abunda_amazon_reviews Last month I was just a white boy with a dream... I'm now an EDM and Hip-hop producer with the dopest beats and hottest girls. THANKS, MASCHINE !;;Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Last month I was just a white boy with a ...;;Amazon Customer;;;this thing is amazing.....where do i start..i was looking for a simple drum machine to write drum tracks to play my guitar along with , i've also dabbled in music software so after looking at options i bought this...this is a tool like a keyboard used with there software maschine 2 and can use with/in conjunction with other software. it has tons and tons of sounds ,very well built. i LOVE the pads , touch sensitive, i would consider this an instrument or bunches of them. this has to be run on a pc or laptop , i don't own a laptop so i run it on my desktop pc thats run through my home theatre system and it sounds outstanding...the software that comes with this is extensive after registering the product and downloading native access .with the bundle software you can make any sound you want like seriously ANY sound. don't want to make it yourself? it will do analog sampling.......take my money! ......wait that's an expression no need to try and sell sound packs for hundreds and hundreds of dollars.. yup kids the only downside is what they want to charge for these extra sound packs..but it comes with so many sounds you won't have time to go through them all. this does have steep learning curve, that's not a bad thing because it does sooo much stuff it takes a min to learn it..lots and lots of youtube videos for tutorials.. if you like to write music and want something quality that sounds great this is your one stop shop.;;Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;this thing is amazing..;;stephen keeton;;;Im always worried getting stuff like this where people end up having problems. Everything came great. Such an amazing feeling for new and even old maschine users. Been wanting for years now. Its no plug in play though. Does take awhile to download and get started but if you prioritize the necessary download so you can play with it do that. Had no problems with the serial number. Had everything go through clean and get the komplete software and all. Definitely a bit of a learning curve but also an extremely useful tool that can speed up workflow once you get the hang of it. I personally love it and havent been able to grasp producing until I got this tool.;;Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Get it;;Luis Herrera;;;I like this controller more the more I use it. As a Komplete owner, and owner of other NKS compatible software; like Arturia Pigments, and their modeled soft synths, you can use, and tweak all those instruments, and effects as if you're using hardware. I was someone who was basically dawless. I hated dealing with computers, and softsynsths. I was basically hardware only. Maschine helped me bridge that gape big time. I feel like I'm playing with a real instrument. I combine the Mk3 with jam, and the combo is amazingly tactile. For 98% of the time I can just close my laptop, and just play/compose and have fun. The pads are the best by far that I own, and the knobs are great, plus the slider is just fantastic. I play guitar, bass, synths, and see the mk3 as another type of instrument to get new ideas going. I see a lot of complaints from those who wanted a midi controller for their daw and were dissappointed. If that's the only reason you're buying this then you would be. Get a push in that case. Being able to work as a controller with daws is just a tiny portion of its usability for when you have all the pieces of your track and you want to finish it with some vocals, and mix it in your preffered daw. It's a lot more than just a midi controller. And it works the best when used with Maschine, and NKS supported software. With NKS, and all of komplete you get audio previews of all presets, and visual icons on your controller screen, it's absolutely amazing. So if you are only using this as a daw controller for ableton you are missing out on so many cool features, its primary purpose is not to be a daw controller. Think of it as an instrument/interface you use with Native Instrument software, and anything with NKS. Their softsynsths, and effects do sound amazing by the way. Komplete is awesome, and since you get komplete select, you can upgrade for quite a bit less. If that sounds good, then you will probably love it too. Loopop has some amazing videos on YouTube describing all the awesome things the Mk3 and Jam can do. Check them out to see if this is for you.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Amazing for Komplete/NKS software owners.;;Jonathan Cook;;;This thing is amazing when used with the maschine software in standalone mode. Unfortunately, writing complete tunes in the standalone software is not possible (it's possible but the sequencer totally sucks) and the problem is the Ableton live integration is terrible. Very limited as a midi controller and lots and lots of problems as a plug in. For one sync is off and I have been going back and forth with the absolutely terrible NI tech support for over a month and they have fixed absolutely nothing. I am confident that they will eventually get this thing there but if you are using this with Live I would wait...or you can buy mine! lol;;Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2018;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;Has a lot of potential;;Grow;;;I just got back into music production after years of hiatus.I used Reason back in the day. I"ve seen maschine for years on youtube, always wanted an MPC type device. Then I saw Mike Shinoda ( linkin park( do a beat making video on youtube. He used the Maschine studio. So i decided to give this a try and I'm never looking back. Initially it was confusing, but after putting some time into it I love this thing. I comes with a great sound pallet and adding more always possible. It even always sampling and has an audio interface. It comes with massive the full version. Native Instruments has made a master piece. Mk2 Well wort the money with some nice upgrades !! I like the Duel color screens. Easy to navigate and can be used like a audio sketch pad. Currently using with Logic Pro X which recognizes it the minute they connect.. I have FL studio as well and it connects with it as well, you just need to use the controller editor to create a template and tweek. Both DAWs allow maschine as a VST which is fantastic. Up next some expansion packs.. Got mine delivered in 2 days with prime from the seller as promised..;;Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;OUTSTANDING MUSIC PRODUCTION SYSTEM;;Steven J
