The result is a Maschine that's more portable and more affordable: the Maschine Mikro. Not content with resting on their laurels (or indeed any aromatic shrubs), Native Instruments have recently revisited Maschine's hardware to indulge in a spot of careful pruning. Yet arguably it was its software's ability to host third-party plug-ins - instruments and effects - that raised it above other self-contained grooveboxes. Positioned somewhere between the tactile experience of an Akai MPC and the flexibility offered by Ableton Live, the Maschine arrived stocked with a wealth of original sounds. Just two years have elapsed since Native Instruments launched their Maschine, and already this partnership of controller and software feels ubiquitous. Mouse-free, wallet-friendly groove production is the order of the day as Native Instruments miniaturise their Maschine.
