I just bought the Maschine Mikro MK3 and the Komplete A25 for $350 for both out the door at Guitar Center (had a sale and I could not pass it up). Thought about the A49, but in the end, if I need more keys, Ill use my LaunchKey or MAudio. I got these because my desk space is a premium and the size of both of them next together is perfect.
Definitely looking at this, as it is a DAW and a box in one for cheaper than most DAWs. So far I am only using Ableton live lite, as I do not need a whole bunch of tracks. Think it is going to be a perfect combo for a more minimalist setup and production. Would be great to go for the bigger versjon tho for the interface and connections, but that would be for a later time.
I have seen upwards of 10 to 11 reviews on the Mikro MK3 and this was far and away the best. While I won’t be buying the Mikro, because I have the Maschine MK3... I now am comfortable making recommendations to my peers based on this comprehensive review. Ty 🙏🏽
I bought Komplete Kontrol M32 couple a days ago and was experiencing the Maschine 2 software for the first time, i was pleasantly surprised. My next buy will be Maschine MK3 for sure!
This thing is PERFECTLY priced. I’m getting one based on what I’ve been doing with the very limited iMaschine on iPad. The sound packs KNOCK!!!! Looks like the perfect combination of stand-alone(even though it’s not) and DAW-like you say. Still a shame there’s no iPad integration with iMaschine-even though iMaschine projects export right to Maschine desktop.
Coming in on the ground floor! I've been researching and I think I'm going to snatch this up. Being a musician its hard to get the whole band together to get ideas and workflows down. Having this will help keep the creative ideas flowing, keeping the band from being dependent on a piece that's missing from a practice or rehearsal. I heard the learning curve can be tough not sure if thats true? However, I'm up for the challenge to keep the music flowing. God Bless thanks for the Video..
Just bought one of these used from a friend who didn’t care for it. He is an advanced user, while I beginning to learn production and daw stuff. My friend told me I should probably get an Akai MPC, however he sold this to me for 70$plus I had to buy the software license for 69$.
I should've watched this before I purchased the Maschine Mikro Mk3, however, this video provided great value and confirmed that I most certainly made the right choice regardless! This beautiful device got me highly interest in getting the flagship as well for the home studio while the Mikro is used anywhere I travel to. Thank you!
As a beginner I'm totally getting the Maschine Mikro MK3. Maschine seems way more user friendly than Abelton. For someone who just wants to learn the basics of beat making and add to my DJ development I think this is just what I'm looking for!! 👍👍
I’m debating if I should get this or not. I learned beatmaking on FL studio and do just fine with a midi keyboard. This seems like an extra step having to patch and learning how to do everything
I know I'm late but the main difference between the Mikro Mk3 and just using a daw with a midi keyboard is how fun the Mikro mk3 can be. it's so versatile and easy once you get the hang of it, that it is almost as if you are learning a brand new instrument. I am getting the Mikro mk3 and hopefully, I can have some fun with it.
Great video. I should be receiving the Mikro 3 today and can't wait to dive into the whole Maschine software and start learning the software & creating beats. I was torn between purchasing the MK3 or purchasing the Mikro MK3 and I decided I would take baby steps & buy the Mikro MK3 which is a steal in my opinion for the cost, design, included software , and portability of the Mikro 3 as well as the ability to use the Maschine software as a VST inside FL Studio. Thank you for posting the links to help out us FL users. On a separate note, do you have a contact or someone that can shed some light on the Musecrate/veterans charity for hurricaine relief efforts? As a veteran I assumed this was a great opportunity to help and take part in a worthwhile charitable event but it seems as though the main people who set this in motion or what not has ghosted on us. If you have any new info could you let me know what's up with the big event and musecrate.
I dived into the NI world head first and grabbed the MK3 after comparing it to the Mikro. I’m a studio producer though and don’t travel too much. I was pleasantly surprised at how intuitive the maschine workflow is. Very happy with my purchase and I plan to pick up the MK3 Mikro and start getting mobile.
