Why upgrade to Maschine 3? Here’s what’s new

The latest software generation of Native Instruments’ flagship beat making and music production platform has landed. It’s the first software version available to buy on its own without Maschine hardware. And thanks to new and improved features like MIDI editing, it’s now much easier to craft a track from start to finish, without extra gear. There are plenty more fresh features like stem separation, Kontrol keyboard integration, a brand-new library, and free iZotope Ozone software included. Let’s dive in.

Community-requested features

Maschine 3 was designed to bring in as many requests from Maschine users as possible and the online community played a big role in this. There are many workflow improvements on board, like support for compressed file formats and more features which we’ll explore below.

What’s new?

Stem separation

You can now import any track and Maschine will identify bass, drums, vocals, and other elements at the click of the button. It’s powered by iZotope’s legendary RX technology which now also makes an appearance in Traktor Pro 4 software. Stem separation gives you so much more creative control and opens up a world of sampling possibilities.

Bounce in place

Want to flip a MIDI melody to audio and chop it up like a sample? No problem! Maschine 3 lets you render sounds, patterns, and ideas as audio, saving CPU power and opening up new creative possibilities.

MIDI editing

The improved suite of mouse MIDI editing tools make it easier to create a track from start to finish without additional gear. Split, join, erase, mute, MIDI notes, keyboard shortcuts, computer keyboard, and audible MIDI note previews will give you more control over your compositions than ever before.

Tempo per scene

You can now set custom tempos for each scene – so each section will hit different. This gives you deep control of the flow of a track and is an ideal tool for live performance.

Kontrol S-Series integration

Maschine 3 now includes basic integration with Kontrol S-Series MK3 keyboards. This includes transport controls and on-keyboard display of Maschine modules and thousands of NKS partner plugins.

A whole new library

Get everything you need to make tracks in any genre. Maschine Central is a completely redefined library with presets from cult synths Massive, Monark, Prism, over 700 drums, and 114 multi-sampled Kontakt instruments.

Free mastering software, and more
