Native Instruments Launches Maschine 3 – Here’s What’s New
Native Instruments has introduced Maschine 3, a major update to its beatmaking and music production application.
Maschine 3 introduces stem separation, workflow enhancements, community requested features and a new Maschine Central library of sounds, rhythms, and presets.
While Maschine 3 is designed to work with Maschine hardware, they’ve also updated it so that it can be used to build tracks, from start to finish, without any additional hardware.
Here’s whats new in Maschine 3:
- Stem Separation: Split any audio file into drums, bass, vocals, and other instruments.
- Maschine Central: Machine Central includes over 100 kits, 144 Kontakt instruments, and synth presets from Monark, Massive, Prism, and more.
- MIDI Editing tools: A suite of MIDI editing tools to split, join, erase and mute MIDI notes, keyboard shortcuts, audible MIDI note previews, and more.
- Custom tempo upgrades: Set custom tempos per-scene.
- Kontrol S-Series MK3 integration: Basic integration includes transport controls, integrated control over Play Assist, on-keyboard display of Maschine modules, and support for thousands of NKS partner instruments.
- Additional software: Get Ozone 11 Elements, an easy-to-use set of mastering tools free with the Maschine 3 bundle, alongside Massive, Monark, and Reaktor Prism.
- Bounce in place: Render sounds, patterns, and ideas as audio, saving CPU power and opening up new creative possibilities.
- More file formats: Maschine can now import MP3, MP4, FLAC, and OGG files.
Maschine 3 is available now, starting at $29. Additional bundle and upgrade options are also available.
