Get to know the new MASCHINE MIKRO | Native Instruments

[@stevenalvarado8047]

I swear native instruments is the apple of the music hardware world. Their products are so beautiful.

[@reudemort368]

I so agree 😃

[@zennycaptures6597]

and expensive!

[@Rich7714]

This put me off of buying this product. Apple is extortionately & immorally overpriced. I really hope this product is not the same.

[@mattryan6886]

They like apple and you can’t buy the software separately until just recently. I bought a mikro mk3 for 100$ with no software, I wish I would have done more research and saw I just bought a 100$ paper weight. Thankfully I just got the maschine 2 software separately. Trying to learn device now

[@MaybeBeni]

@@mattryan6886 where do you go to buy the hardware separately?

[@clarkflavor]

Damnit, now I want a Maschine Mikro AND a mouth harp!!

[@modraccin9514]

I chose to watch your video over the other hundreds of Maschine Mikro vids, because you were the first one that doesn't look like a hipster and gave me the impression that the content is more important than the guy. And my strategy worked! 😅Thanks for your great explanation of the device.

[@NickQuinn1986]

I would love to see a comprehensive video of integrating Maschine Mikro with Logic pro. I am struggling with it and feel it could be improved. The key area being exporting MIDI as separate channels into Logic. There is a way, but it could be more intuitive. Anyway, this is a great video.

[@soundsbyfl]

I'm struggling with that too. I feel maschine software is a bit difficult to navigate.

[@MaritimeFox]

I've been struggling with it too. So much so that I just put the maschine Mikro to one side for a few years. I'm back now to try and give it another go.

[@richardridings7511]

@@MaritimeFox Yep I'm the same.....compounded by a very old Laptop, but I have a new(ish) Mac Studio now (+Most of the N.I expansion packs) and I'm going to give it another go. How are you getting on? Are you also trying to integrate into Logic?

[@grantbaiman4925]

Hi Native Instruments I really like ow intuitive the workflow sounds, on the Maschine Mikro MK3. I seriously want to buy a Mikro MK3, however, I also really want to know, if Maschine software system allows for NVDA, (a computer application that helps blind people to use the computer, through audio feedback), to work in the Maschine software please? As I am blind, but truly know that, I want to produce music, an I find the Maschine controllers integrated with Maschine software, is the best workflow, even for a person like me. Thank you, And congratulations on the Maschine Plus launching soon.

[@mattcanton4188]

Respect, how did you get on?

[@grantbaiman4925]

@@mattcanton4188 Hi Matt. A few days after posting the comment, I ordered a Maschine Mikro an it's been awesome learning how to make beats, an also how to turn the sounds in my mind into actual sound. The Mikro has a good amount of controle over the software, so it just came down to memorizing the buttons and pads, Thanks to help from abled family & friends lol. My challenge is only when loading plugins, bussing effects, creating clips and exporting, but the process of recording patterns with awesome stock sounds, is fantastic. NI also made Maschine super accessable with accessibility via Complete Controle,, which I hear works amazing, with NI keyboard controlers Respect..

[@lflynn82]

Boris the fact you have vinyl records makes me wanna listen

[@shaoleanbeats921]

guys keep in mind, the morphing snapshot function is not available on mikro mk3. that kinda destroyed my usability for the mikro mk3 because thats in my opinion the best feature it offers, now i can go buy a jam to compensate this..

[@Zulek85]

For me, perfect. I had "big" Maschine, but I never had used to, and regularly used displays and advanced functions of hardware. Instead I mainly used PC. Maschine Mikro is what I need. It seems easier than it's bigger brother, and having all what is needed to be an hardware addition to software, for the most important parts of creation! I of course understand, that as a amateur, for hobby purposes only, which is creating very simple songs, Mikro is enough, but for pro's it's for sure not.

[@YouzTube99]

08:35 Can the granularity of the encoding knob be change?. Boris has to spend a lot of time turning it to the change he wants. That would seem like an easy parameter to allow users to control.

[@eaman11]

it's plain sad that they didn't put 4-8 endoders to tame the drones and the samples, volume and pan...

[@6919494]

Hello Native instruments. I hope you will read this message. Please, could you make an option of using wheel on every knob. Shift on mk3+right mouse on knob in software and wheel changing this knob. Wheel click = input data and forget knob. This is will make wheel more active and I don’t know does any other company did this before. Hope to see this update soon :)

[@faithalityblog]

Can I use this with other komplete instruments/sound packs? (like the Discovery series collection)

[@cymusicoff]

Hey, anyone know if those maschine products are standalone? Meaning, that they'd work without being connected to a computer? Txh

[@duckmanVSR]

The sounds he played in the beginning do they come with them factory? Or which sound pack is it in?

[@beatz04]

Just a pity that the Mikro3 only comes with a fraction of software content that the Mikro2 came with. Add to this the smaller Display of the Mikro3 and no Midi yet, i'd say the Mikro2 is still the better option. Also (genuine question) - do the MM3 pads have pressure sensitivity like all other models had/have ?

[@beatz04]

What what ? What exactly is it that you don't understand in my comment ?

[@ttiollesivad]

jafet fortnite are ya stiff?

