NI have kept it more and more simple as the digital age has hit, but what more do you need, really? And honestly, I love it when packaging is elegant in its simplicity. Inside you get your Mikro controller, one of Native Instruments’ branded USB cables (which are actually quite decent quality), and a small black paper envelope with your hardware serial, warnings, quick start flyer, and the all-important Maschine logo sticker sheet. Keeping the electronics dry during transportation is essential, but there are alternatives to polystyrene padding, which I hope will be used in the future. I was a bit disappointed to see NI using polystyrene packing, along with another layer of plastic to bag up the hardware. Opening the box up, you get everything you need to get started (which isn’t much, admittedly). We’ve already spoken about plastic waste in the music industry, so I applaud the Maschine team for that ecologically inclined sentiment. Replaced by naked corrugated card packaging with minimal printing and a couple of stickers stuck on.įor Native Instruments, the change to the new look was partially driven by a desire to be a bit more “eco-friendly, saving on paint, and also cost-savings to the end customer”, to quote. Gone is the glossy full-colour box with comically oversized quick-start guide. First impressionsīefore we go into whats IN the box, lets talk about how the Mikro is packaged.

The third revision of the compact, fully bus powered, portable hardware/software hybrid that includes the full Maschine 2.7 groove software, featuring a multi-touch strip, larger velocity-sensitive RGB pads, and a new design. How well does the compact hybrid controller cosy up with your set up for playing other people’s music? In a nutshell
With that said, I think we’ve set the tone for how this review approaches the Maschine Mikro MK3. Since December 2016, both Maschine 2.5.5+ and T raktor Pro 2.11+ have sported Ableton Link, allowing them to be accurately and quickly synced up, either on the same computer, or across wired and wireless networks.
“It pretty much already is…” the wind whispers, in reply. “ When will we see Maschine integrate with Traktor?” I hear rattling around the internet, echoing like in a desert canyon, littered with cattle skulls and tumbleweeds.
