The next MPCs followed Maschine down the hybrid route, with a range of hardware controllers acting as front‑ends to a Mac/PC‑based MPC app and plug‑in. Maschine had access to processing power and plug‑ins, and could slot into the DAWs that had become the primary workspace for many producers.Īkai found themselves on the back foot, and the previous year’s Renaissance was to be the last of the classic standalone MPCs. In 2009 the first Maschine took cues from Akai Pro’s MPCs, but by moving all the hard work to an attached computer NI opened up the scope of what was possible. The arms race of beat production workstations has come full circle. Watch the video below for more info on Maschine Plus.Is the Maschine+ the standalone music‑making box you’ve always dreamed of? Round back there’s two line ins and a stereo output, as well as MIDI DIN I/O and two USB ports for adding class-compliant MIDI controllers like a keyboard to play your sample and synths. Maschine Plus includes Reaktor, Monark, Prism, Massive and FM8 synths as well as the Maschine Factory Library and Raum, Phasis and more built-in FX. The unit also is WiFi-enabled and once you activate the device you can download your existing Maschine Expansions, alongside any other plugins and sounds, directly to the device without a computer. Maschine Plus is powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 4GB of RAM and features 32GB of onboard storage, plus a 64GB SD card that comes with the unit to load your own sounds and samples.
Maschine Plus features the usual Maschine MK3 form factor, with 16 pads, two screens, macro knobs, but now features instruments and effects onboard the hardware rather than controlling the software.
Operating without a computer, it’s the first standalone Maschine product since it was launched in 2011. Native Instruments has introduced an all-in-one standalone production unit called Maschine Plus.
