What’s new in Maschine 3?

• Stem separation: Import any track and Maschine will identify bass, drums, vocals, and other elements at the click of the button. Stem separation opens up a whole world of sampling possibilities, all powered by iZotope’s legendary RX technology.

• Community-requested features: Maschine 3 was designed to include feedback from the Maschine community. First there’s Bounce In Place which lets you render sounds, patterns, and ideas as audio, saving CPU power and opening up new creative possibilities. NI have also added support for compressed file formats and per scene tempo for deep control over track flow. And there’s basic Kontrol MK3 keyboard integration with transport controls and on-keyboard display of Maschine modules and thousands of NKS partner plugins.

• No hardware needed: It just got easier to create a track from start to finish without additional gear, thanks to Maschine 3’s new and improved mouse MIDI editing tools. These include split, join, erase, mute, MIDI notes, keyboard shortcuts, computer keyboard, audible MIDI note previews, and more.

• Maschine Central: Get everything you need to make tracks in any genre. Maschine Central is a completely redefined library with presets from cult synths Massive, Monark, Prism, over 700 drums, and 144 multi-sampled Kontakt instruments.

• Even more software included: Bring your finished tracks to life with essential iZotope mastering software, included free. Get an updated Master Assistant that matches your favorite reference tracks, Assistive Vocal Balance so vocals don’t get lost in your mix, and much more. And old favorites, synths Monark, Massive, and Reaktor Prism come as part of the package too
