  • Best bang for the buck.
I was looking for a new way to approach tune making. This device shines with its Machine DAW software and the ability to customize it with the configuration software. You can view many Youtube videos demonstrating its capabilities, so I will summarize here: The Maschine software is a DAW that can use existing VSTs and any of the NI expansion packs to create songs. Maschine software is based on the concept of building blocks for your composition...build a beat or phrase, chain beats and/or phrases and link them together. This is not how I create music but it's very useful, nonetheless. I love the key and chord modes that allow great experimentation. You configure your scale and base key and pretty much can't go wrong with the pad strikes. There's many different chord types and scales to choose from which really opens up the experimental aspect. I use Cubase and Reason and it integrates perfectly as a VST instrument in both cases. Many instances can be opened, so you can create a song using your favorite DAW and using the Maschine as an instrument for each track. This is what works best for me. Additionally, it is easily set up in MIDI mode by pressing (SHIFT + project) and using the configuration software, the pads can be adjusted to match your favorite drum machine. The config software allows you to adjust pad colors in MIDI mode. Maschine works really well if you have another NI keyboard. I have a Kontrol S61 and it can be used to browse and play harmonic notes right alongside the pads. Lastly, Maschine hardware seems really well built and has fantastic tactile response. Everything is downloaded from NI. The software, owners' manual and all the other documentation is well written, straightforward and do a good job explaining all the concepts they dicuss. ... show more

  • Excellent drum pad
I tried quite a few cheaper drum pads to use with my DAW but the touch sensitivity is lousy with those. I tried you tube hacks with electrical tape and that made the Akai pads OK but not great. These are the real deal. Its a lot of machine and software just to be a drum trigger but its hefty, well made and the pads are great, perfect touch sensitivity. Its a little pricy but worth it. Great addition to my arsenal. I use it with Addictive Drums 2 and Studio One 5. The pad mapping works great. ... show more

  • You need this gear!
I'm no producer but I enjoy making songs for myself if no one else. I've sold a few beats but mostly I do this for fun. I was starting to get frustrated using Ableton Live, I couldn't take advantage of all the features and versatility because the workflow was so cumbersome, it was hard to keep that creative feel, I realized I needed something to take my workflow to the next level. I was on the fence between Nascinr and Ableton Push. I decided on the Maschine Mikro because the workflow was so clean, oh and the price was nice. I didn't want to invest in another piece of equipment that was going to collect dust. This is just what I needed, out of the box it integrates perfectly with Maschine. I want happy about having to learn a new DAW but it made song arrangements very easy and intuitive instead of recording bars you work on stages of the music. Build your intro, you're done, then build your Verse. For the repetitive parts you don't have to copy or play them again you simply turn them on in the scene. You spend more time creating and less time clicking which hurts creativity. I already regret not buying the Maschine MK3. My advice is if you're wanting to be more creative and your workflow is suffering go ahead and pay the extra for the MK3 but if budget won't allow this is more than enough. You can watch videos on YouTube for all the bells and whistles. The other benefit are the expansion packs you get a ton of free packs and instruments so you can start making music right away. They are structured and mixed well so you can hear potential songs clearly ... show more

  • The pads are amazingly sensititve, build quality excellent. Read my notes for Windows/Ableton use.
Truly an expressive instrument for tapping out beats. The pads are god-tier in my book. Let me know if there are better pads out there please. I use mine as a midi controller for Ableton on Windows 10. Workflow there is to first start the included pad programming application which can put it into midi mode. Then starting Ableton. Another thing you will experience is this device is an octave or so up from where Ableton usually has drum triggers. You can add an Ableton midi effect to lower the notes that are input from the Mikro, or in the programming app, you can edit each "group" of pads use a lower octave. You have to edit each note individually. This was tedious but it worked best for me. Now I don't need to add midi effects in Ableton. I used the Mikro's Groups feature to have 4 sets of pads, each on a different midi channel. That way, I enable all 4 of drum instrument tracks in Ableton for recording (ctrl-click) and then I can switch tracks that I am triggering by chaging groups on the Mikro. It's super cool. You'll want to order a Decksaver poly-carbonate cover too. I bought mine direct, shipped from UK with no issues to USA and much cheaper than on Amazon. Feedback for NI: If I could ask for one major thing, I would want a firmware upgrade to allow using the hardware buttons to set to midi mode. Or, just boot to midi mode if that was the last operational state. Next... in my own utopia, a Mikro Mk4 would come eventually out with hardware midi ports :) You guys built an incredible instrument. Make a version that is more optimized for use with generic midi so it may be used with a wider array of studio setups. ... show more
