elegant new design
• Layout was optimized based on comprehensive customer and artist surveys to enable the fastest and most intuitive workflow
• Contains a professional 96 kHz / 24 bit audio interface with stereo and microphone inputs as well as line and headphone outputs
• Larger pads make fingerdrumming even easier without losing the established feel of the MK2
• Search for sounds, edit notes or samples directly from the hardware via high-resolution color displays.
• The focus remains fully on the music and not on the computer
• Unprecedented integration with KOMPLETE and NativeControl standard (NKS) instruments, plus full VST / AU support
• New dedicated buttons for frequently used functions such as Note Input Mode, Lock, Macro and more
• 4-Dimensional Push Encoder makes browsing and navigation even easier
• New Smart Strip for a completely new feel to play: play chords like on the guitar or control MASCHINE's Perform FX
• Power supply via USB or supplied power supply
• Many other improvements and optimizations
Price: 599 Euro (identical to the MK2)
Commercially available from 5 October 2017

• 4-dimensional Push Encoder for one-handed navigation and soundbrowsing
• Enhanced layout with more dedicated buttons for the most used software features

First impression machine MK3
Perhaps the most important first: The MK3 now has its own sound card (I hear a scene applause, as one knows it from Apple presentations?). It is a simple line-in / out plus an additional microphone input and a headphone output. Thus, Native Instruments is unquestionably fulfilling a heart desire of many users. The second obvious innovation: the MK3 now also has those high-resolution color displays, which until now have only been installed in machine studio. At all, the entire layout is a whole new look. Perhaps the most obvious change is that the space between the pads has become smaller and the pads are bigger - a significant advantage in finger drumming. The former master section was also updated: Here, a single rotary push encoder (in the previous version, three potentiators) and corresponding function buttons were located here. This is followed by a touch strip, as already known from the Kontrol S series. Context-related tasks can be performed with various tasks - including pitch changes, modulations, parameter changes, notes input and arpeggios. With the new machine software, however, complete lock-state morphing of all (!) Parameters is possible. We've tried this at the presentation: it's really "gone" when a track to the break, infinitely changes its sound. I speculate that - after the omnipresent Trap-Note-Repeat Hi-Hats - the next big thing could become.
Back to Hardware: The whole look is now slimmer, more modern and much more elegant. This can be seen in details, such as the potentiometer buttons, the new typography and the considerably darker optics, but also the omission of superfluous elevations and depressions of the housing. The MK3 is only a single, angular black block. "Sharp-edged" is, by the way, to be understood in the wortinn, because the corners are really extremely pointed - I can imagine that they will be the one or other performers sometimes painfully. Obviously, the new displays in
Looks cool. I wonder when we'll see it as a stand alone.
@Shazamm did you ever get the MPC live?
nope but i will
What site is all that from is it official yet?
check the links in the video description
Just checked cheers.
This kickstarter KordBot is out now as well. Looks neat and I believe works with iPad. Check out Danny Taurus video.
I brought an mpc live last week, and it's a great combo with the iPad
I'm sharing a link to this page to Mrs Monzo, Christmas is coming...
how do you use it with your ipad
Oh maybe that means IMachine 3 is coming out soon to give a little competition to BM3? LOL JK
They really do make beautiful looking products. If only the Maschine hardware worked with the iPad, life would be Komplete.
It does have Link and midi in (iOS 11)...
MIDI out would be the thing...
Nice!!! Finally
)
Unfortunately shit evolved in the past X years
With BM3 + the new keys from iRig with I/O there's no need for maschine anymore.
I did owned a lot of MK1 & MK2s and the workflow & libraries are amazing!
Don't agree with this at all. I'm using Maschine on the desktop and the workflow is much smoother than BM3. Can't speak for the iRig, but my Mikro controller works seamlessly with my desktop software - you can browse menus, change tempo, browse instruments, control filters etc. as well as trigger drums and play instruments. And you can pick one up like mine for £80 on eBay.
BM3 is great, and there's obviously a big UI nod to Maschine evident, but it's got a way to go yet, and the iRig controller ain't cheap.
I know man, as I've said I've owned a lot (5 Maschines) but I really want portability... that's why I'm comparing them.
I'm curious how the MK3 will fit in because I have a 4m USB cable and now that I can plug my Guitar & shit directly to Maschine, it might be better. No more dangling cables throughout the room

So I guess it's official
Portability would be fine: Maschine + Laptop (plus you can edit without a controller if you wish) vs iPad + iRig I/O
Not a lot in it, particularly if the new Maschine gets a built-in audio interface, and those line-outs would be great for gigs.
I don't have the budget for any new gear this year, but the new NI controllers look incredible.
Yep! https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/production-systems/maschine/whats-new-in-mk3/
Start your preorders
$599... That is not too bad...
Edit... I do hope they update iMaschine...
Me too. The sounds in there are so good.
£479 in the U.K. The built in interface for sampling makes it a very tasty thing. Good price, be interested to see what the keyboards go for.
Keyboard details here and vid, works well with Live and Logic too. This is a stunning bit of kit, and goes straight to the top of my hardware wish list:
https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keyboards/komplete-kontrol-s49-s61/
I wonder in what way the 'improved integration with logic and cubase' will work?
The vid in my link above gives a taster. Looks really good, lots of control.
If only the keyboard had the audio interface as well....can't have everything I guess.
They said in a video that the interface is class compliant.
How cool it would be to work with the iPad. Now that Maschine has a power input also... and we have CCKs that allow you to power the ipad also.
Well it should make the screens hacker-friendly too...

What I'm really curious is if we'll receive 3.0 this fall... they did that before I think.
Would be great to see some nice audio tracks or.. time stretch