Can you use this chord mode to play the session guitarist electric sunburst or even shreddage 3 Stratus? Or would I be better off with a kontrol mk2? Cos I'm more of a beat man but love guitar even though I can't play you know?
Recently, bought used MK3 and Mikro from a retailer with return policy to see what each truly had to offer. At a fourth of the price, if the Mikro could satisfy my needs (have an MK1 but it got obsoleted). Story short, it does. What I came down to is: I'm not looking for Maschine to be any kind of centerpiece of music production but a way to add percussion to my songs in a DAW. So in that, I like the scaled down look of Mikro as the screens and the extra group buttons can look a bit much in a studio that isn't dominated by Vegas mode instruments.
Maschine is fantastic !! Thanks Marques I got an mk3 after seeing your videos.. I used reason 2.5 back in the day ..long hiatus..now I'm back to music making and maschine is just exhilarating to work with !!
I know I’m kinda late to the party, but I was doing some research on TH-cam for both Maschine controllers, and after watching your video, in which you clearly and thoroughly explain the differences, I purchased the Mikro version. It will suit me just fine for what I need. And I’m now a subscriber to your channel! Keep the great work bro 👍🏻
Love the video as always! There's unfortunately no midi mode for Mikro MK3... Let's hope it'll come in a later date though! I agree that this is a better fit for producers on the run or software based producers. Great video again man!
No Midi mode is a deal breaker. The only way you can use it with other daw right now is to use maschine as a vst. They should be more up front about it. Their help page is still saying that all their controllers can be used in midi mode while it's no longer true.
I recently got to know that Mikro MK3 will get MIDI mode soon. This has been officially confirmed on the NI forums. So yeah, good news for everyone interested in Mikro MK3, including me! I won't be able to get it until December though. Hopefully MIDI mode would have been added by then. :)
Kaitav Sapre Will they release a version that supports midi mode(same verision but updated hardware) or will the current users have to update their firmware by downloading a software from their website or something?
Big Soulja This version will get midi functionality in a future firmware update. They haven’t announced when this will happen but you don’t need to replace the hardware or anything.... It’s just a normal waiting game from now :)
Thank you, this was a great tutorial for the introductory into the maschines world. I've been subscribed to your channel for a couple of years now and you are the best.
I have an old maschine mark 1 and a maschine jam(both currently in storage). I always liked the pads on my maschine but never evolved past using my computer and Ableton mostly and using a few of the functions. This seems perfect for my current setup.I have a ton of NI stuff already so this will already work with it. My mark 1 was struggling with all the new functions that have been added over the years so this might’ve just the right thing.
ACID Music Studio OMG finally I found some one talking about that XD actually that is the only DAW I bought, sadly that doesn't support control surface so you can't use many things on the MIDI devices, I bought an Oxygen Pro 61 because that can send keyboard short-cuts on the pads to compensate that limitation on ACID Music Studio. I'm interested because that will be a nice pair with my M32
I have the Maschine Studio and am looking to preserve desktop space. I have not used it in several years after getting the S61 keyboard. Being that the MK3 is designed for greater mobility even though it requires wall power electricity, I’m more likely to use it than the Maschine Studio. I’m hesitant to sell any gear too lol 😂. Thanks for sharing your video! 🏆🎯🥊
Essentially, it was a way to get the software for me. Massive is $150 itself...... I have a full size MK2 I got used but no license so as a MIDI Controller only it wasn’t impressive. Both may go 3 months from now or I may be a CONVERT! Anything that makes life easier in Studio I LOVE
Sorry for the delay, I just got to this video. To be honest, I am new to hardware beat making. Like you I produced one album under my pseudo-name using nothing buy Acid Pro by Sony. Regardless, I'd say that I have a lot to learn with it but I do feel a good vibe from it.
Thanks for these insights... better than most videos. I just got mine... I needed a middle ground between Roland TR8 which had bad interaction with midi to something that is hardware and controlls midi well... I think this is the device... look foward to more of your vids...
