Sampler, Sequencer and multi-effects with hardware controller by Native Instruments

Native Instruments Maschine is the first unique instrument combining sequencer, sampler, multi-effects and a full blown integrated hardware controller into an inspiring and easy to-use system. Native Instruments Maschine combines flexibility of computer-based music production with the ease of a groove box. Maschine features total recall in a DAW environment, delivering a symbiosis of hardware and software that allows not only fast and fun instrument-like workflow, but also ensures professional productions. Native Instruments Maschine ships with a 5GB library with hundreds of high quality instruments, patterns and effects all tweakable in real time via the hardware controller.
