Native Instruments Maschine Studio stand 2.0

The engine is broken down into five Maschine plugins for kick, snare, hi-hat, percussion and toms. The new drum synthesizer engine is also a big new addition.

Annoyingly the original software had a cap on the number of plugins and groups allowed in a session, this has now however been removed in version 2.0. There’s been a complete reprogramming of the systems audio engine so it now supports multi-core CPU processing, greatly increasing CPU headroom. Version 2.0 of Maschine’s software also offers a whole host of new features which improve workflow. The large clickable jog wheel, positioned in the lower right of the controller can be used to adjust various parameters, depending on what you have selected on the Maschine studio. NI also decided to include a new edit section to the unit. Mixing on the unit is also greatly improved using NI’s new mixer UI mode. The studio splits your arrange view in two, giving you an overview of the scenes and patterns on the left display and a more detailed view on the right display. These displays are full customisable, so you can change layout to match various different workflows.Īrranging and sequencing also just got a lot easier. A much larger unit than the original Maschine, the Studio features two new, larger, full OLED colour displays. So lets get into some of the new features of the controller. If you are looking to take the unit on the road though, I would recommend getting a good case as the screens could easily get cracked in transit. The unit’s build is very impressive indeed (it’s going to have to take a big beating for any substantial damage to the studio!) There is an integrated stand, which makes it a lot more comfortable if you’re going to be banging out drums and rhythms. Whereas the Mikro was introduced to offer a stripped down version of the hardware, NI’s ultimate aim when introducing the Studio line was to give producers even more hands on control of their productions. Since then, we’ve seen the Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK2 Black version, Native Instruments Maschine MK2 Black and finally the product we’re going to be talking about today – the mighty Native Instruments Maschine Studio Black. Back in 2009 Native Instruments Maschine burst onto the scene, finally there was a piece of hardware on the market to rival the all-conquering Akai MPC.