What they fail to mention is that the midi controller mode is essentially useless , since they didn't bother to create an editor patch for it. Even though You can "activate" this mode, it does not allow you to send midi cc messages or do anything except use the pads to play one octave of notes.
Looks like you guys were in Port Orleans French Quarter :) Can't wait until next year when me and my family are going to Disney world!!! But Great Video, keep up the good work!!
Have seen half of the video. By so far .. best one for my search. Wanted to know about the Mikro. The difference between MK3 and Mikro in comparison to the price. And thinking about .. naaa, not switching from MPC but addition. Landmarq > best man
I would say the biggest difference is functionality. If you have an MPC, you know how great it is to create full tracks on the MPC alone. With the MK3 and the Mikro, you need a computer, but with the mikro you need to rely much more on the computer to complete you project. I would say the MK3 will fit more into your workflow than the mikro, simply because of your experience with the MPC
@@Landmarq I would be very grateful if you would answer one of my questions again: I am currently clarifying with NI whether my system (OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan) is running an MKIII or whether I need an older MKII. If so, would you rather recommend a MKII or Machine Studio? Do you have experience with this? Thank you very much for your feedback. Michael, Germany
Thanks for the video. I use the piano to program drums into Cakewalk Sonar. I want a better feel and quieter keys/pad. Hitting the piano is LOUD! I want it just to program drum parts for rock. Looks like the Mikro would be fine for me...do you agree?
This looks like a great piece of kit but not really what i want. I use Logic and Studio One and just need a good pad interface that allows me to finger tap my drum beats into my DAW like the Presonus ATOM. Thanks for the vid anyway.
Hi there, just wondering… Is it the same software as the flagship ? I am a user of the MK 2 keyboard ! I like the videos I’ve seen on the integration on the Mk3 and the MK2 . however I am not gonna spend the money for the MK2because I am not a beat maker. I like to write pop songs . I love how the MK3 software can bring out the colors and other functional aspects!
Not going to buy, it’s good for on the road but If you pack up the MK3 the correct way it’s still the way to go and save yourself $250 and you don’t lose the screens. I don’t see a need for it really, just another controller but harder to use.
Good morning I know your video is old but can you help me with a LINK TO THE MACHINE MUSIC EDITING SOFTWARE IN 2022 PLEASE I HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE FROM THE COMPANY ALSO A LINK TO THERE SOUNDS LIBRARY PLEASE Thanks troy
Thank you for the video! I just got into Native Instruments with their new M32 keyboard that is great. Keys just a little small.. but it is fairly mobile and swell sits on desks keyboard shelf. (There when I want it and not in the way the rest of the time). Trying to look into a Mashine Jam or MK3 or Mikro MK3 though I am tempted to get a Roland TR8/TR8s Though I think Roland and the NI gear is more a complementing gear vs competing gear. Or maybe I’m wrong? What do you think? I might pull the trigger on the Mashine Jame or Mikro MK3 in a month or so. New JBL 8” active monitors are going to be ordered in a week.
Question if I may mr. Kincaid. First off, thank for the videos. Only problem I have with them is you make it look so easy. Anyways, I’m an extreme noob. Been doing this for about a month now and barely figured out how to get my akai mpk mini to work with my studio one 4 and my NI interface. But my question is, I bought NI komolete 11 and was considering buying the maschine. The $599 maschine. Am I basically buying the same software twice if I were to buy it. Says it comes with a bunch of software and I don’t want to pay for the same stuff twice. Don’t mind dropping coin on something I’m gonna appreciate, just don’t wanna gouge myself in the process. Thank you, sir.
I want to start making beats but I'm a little confused. Would the Maschine Micro mk3 be good to start with even thought I'm not familiar with how it works?
