Native Instruments has released Maschine 3, the latest update to its iconic beat-making platform. It is packed with fresh features to take music production to the next level, from a powerful new stem separation tool to a totally revamped sound library. Maschine 3 is built to fuel creativity - whether you’re sampling, arranging, or performing live. To celebrate, Native Instruments is also offering special discounts on Maschine hardware, available until January 15.
What’s New in Maschine 3?
Maschine 3 introduces a range of upgrades designed to streamline music creation and enhance sound quality. Here’s what stands out:
Stem Separation: Thanks to iZotope's RX technology, you can now isolate drums, bass, vocals, and other parts from any audio file. This opens up endless possibilities for remixing and resampling.
Maschine Central Library: The library has been completely reimagined with over 100 kits, 144 Kontakt instruments, and synth presets from classics like Massive and Monark. It’s a genre-spanning arsenal for everything from hip-hop and pop to R&B, funk, and electronic music.
Enhanced MIDI Editing: Split, join, mute, and preview MIDI notes with new keyboard shortcuts, making the creative process faster and more flexible.
Per-Scene Tempo Adjustments: Customize tempos for each scene, making it easy to control track flow or switch things up during live performances.
Kontrol S-Series MK3 Integration: Maschine 3 syncs smoothly with the Kontrol S-Series MK3 keyboard, so you can easily control your session, view Maschine modules on your keyboard screen and access thousands of sounds from Native Instruments’ NKS partners.
Bounce in Place: Render sounds and patterns as audio on the spot, freeing up CPU power and giving you room to experiment with even more ideas.
Expanded File Compatibility: You can now work with MP3, MP4, FLAC, and OGG files, giving you more options when importing samples.
