Though there’s no built-in audio interface, mixing is improved by the Studio hardware as well. Maschine Studio makes use of NI’s new Maschine 2.0 software, and the GUI switches between what’s now known as the “Arrange” and “Mix” views. Arranging and sequencing patterns can now be done without looking at your computer screen at all the left display provides an overview of the scenes and patterns in the timeline, while a closer, more detailed view populates the right display, ordered by name and color. Browsing through your library of Native Instruments sounds is much improved, with the various knobs and screens used to dial in on the style of sound you want by filtering through tags. The larger size now accommodates two OLED displays, marking a big step beyond NI’s previous controller screens. The immediacy of MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 doesn't get in the way of your creative process, it nurtures it.In many ways, Maschine Studio feels like using a classic drum machine workstation (read: ASR, MPC, EPS, etc). It's all here, you get a powerful mixer, arranger, and sampler for full creative control over your tracks, blended with classic groovebox features including 16 pad velocity levels, swing, pad link, note repeat, step sequencer, and vintage MPC60/SP1200 sampling emulation. MACHINE MIKRO MK3 comes equipped with the same software as MASCHINE MK3, MASCHINE STUDIO and MASCHINE JAM, including 25 pro-quality studio and creative FX including filters, EQ, delays, reverbs, and compressors. Use it on its own or as a VST, Audio Unit, or AAX plug-in in all major DAWs (including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and FL Studio).

MASCHINE MIKRO MK3's seamlessly integrates powerful software with tactile, responsive hardware for a powerhouse production ecosystem that rivals other pad controllers. Other enhanced features include the added dual-touch Smart Strip that lets you slide your fingers to strum instruments and manipulate sounds instinctively, as well as an OLED display and push encoder for browsing, navigating, adjusting volume levels and panning, and controlling parameters. One of the first, and most striking new updates to notice are the 16 large, velocity-sensitive pads that have been increased in size from the previous version and are more responsive than ever before, making it easier for two handed finger drumming and a more pleasant playing experience overall. Keeping in line with the recent overhaul of MASCHINE MK3, this new MIKRO has a completely updated look and feel with a number of features taken directly from its bigger brother. A mini beatmaker with massive workflow enhancements, MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 is the perfect entry to the MASCHINE groove production family.