If you’re just starting out, it’s a good choice because of the price. The Maschine MK3 is more capable, but at a higher price. The good thing is that there are so many tutorial videos out there, and there’s specific HOW-TO videos from Native Instruments as well
I appreciate the review and information but could not follow you because you were using industry language that I did not know. Will it help in creating beats for church? Is it easy, user friendly, to learn? Does it require a computer or can it stand alone.?
in my opinion i think the MK2 mikro is the better version. i have the MK2 mikro and comparing it to the 3 seems like a slight downgrade. the screen is way too small especially for sampling you can’t see the wave form on the screen and basically the screen takes away a lot i think the mk2 mikro’s screen is a perfect size, you can see a good amount of options and it fits in with the rest of the buttons
How do i download my finish beat in Maschine 2 so I can load it on a USB to listen in the vehicle. I. Done with the beat but tried to import it but it gave me a bunch of scenes not the whole song. Help!
Im trying to decide between the Mikro MK3 or the Maschine MK3 to be used with my Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2. Do think the Maschine MK3 used with the S61 Mk2 is overkill now that the Mikro MK3 is out?
is there a good video for using maschine as a plug in with Logic? Like I know how to, but I want the to be able to use it as a controller to where when I'm hitting the pads creating my drums, etc...it shows up right into logic. Right now you have to take the audio from Maschine and drag it into Logic
Hello, I like the video, thanks. I subscribed. In 2012 I bought the original maschine and still have the controller, but not the software, if I bought this do you think I’d be able to use my old controller? Thanks again.
Thanks for the content very useful. I see you have an s61 and a Jam. When using the mikro+s61+jam do you still have to use the computer screen as much. Would that combination is it an equivalent to maschine mk3 ?
It’s a pretty close comparison, because you have those two LCD screens on the S61. If you’re doing step sequencing on the Mikro or shorter loops in general, it makes it easier to stay organized when paired with the Jam. But having those two LCDs on the Maschine or the S61 Makes life so much easie
@@Landmarq thanks for the quick reply!! I have an s61. I’ve been wonting to use maschine for its hands on less computer screen. I’ve been on the fence between buying an maschine mk3 or a mikro+jam (good price). Seeing that you have them all , in your opinion s61+maschine mk3 vs s61+mikro+jam which one do you think would be best? Thk
I have a Korg R3 that i've been using with Logic Pro for awhile now, but then added the Akai MPK Mini II a little while back to be more mobile with my laptop and have a controller. I'm debating on swapping those out for a Maschine or Machine mikro....any advise or suggestions on that? Not really sure if it's better but it looks that way
Is there anything to gain over, say using Akai MPK mini ? Ive been using Native instruments Komplete software with various midi keyboards over the years so familiar with Battery and other soft synths ; but it feels like these days Native Instruments is pushing Mashine and their own hardware/software rather than software to plug into a DAW.
Imo you cant compare the functionallity of this to an mpk mini. Though it may seem like they do the same things, this one wins over hands down if you use NI software...all the shortcuts integrated into the mikro via the extra buttons and shift functions is something you just dont get with something like an mpk mini. Plus the amount of free plug ins you get with the mikro is out of this world. My mikro came delivered with over 25GBs worth of plug ins...thats a LOT for something that just "comes in the box"...now if one doest use NI software then its the opposite, then imo you have close to zero reasons to get this...i use NI so it was a no brainer..
I'm really interested but I'm wondering Can you use this chord mode to play the session guitarist electric sunburst or even shreddage 3 Stratus? Or would I be better off buying the kontrol mk2?
For me is perfect tool for beats...i dont have problem to look at big desktop monitor screen..for surgical cuttings😉
I just bought the Maschine Mikro MK3 and the Komplete A25 for $350 for both out the door at Guitar Center (had a sale and I could not pass it up). Thought about the A49, but in the end, if I need more keys, Ill use my LaunchKey or MAudio. I got these because my desk space is a premium and the size of both of them next together is perfect.
Definitely looking at this, as it is a DAW and a box in one for cheaper than most DAWs. So far I am only using Ableton live lite, as I do not need a whole bunch of tracks. Think it is going to be a perfect combo for a more minimalist setup and production. Would be great to go for the bigger versjon tho for the interface and connections, but that would be for a later time.
