Maschine Mikro MK3 - Sample based beatmaking!

Let's take Maschine Mikro MK 3 from Native Instruments for a spin and make a quick little sample based beat on it!
I hope this will give you some sense of what it actually is to use it when making sampled beats. I have a quite strange way of chopping my samples but it works great for me with the Mikro MK3!
A nice and simple beat, some scratching and some good times :)
BOOM!
Hit me up with questions below. I appreciate the crap out of every last one of you!
Don't mention the baseline, please ;)

I was considering getting a MK3 for myself. I'm not considering it anymore. I'm sold. Take my money. In all seriousness, I love the looks, the way it plays and how it operates and the beat you made with this in a short amount of time is just incredible. The usage of slicing the sample and how you structured the overall beat was just genius. Personally, some minor vinyl crackle or distortion on the chopped sample and some Foley noise in the background would of really given it a lo-fi feel. A filter on the drums during the beats' intro would of been really lovely too, especially if you put in an 808 or backing pad that kicked in just as the filter came off the drums. Absolutely amazing, you've sold me on this thing. Incredible content, immediately subscribed.

Keep doing you, i just started watching your videos. Great producer skills and its obvious you love hip hop. Beautiful art!

Coming from Logic Pro X, having moved to iOS beatmakers and a Novation Circuit(good for EDM)--I think I'm gonna sell the Circuit and get this. I've been more creative with the limitations of the iMaschine app vs. other beatmaking apps including Beatmaker3(powerful but very involved) this looks like the perfect move for extending the feel of the iMaschine app. Thanks AB!

[@QuintonDwayne]

Good video fam, I’ve actually started using maschine when the mk2 came out. I like the new maschine mikro. The more u know the software the easier it is to use the mikro.

[@AccurateBeats]

Yup, that’s my akilles heal with Maschine... I really don’t know my way around the software much. I use the hardware for pretty much everything but you’re absolutely right: the Mikro is awsome if you’re comfortable with using the software! Thanks for watching

[@jeffagoddard]

Great video. You’re a master

[@DavidTramacchi]

Thank You, I'm seriously thinking about the Mikro MK3 as a beginner. Before this it came out it would have been the Novation Launchpad Pro with Abelton Live. Really torn between both now haha...

[@AccurateBeats]

I can't say much about Ableton live at all unfortunately. I just know that Maschine works great for me and that the MK3 is to be considered as a great starting point for a new machine user. thanks for watching

Your beats are dope. I wanna master these maschine too

[@mcqwhat]

Hey Accurate! So I dig your workflow and sound bro. Honestly feel I have a similar sound.. and we use the some of the same equipment from Native! My question is actually about the ending of this video.. scratching on the beat. I have a Z2.. and I’m using a Maschine Mikro MK2.. so I obviously have Traktor and Maschine software. What is the best way to setup or connect the Z2 and turntable to Maschine so I can easily sample a record or scratch over one of my beats? I feel like there has to be an easier way than how im doing it.. cheers!

[@ivanterzieff7820]

Nice one You are masterclas

[@jralocalsonly]

Thank you for the video! Just bought this today and I'm loving it so far but I'm obviously new to it. How do you set the sounds for each button to cut each other off as you press each one? Is there a setting for that? I see you have it set up that way already in this video if I'm not mistaken.

[@abercrombiebeats9541]

Amazing stuff man! How do u put one pad up or down semi tone without affecting all 16?

[@tytn5541]

keep this stuff goin. i dig the guide - ***** i need guides just like this one - lo fi vibes and simplicity.. if i could triple like i would

[@operez3]

I'm thinking of getting one of these units. Does the software accept other formats of sounds like the one's I already own or do I have to get all native instruments sound packs?

[@sikalikane1838]

Damn that sample is good

[@Movkus]

Hey, nice beat man! I was wondering if there are any bigger rappers that have used your beats? :)

[@joeyhe1324]

Amazing skills

[@samprock]

Way cool demo Accurate! Inspiring. You got sick skills operating with sampling on full Maschine. It is great to see and get a feel of doing this on Mikro /with mouse and monitor instead. Makes it more approachable for Maschine flow newbie, very drooling to try (burned my computer at the moment). I mean not vinyl samples like you do, but in my case I like to connect guitar playing some licks or hardware synth with unique sound and play with it more creative. Never got right environment designed for that trully. Trying to make it in large linear DAW usually goes tedious and feels awkward. In smaller grid approach apps, it might not be as handy to chop a piece and (by-design or the tool) have it tuned to the pads right away. Sound like new horizons for the flow! TNX!

[@AccurateBeats]

It sounds like you could develop a great little workflow with Maschine and that kind on raw material! I think the Maschine Mikro MK3 could be great for that stuff but the full size Maschine is definitely a better device overall. Thanks for watching and commenting man, I appreciate that!

