Coming from the traditional MPC world and being a new maschine user I can't tell you how glad I am to have waited for the MK3. The seamless workflow of the dedicated buttons makes the unit much like the MPC60 and 3000. The screens however is what makes this unit the only maschine to purchase. Once you've experienced this one, you will quickly find that no other maschine is worth the time. I havent even mentioned the fact that it also has its own audio i/o routing capabilities as well. Great Job NI!!

First i would lime to say thanks to zZounds for the chance to pay while I play.. After being out of the studio for a while and coming from outboard gear racks controllers and samplers its was a small challenge for . The idea of computer based beat making was hard for me ,but having some knowledgeof how it all working this is what I was looking for

An incredible music production tool! Been learning ins-and-outs of what this thing can do and though I feel I have only just scraped the tip on the iceberg, it's already more expansive than I could have imagined. I have not used the previous generations so I can't compare but this one is very well thought out as far as the design and ease of use. It makes it very pleasant to interact with it and spend hours and hours building and rebuilding arrangements. Also, I love all the NI sounds!!

Its a Nice Controller. It can do almost everything the studio can do with a smaller footprint. Ive always liked Maschine because of the ease of making an idea come together fast.. The MK3 works for me because i dont like the size of the studio i just liked the features. Anyone with a Maschine studio will probably use this and decide to make this their go to device.

Tell akia to move over once I got my hands on this I went crazy. This more then a controller it's a drum machine,sampler,piano, that's already set to help you with music theory. It can also be use as a midi controller. And with a little add-on program call vb audio it allows you to take sampling to a whole nother level.

The MK3 is by far the best hardware controller for track making and song creation on the market. The new updates to the actual hardware makes a huge difference in how the workflow happens with it. There is absolutely no need for a maschine studio at this point. Great job NI!

This Maschine is literally a DAW in a box. The sounds alone puts this in a class of it’s own: synths; instruments; drum kits; ethnic sounds; AND a sampler. What I appreciate the most is the workflow. You have a loop view, and an arranger view. Other companies are way behind NI, especially the one that rhymes with shAkai. Highly recommend this.( oh, the S61 compliments this perfectly.)

I would have given this product 5 STARS all around if mine didn’t arrive with a faulty display. BUYER BEWARE for Native Instruments SUPPORT is very slow in responding. zZounds clearly states that you must deal directly with NI for any problems with the unit once the manufacture seal has been broken. So if you’re used to same excellent support and responsiveness from zZounds your not gonna get it from NI. It took several days for them to respond to me after my initial trouble ticket was submitted. After about three emails to them they finally responded asking me for proof of purchase. After submitting proof of purchase and waiting for another four days I decided to contact zZounds to see if they could do anything. Magically I received an email the following day stating that the process for repairing or replacing my device would take 3 weeks. Unfortunately I have no choice but to send it to them for repair or replacement. I joined a Maschine MK3 Users group on FB and unfortunately found that Native Instruments SUPPORT doesn’t have a great reputation. So far unfortunately in my case they are living up to that reputation. Purchased my MK3 from zZounds got it in a few days now I have to send it off to Native Instruments, won’t expect it back for three weeks. Not happy.

I’ve had the original maschine. The Mikro. And the studio. They get better every release. I’ve never needed support for any defects but they are great for software related questions and well as any license support. I use it with ableton and standalone.

I hardly ever experience a creative block with this. No matter what your style or that one part of your arrangement that’s killing you or anything-the mk3 has the fix built in. That makes no mention of the added software. Sure-it takes a day to install. Go outside. It may be the last time if you’re an audiophile like me making beats till the morning.

Where to start I recently bought the mk3 and s61 on my list of reccomend or trash I would trash based off customer support is nonexistent I have been on hold a total of 3 hours in the last 2 days. Emails, instagram messages, and twitter messages to try to get in touch with anyone also went unanswered now I'm sitting here with 1500 dollars worth of instruments that are useless until I can get one type of help. Makes me wonder if MPC users go through this.

What a total waste. I hate computers, and this piece of crap HAS TO BE CONNECTED TO A COMPUTER OR IT WILL NOT WORK.DEFINITELY NOT PLUG AND PLAY! I've spent 2 hours just trying to get a sound out of this thing and because I hate computers I can't get it to work.
