We’ve charted the progress of Maschine since 2009 and in that time it has grown significantly but without ever compromising the vision of operational simplicity. Without further ado, let’s see if all our prayers have been answered, leaving only world peace left to long for. The controller is the Maschine Studio and its software is available to users old and new, fully rewritten with a new audio engine and an affinity for multicore processors. Early 2013 saw this hardware/software hybrid embrace colour in a big way and now, before the glow has had a chance to dim on those multicoloured pads, a new top–of–the–range controller joins the flock. In its four year lifespan, Native Instruments’ Maschine has bulked–up in gradual stages to become a powerful and mature beat–oriented sequencer. Native Instruments take their hybrid groove machine to another level with new hardware and a big software update.
