The Maschine studio was significantly bigger than that of the previous Mk1 and Mk2 and designed to sit over them in the product range.
MASCHINE MIKRO MK1 ABLETON LIVE 9.6 SOFTWARE
In 2013, Native Instruments released Maschine Studio, a premium version of the hardware controller, bundled with Maschine 2.0 software – a complete re-write which featured a highly sought after multi-track mixer for each group. “Maschine is the best example of a hybrid software‑and‑controller instrument I’ve seen,” – Sound On Sound Magazine. It was met with an incredibly positive response. At the time, hybrid packages were a product class in its infancy and Maschine was amongst the first to have a ground-up software package built alongside the hardware. The software had the ability to be able to host 3 rd party software instruments and fx plugins that could still be controlled by the hardware, something that would really raise it above anything else on the market.
The hardware had no ability to generate sounds, rather it was used to control/record/play and program sounds that came with the software and 5GB sample library included with Maschine. The concept was to take the tactile free-flowing production style of hardware instruments like Akai’s MPC range and add the benefits of powerful computer‑based processing. The controller had 16 backlit velocity sensitive pads and the design layout mimicked similar sampler models that were popular among the hip-hop and electronic music community through the late ‘80s and ‘90s. Maschine MK1 was introduced back in 2009 with software version 1.0 and offered an integrated hybrid hardware/software beat production system.
