Integrating the flexibility of computer-based music production with the
hands-on creative clout of MPC*-style hardware, MASCHINE is the next
step in beat production. Once you touch the hugely playable controller,
the slick, intuitive and immensely fun workflow takes over, allowing you
to stay focused on what matters - the groove. MASCHINE's blending of
classic feel and cutting edge makes it the perfect tool used on its own,
performing in the club, or working within your DAW. And now with the
free 1.5 update for MASCHINE users, groove production goes to the next
level.
Incorporating the iconic strengths of the MPC, including the intuitive
pad layout, 16 velocity levels, Note Repeat and the ability to import
MPC* files, MASCHINE then breaks free of hardware-only limitations. Its
supreme workflow means you can go from a rough sketch to professional
production in no time.
The easy-to-arrange sequencer, intuitive sampling, re-sampling and
slicing features, and fully integrated FX and automation keep you on top
of your production. Plenty of deluxe sample ammunition is provided via a
staggering 6 GB of drums, synths, percussion, strings loops and more,
and you can easily hook up your existing gear to MASCHINE - it finds a
home in any setup.
MASCHINE's immense versatility means it also excels when working with
your existing studio set up. Need to freshen up an idea from your DAW?
Open MASCHINE inside your project and sequence some beats. Got a good
groove flowing in MASCHINE? Drag and drop sections, loops or full tracks
directly into your DAW as either audio or MIDI. Add professional
effects and processing directly from the hardware controller for full
control over your sound. Combined with MASCHINE's vast library of kits
and loops, many of which have been prepared by renowned beat-makers,
artists and sound designers, and you have a powerhouse capable of
revolutionizing your studio productions.
Set MASCHINE loose in a club or live environment and it'll tear the
joint up with its heavyweight punch. Its super-sturdy build, premium
pads and knobs are perfect for performing in uncompromising conditions,
and with the complete visual feedback provided by the screens and
backlit buttons, MASCHINE thrives free of mouse and keyboard control.
Use MASCHINE live as a solo instrument for performing your own
productions, or sync it up with other gear with the minimum of fuss.
What's more, you can instantly switch into MIDI mode and use it as a
controller for any other software - such as the tightly integrated
TRAKTOR PRO DJ software. Perform with MASCHINE once, and you'll never
leave home without it again.
