Learn all about the piano roll and light guide features in Maschine 3 and how they give you helpful visual feedback as you create.
Maschine is all about getting your musical ideas flowing. It’s there every step of the way from beat making and sampling to arranging and performing your tracks. Use it with virtual instruments or your own samples, both on its own and in a DAW. And if you’re ready to take things up a gear, bring in Maschine hardware to get hands on.
The Maschine 3 software package comes with Maschine Central, a brand-new library packed with over 700 drums and 114 multi-sampled Kontakt instruments. Plus, essential iZotope mastering software, Ozone Elements is included free.