[@SupertGTR]

No midi? wrong. MIDI via USB. Actually much more software available with the MK3. If you want a display, go with one of the larger Maschines. Pads are pressure sensitive.

[@Ash_Todd_]

@@SupertGTR I think he means midi over midi connector so it can be used with analogue synths

[@SnoMan1818]

Sarah2ill fancy seeing ya in the comments lol u should definately make some more komplete/maschine videos

[@SnoMan1818]

Sarah2ill also a good question I'm curious as well. The reason I'm disappointed with my mk3 is it's ableton 10 integration out of the box, the only reason I'd use it in a daw is to live loop/use as a sound bank on a drum rack or something

[@contrarian8]

It is explained here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXScomduh5KreLc

[@TheMelodicMonkStudio]

I think the whole drumset is Recording in the same track. Can we record different elements of drumset in different tracks while playing them at the same time in Maschine so that it will be easier for us to mix them later?

[@kevmorris9301]

ok so if I wanted to get into hands-on track making would this be a good start or do I need to spend hours and hours planning on playing something before I could knock something out? Looking for some learning curve feedback. Thanks!

[@MrFullCake]

Making music isn't that hard. Producing serious tracks is a bit harder. Dont expect to do things easily you'll have a lot of things to learn at the same time. Learning music and how to use your equipment.

[@2ndMOUSEofficial]

Great video, which just persuaded me to get one. I already own the mk2 and jam, but the mikro will be awesome for my other more minimal rig , alongside your M32. I love how compact it is. The only thing that makes me pause is that everytime I see a photo of the Mikro mk3, the pads are really bright colours, but when I see people using it, the pads look much dimmer. I hope there is a way to bring the colours up, so they are clearly visible in daylight

[@allahjoseph]

The only things I don’t like is the change of the manual sampling mode and mixing/adding effects to the master channel. I’ve been a dedicated user of Native Instruments’ Maschine series, starting with the original and moving to the Mikro platform for its smaller footprint. I’ve used the Mikro since its release, upgraded to the Mk.2 in 2017, and just got the Mk.3 in 2024. Despite the attractive new hardware, I’m disappointed with the sampling workflow changes. Previously, live manual slicing was a feature that significantly enhanced my workflow and was a major reason I preferred the Maschine. However, the Mk.3 now has a slower, less intuitive sampling process. This change seems ironic and counterintuitive, especially for a model marketed as “fast” and “on-the-go,” as Boris mentioned. It disrupts the efficient workflow I’ve relied on for over a decade. The original Mikro and other models support this essential feature, suggesting the issue is software-related. I contacted support to request that they revert the settings to re-enable live manual slicing, and I encourage others to do the same. This feature is crucial for maintaining the high productivity and enjoyment I’ve experienced with Maschine products. Also, we used to be able to navigate between sound, group, AND MASTER, with f1, f2, and f3. Now we only have sound and group… we should be able to do EVERYTHING from hardware. I’m sure this can also be resolved in a software update… something for long-time users of the mikro platform functionality. Let’s work together to get Native Instruments to restore these capabilities and enhance the user experience on the Mikro Mk.3. Some of us CHOSE the platform out of the desire to have a smaller footprint, but we didn’t want a smaller pool of functionality. I’m sure this was done to encourage sales of other offerings, but there are other reasons to buy the flagship models- maybe the screen? The amount of encoders? The ability to attach SD cards and use it as a standalone… don’t worry NI, we will still buy a good product, but bring back the days of being able to make beats while waiting in the airport. SMALL FOOTPRINT FTW.

[@epicon6]

You need a seperate audio interface if you want the sound to big studio speakers. The mikro mk3 does not come with an internal audio interface.. without one the sounds comes out from your computer’s sound card. Also it’s not a musical instrument. It’s just a controller with buttons. Maschine software makes the sounds and does everything.

[@DopamineOverload]

Gotta say, NI... HUGE mistake not having Controller Editor support for the Mikro MK3, or the M32. Huge. Colossal. There are a lot of people out there (thousands upon thousands) who like the controllers, because of MIDI-mapping customizability. Since the M32 has "Fixed assignments" and the Mikro MK3, the same..... no good, guys. You have to support general MIDI and other DAWs, as MIDI is bigger than EVER before. I'm speaking as a longtime NI customer (I own three Studios (two black, one white), a MK3, two MK2s (black and white), S49 MK1, S25 MK1, two Mikro MK2s, black and white). Was going to buy the M32... but nope... also, no Windows 7 support. Mikro MK3 would be a dope MIDI control surface plus drum pad... but since you can't change the MIDI channel nor assign ANY of the buttons to specific CCs or whatever you want (NOR have Groups with different MIDI notes, so... shifted octaves for a lot of options)... no go, too. Don't go the route of M-Audio who kept "breaking" cool things... or Akai, Roland, etc. You guys were the most forward-thinking company, and you're becoming the most backwards- thinking one. Don't follow this path. Please.

[@DopamineOverload]

@Sonic Vanilla I would go with a used MK2 controller. About $150-200. You get the same pads, bigger screens, and the Midi mapping is insanely customizable with the NI Controller Editor. If you can find a used MK2 with the Maschine software license transfer, even better. Good luck!
