Easy to use hardware for music production
Native Instrument’s Maschine collection has been at the cutting edge of music making for more than a decade, bringing you new and exciting ways to shape sound in your studio and on the road. Today, the Maschine collection is at the vanguard of the music industry, helping musicians, producers, and DJs take back control of the creative process and explore the potential of VSTs and your DAW.
Hands on, responsive and tactile, music production hardware puts the world of VST technology at your fingertips. Whether its drum pads, keys, DJ controllers, or any other type of interface, production hardware takes your eyes off the screen and gives you new ways to craft and create your music. Maschine is the latest example of NI’s forward-thinking approach to music production, seamlessly combining responsive hardware and innovative software for a fully integrated experience through your computer and DAW.
However, the NI Maschine series offers much more than just controllers for your PC, with Maschine+ and Maschine Mikro working independently from your DAW as a fully functional, standalone music production tool. Check out the Maschine range below and find the perfect fit for your creative process.

Shipped with dedicated sequencer software and an audio interface that allows you to build full tracks on the fly, Maschine+ redefines hardware for music production with innovative workflows and an extensive selection of instruments and effects.
Featuring 16 large, ultra-sensitive multicolor drum pads, 8 touch-sensitive knobs, and a 4-directional push encoder, NI Maschine+ hardware is a tactile music production tool that’s as comfortable to use in the studio as it is on the stage.
Maschine Mikro
Small but packing plenty of power, Maschine Mikro is a fully portable music creation tool that’s ready for the road. Make beats, play melodies, and build tracks hands-on with this fast, flexible hardware/software instrument—as comfortable when used as a stand-alone with the inbuilt audio interface as it is when it’s hooked up to your favorite DAW.