[@samprock]

I’ve been watching yr live session, took me couple nights to enjoy. Like reversing guitar is one of my fav lil tricks too. Watching how it’s done with ease..... don’t get me wrong, I still trying to convince myself that Mikro will do (and it’s shape is the only phisical space I have in two setups), but more I get into playing it realizing how full MK3 is the Komplete (no pun intended) living organism :) today spend an evening with it again. Had to take Moog (subsequent 37 cv) off the table, but MK3 just sings and responds. Intaking more skills and watch less monitor or reach to mouse, but only can imagine how much more fun it can be at kraft level. Puzzled and can’t decide. Maybe just need both Mikro and Mk3? lol, and a bigger table ... and quit job :)

[@EricTheSwede]

Hey, I know I'm on an really old video but I'm wondering about software/kits/sounds etc. Does this Mikro MK3 come with a library like the bigger brother full size MK3 does? I'm completely new and I'm trying to learn on a 2012 MPC Studio. This hardware looks a lot more like my type of workflow! Found your videos the other day, completely hooked!

[@jeffhollins3233]

Been having mine for a while now. How do you import (mp3) music on your hard drive into the software to chop? Does it has to be wave files and how can I convert to wave without using itunes. I don't use iTunes.

Can anyone please help? Can't find the info i need anywhere... I have the new "Maschine MK3 Mikro". Not the larger "Maschine MK3" I have installed all current software for Maschine MK3 Mikro and Logic Pro X. First... There is no "Maschine MK3 Mikro" to choose in the current "NI Controller Editor" software??? So... I used the "Maschine Controller Mk3" because it looks exactly the same in the transport and pad area. "The Mikro and Mikro 2 Controller" do not look the same. I went through all your custom steps In the NI Controller Editor..... For the "Maschine MK3 Controller"..... Second... When I get to the setup part of it inside Logic Pro X there is no "Maschine Virtual" Input or Output to choose? There is nothing in the "Output Port" or "Input Port" that says "Virtual" anything? I have even tried to set it up with the Mackie Controller but still never anything that says "Virtual" to choose from. It's just never there? So i also tried with the "NI Controller Editor" for all the NI "Mikro" products. When it comes time to set up in Logic Pro X, there is never anything that says "Virtual" to choose? So frustrating. I've been doing this for a long time and usually i'm really good at figuring this out but feels like they sent this hardware out unfinished? The software doesn't work for setting up control in Logic. Has anyone with a new "Maschine Mikro MK3" been able to figure this out? Do you only get the "Virtual" option with the larger "Maschine Mk3"? Did it come with any other Maschine? Did Logic Pro X take it out with an update? I need this transport control inside Logic. And pads would be nice to. But without the "Virtual" option there is nothing i can do. Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much. (if there is a link to anywhere explaining this please post it here for me).

[@jesuisrouge]

I created my sample and sliced it, but when i drag it to a new group, I'm not hearing anything. What am I missing?

[@iThinkWeGotIt]

Great video. All i needed to see was the chopping. So get mikro and a interface or the MK3 🤔

[@TWO515TY]

If you're trying to figure out whether to use the extra money saved from buying the Mikro towards an interface, keep in mind that the MK3 does have its own interface built in as well. From what I saw in this video, I'd say that a sample-based producer would probably have a much easier time with the MK3.

[@zander2753]

Would you recommend this for a noob? It doesn’t look too complicated so I’m not bothered about that, I’m just wondering if it’s the best one out for a noob.

After watching I'm trying figure out what's so good about it. I can do the same thing with my mk3 and seen what I'm doing while doing. It must be the lesser price got to be.

[@Citracid]

So for beginning it's a great tool?

[@RodrigoRangel1]

Hey man dope video! Do yo know how to stop the Mikro MK3 from playing the kits or sounds as you browse through them? Like I just want to turn the knob in silence and just use the pads to find out what the kit is like instead of getting a sample beat played every time I select one. Thanks so much!

[@MrMaticmouth]

Can you use the LCD display to chop the sample, or is it only via a laptop screen?

[@TonyGellaDrums]

Try to understand the functional difference between micro and mk3 version. No screens- ok.. what else? What about software? It comes with same sample packs and soft? Can use completely same like mk3 with two screens?

[@DopamineOverload]

Did they ever allow chopping from the hardware for the Mikro MK3? If not, that's insane. Thanks, Accurate!

It runs on the USB-power and needs a computer with the maschine software in order to work at all. We are waiting for this one to get MIDI-functionality but we dont know when NI will add it. So... Right now it doesnt work ith anything else than the Maschine software and it is not compatible with ios. Thanks for watching!
