Review: Great upgrade to the MK2. - I upgraded after a few years and some features became more desirable to me. I love the Maschine, I use it as a sketch pad for almost all my work. I love that you can use the software outside your DAW then open the same project in Ableton or any DAW as a VST and use the project for stems or midi there. I don't make use of any of the audio integration but I do often use many of the new ones like the bigger, higher quality screen, FX strip, touch encoders, and overall layout.
Review: Everything They Say and More... And More, Much 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: do got to have a intel i5 i all have amd**
A: It means an equivalent to the power of an i5, so if you're using an AMD as long as it's a Ryzen 5, 7, or 9 and not a Ryzen 3 you should be golden.

**Q: Can i use this without the native instrument piano? also does it work with fl studio?**
A: Yes you can use it without other NI instruments. It has its own DAW called Machine and workflow. Also you can use it as a plugin in fl studio. It can also be used as a midi controller.
Personally I think it's a bit complex if you use it as a plugin in other DAWs as it takes time to route the signal from its own track into your inputs.

**Q: What is the return policy?**
A: Typical 1 year manufacture warranty unless you purchase the add on coverage thru Amazon.

**Q: can you use/install software on multiple computers-i have a main desktop and laptop?**
A: According to tech support you can install on two computers.