I have seen upwards of 10 to 11 reviews on the Mikro MK3 and this was far and away the best. While I won’t be buying the Mikro, because I have the Maschine MK3... I now am comfortable making recommendations to my peers based on this comprehensive review. Ty 🙏🏽

I bought Komplete Kontrol M32 couple a days ago and was experiencing the Maschine 2 software for the first time, i was pleasantly surprised. My next buy will be Maschine MK3 for sure!
Nice...I actually plan on buying the Komplete Kontrol M32 along with the Maschine MK3
fuck the micro get the full mashine 3
This thing is PERFECTLY priced. I’m getting one based on what I’ve been doing with the very limited iMaschine on iPad. The sound packs KNOCK!!!! Looks like the perfect combination of stand-alone(even though it’s not) and DAW-like you say. Still a shame there’s no iPad integration with iMaschine-even though iMaschine projects export right to Maschine desktop.
Coming in on the ground floor! I've been researching and I think I'm going to snatch this up. Being a musician its hard to get the whole band together to get ideas and workflows down. Having this will help keep the creative ideas flowing, keeping the band from being dependent on a piece that's missing from a practice or rehearsal. I heard the learning curve can be tough not sure if thats true? However, I'm up for the challenge to keep the music flowing. God Bless thanks for the Video..

Trying to look into a Mashine Jam or MK3 or Mikro MK3 though I am tempted to get a Roland TR8/TR8s Though I think Roland and the NI gear is more a complementing gear vs competing gear. Or maybe I’m wrong? What do you think? I might pull the trigger on the Mashine Jame or Mikro MK3 in a month or so. New JBL 8” active monitors are going to be ordered in a week.
Ive got a maschine micro mk1 and this makes want to go break it out!
Question if I may mr. Kincaid. First off, thank for the videos. Only problem I have with them is you make it look so easy. Anyways, I’m an extreme noob. Been doing this for about a month now and barely figured out how to get my akai mpk mini to work with my studio one 4 and my NI interface. But my question is, I bought NI komolete 11 and was considering buying the maschine. The $599 maschine. Am I basically buying the same software twice if I were to buy it. Says it comes with a bunch of software and I don’t want to pay for the same stuff twice. Don’t mind dropping coin on something I’m gonna appreciate, just don’t wanna gouge myself in the process. Thank you, sir.
I want to start making beats but I'm a little confused. Would the Maschine Micro mk3 be good to start with even thought I'm not familiar with how it works?
If you’re just starting out, it’s a good choice because of the price. The Maschine MK3 is more capable, but at a higher price. The good thing is that there are so many tutorial videos out there, and there’s specific HOW-TO videos from Native Instruments as well
@@Landmarq Awesome, thank you!!
I appreciate the review and information but could not follow you because you were using industry language that I did not know. Will it help in creating beats for church? Is it easy, user friendly, to learn? Does it require a computer or can it stand alone.?
👏
in my opinion i think the MK2 mikro is the better version. i have the MK2 mikro and comparing it to the 3 seems like a slight downgrade. the screen is way too small especially for sampling you can’t see the wave form on the screen and basically the screen takes away a lot i think the mk2 mikro’s screen is a perfect size, you can see a good amount of options and it fits in with the rest of the buttons
Would you say there is a significant learning curve between from the Mikro to the MK3?
Do you know if this could be hooked up to a loop station like a boss 505 or an amplifier or only to a computer.
please, which Skullcandy headphone are you using ??? Is It Worth ??? Could I use it for mixing and mastering work ???? Nice video though
Thanks Marques! #DYTStandUp
If I make beats and sample tracks for fun and can’t afford mk3 in 2020 should I get mk 2 or micro 3?👀
can you totally undo a full sequence now or is this one only step und as well?
How do i download my finish beat in Maschine 2 so I can load it on a USB to listen in the vehicle. I. Done with the beat but tried to import it but it gave me a bunch of scenes not the whole song. Help!
Im trying to decide between the Mikro MK3 or the Maschine MK3 to be used with my Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2.
Do think the Maschine MK3 used with the S61 Mk2 is overkill now that the Mikro MK3 is out?
