You’ll need the included power supply for that, though USB power still works for controller mode. Also, if you were hoping that Maschine+ could run in standby mode with USB power, you’re out of luck. Sadly, they’re not touchscreens, though, I think they’re a little small for that to be useful anyway.
NATIVE INSTRUMENTS MONARK TUTORIAL PLUS
The third iteration of Maschine provides a logical workspace with high-quality pads and knobs that give it a premium feel - even more so on the plus with its metal housing. The fact that it’s so similar to the MK3 is no bad thing. NI even includes a 64GB SD card in the box. Lastly, there’s the all-important SD card slot for storing your projects and samples along with 32GB onboard storage for expansion downloads. There are now two USB-A ports (along with the USB-B port for connecting to a PC) which allow you to add other interfaces or MIDI USB gear. You still have two inputs and two outputs (1/4-inch TRS), MIDI in and out, a pedal jack and a 1/4-inch headphone port. Even around the back, where all the connections are, there isn’t much of a difference. The two are nearly identical, bar the new metal finish and a few minor tweaks to accommodate the necessary computer-free functionality. If you’ve ever seen the Maschine MK3, then the Maschine+ will be familiar. And while I wouldn’t call Maschine+ “portable” in the traditional sense, you can bring this with you on the road and leave your laptop somewhere safe. Plus, computers can be unpredictable (especially in a live performance). Some feel that clicking a mouse staring at a screen isn't conducive to creativity.

The idea is obvious: Getting rid of the PC is something many electronic musicians want to do.
NATIVE INSTRUMENTS MONARK TUTORIAL SOFTWARE
Maybe you could think of it as outboard gear, but with the UI running on a PC? But that doesn’t quite do the software side of it justice. But then there are plenty of software-specific controllers like Ableton’s Push or Korg’s MS 20 VST hardware. You could argue it’s desktop music-making software with a dedicated MIDI controller. Is it the all-in-one music production hardware many people (myself included) seek? Maybe, but what I can say for sure is that it’s an impressive, if not a slightly expensive attempt at merging desktop functionality with groovebox-style usability.įor those unfamiliar with Maschine, it’s a little hard to explain what it is without underselling it. It’s finally here, it’s called Maschine+, it costs $1,399 and it’s been on my desk for the last week or two. While this approach made it popular, it soon led many to want something ambitious: a standalone Maschine with the software built-in.
The dedicated hardware-software combo was an instant hit with users looking for the tactile control of outboard gear with the flexibility (plugins) afforded by a desktop. It’s been over a decade since Native Instruments introduced the Maschine platform.
