![]() This is most noticeable when working with the arrange panes. NI has set up the dual screens to constantly work in tandem. In use, it’s a lot more friendly then it might appear. If you run into anyone giving you a Maschine Studio demo, at some point in the spiel, they’ll close the lid on their laptop and keep playing along like it’s a no-look pass. While not quite Retina-level resolution, it’s like staring at a pair of smartphone screens.Īnd this is where Native Instruments is hanging its hat these two little screens are supposed to supplant your computer’s. Those connections would be killer additions in a live setting - say, playing guitar and starting and stopping backing tracks with my foot - which is not what the Studio was designed for.īack to the surface, and the first thing you notice - also the fundamental difference between the older units and Studio - are the upgraded screens. Which makes me wish my MkII had more than just the 1-in/1-out MIDI interface. On the back you also get three MIDI outputs and one MIDI input as well as two footswitch connections.

It’s not as portable as my Maschine MkII, coming in at an extra 60% in total size, and an extra 50% heavier.

But recently I’ve been trying to work out how to integrate it into my band’s live show: a combination of Maschine, Ableton Live and a full band. I’ve had a Maschine MkII for a few years now, mostly using it to produce tracks and complement my Logic workflow. I was hooked it was a ‘next step’ moment for me. The buffering, the sounds, the ability to adjust entire sections without ever slowing down or having to stare at a screen seemed liberating for someone who’d always played traditional instruments. I was at a music conference watching an artist build songs completely on-the-fly, pure improvisation but with any sound at his fingertips.
