Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MKIII

Native Instruments have just announced a slew of new products - first up Maschine Mikro MKIII which takes the compact beatmaking of the Mikro system and adds a UI more akin to the Maschine MK3, with the new improved, larger pads and the Smart Strip though without the large screens and multiple macro knobs.

Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK3 is available September 18th priced: £199/$249/€249

Features:

• Compact, music production instrument that integrates powerful software with tactile, responsive hardware
• Four ways to input sound using the 16 pads – drum in pad mode, play melodies in Keyboard mode, create chord progressions in Chord mode, and program in a classic step-sequencer style from Step mode

• 1.6 GB MASCHINE Factory Selection with samples, one-shots, loops, sample instruments, presets, patterns, drum kits, and songs