Em it doesn’t matter what we think, you should buy what’s fits you better
I like that!!
The maschine mikro mk3 is sick. But can you expect an honest review from a guy with a Maschine shirt
is there a good video for using maschine as a plug in with Logic? Like I know how to, but I want the to be able to use it as a controller to where when I'm hitting the pads creating my drums, etc...it shows up right into logic. Right now you have to take the audio from Maschine and drag it into Logic
My desk is small. Is it okay to put the full size maschine mk3 on the edge of the laptop? My laptop track pad has on off switch.
Hello, I like the video, thanks. I subscribed.
In 2012 I bought the original maschine and still have the controller, but not the software, if I bought this do you think I’d be able to use my old controller? Thanks again.
Yes, once you own the software, you can use any controller, old or new
Hi, Marques. is it possible to move the start and end markers in sampling mode using only knob?
I have a older Maschine mikro, can I still have Access to uncompleted tracks in this new software? Will older projects be lost???
I order mine bro
Dope video, but I'm stuck in between buying the flagship or the mikro
Get the flagship.. the2 LCD screens make it so easy to use..
Does it work with Catalina for Mac users?
Where can I get one of those Maschine T-shirts?
Can this software br use also with mk1 ?
when the Maschine Mikro came out trying to get help with it everyone was so rude and stuck up and not helpful
i returned mine
Man dude that sucks. What are you using now?
can it be use in a live gig??
Hey! do you know if the Mikro MK3 works without a laptop? say, used a powered midi to usb box and use it with an elektron octatrack?
dope vid
Thanks for the content very useful. I see you have an s61 and a Jam. When using the mikro+s61+jam do you still have to use the computer screen as much. Would that combination is it an equivalent to maschine mk3 ?
It’s a pretty close comparison, because you have those two LCD screens on the S61. If you’re doing step sequencing on the Mikro or shorter loops in general, it makes it easier to stay organized when paired with the Jam. But having those two LCDs on the Maschine or the S61 Makes life so much easie
@@Landmarq thanks for the quick reply!! I have an s61. I’ve been wonting to use maschine for its hands on less computer screen. I’ve been on the fence between buying an maschine mk3 or a mikro+jam (good price). Seeing that you have them all , in your opinion s61+maschine mk3 vs s61+mikro+jam which one do you think would be best? Thk
I know this is a different type of beast, but i just picked up the Atom for Studio One, any idea how they compare?
I have a Korg R3 that i've been using with Logic Pro for awhile now, but then added the Akai MPK Mini II a little while back to be more mobile with my laptop and have a controller. I'm debating on swapping those out for a Maschine or Machine mikro....any advise or suggestions on that? Not really sure if it's better but it looks that way
How often do you go to Disney?
what music that was in the background where to find it
What about garageband?
I have a query
I have purchased a sound card M-audio M-track 2x2 and you download its own tuner but still sound as before
Sound quality is low
Make sure your drivers are up to date
#teamFLstudio all the way 😄👍
Is there anything to gain over, say using Akai MPK mini ? Ive been using Native instruments Komplete software with various midi keyboards over the years so familiar with Battery and other soft synths ; but it feels like these days Native Instruments is pushing Mashine and their own hardware/software rather than software to plug into a DAW.
Imo you cant compare the functionallity of this to an mpk mini. Though it may seem like they do the same things, this one wins over hands down if you use NI software...all the shortcuts integrated into the mikro via the extra buttons and shift functions is something you just dont get with something like an mpk mini. Plus the amount of free plug ins you get with the mikro is out of this world. My mikro came delivered with over 25GBs worth of plug ins...thats a LOT for something that just "comes in the box"...now if one doest use NI software then its the opposite, then imo you have close to zero reasons to get this...i use NI so it was a no brainer..
I'm really interested but I'm wondering Can you use this chord mode to play the session guitarist electric sunburst or even shreddage 3 Stratus? Or would I be better off buying the kontrol mk2?
@@Landmarq thanks man! I'd love to see a demo of it done everything I find is just making drums and synths
