It isn’t the cheapest of things, like novation (no shade) but the quality and functionality of NI and the fact you can keep using it for many years makes it worth the little bit extra in my opinion. Also, upgrading NI products is sooo easy, bc it’s pretty much plug and play, and you can go straight away, thanks from all the emerging produces Native Instruments!

Disagree. They're dumbing down the controllers, and the users. No Controller Editor (customizable MIDI) support. Fixed button and pad assignments in MIDI mode. No Pages, like with Mikro, Mikro MK2, MK2, Studio, Jam, and MK3. Nope.... big, BIG design mistake. For cash-strapped producers, nothing beats a used Maschine controller (MK2 can be found for $150 all day long right now)... and you can often (97% of the time) get a software license transfer with most used Maschine controllers. Go that route, and keep your controller future-proof.

Just got a Mikro (Mk3) in 2023 after taking a break from Maschine when my M1 Mac mini broke functionality of the Mk1 controller. Decided to get back into the Machine game after learning the Arturia Drumbrute Impact inside and out. After looking at both options, decided to take a chance on the Micro as it’s nearly 1/4 of the price of the full-size with most of the functionality. (Sampling and messing with samples is the least of my concerns so no problem there.) Since I’m just about to record a new album, my setup is very DAW-centric right now and using a mouse is central to my workflow. That said, as the video pointed out, you could argue the computer monitor is a much better screen that what’s on Mk3. Coming from a full-size unit, I’m trying to figure out what I’m really missing out on, especially when you have another drum machine and/or other gear and Machine isn’t the focus of workflow. Probably will pick up a full-size when I see a killer deal on one (right now they seem to hover around $350-400, which seems a lot for a controller that could be five years old) as having a spare Mikro for another computer setup or a having an extra for a standing/sitting rig … Either or, Maschine is a great environment to create beats and the new touch strip is a fantastic performance controller that I’m glad NI added. If you go with the Mikro for whatever reason it’s not penalty box and I’d argue the greater simplicity has a value over the full size …

Good review. If you don't mind using the mouse along with the controller, seems to be good as it can't browse from the device anymore. I have a Mikro MKII for some time and here is the thing that bugs me most about Maschine overall: the hardware is great but the software is not that much. Aside from a few other things, the problem on the MKII is that you'll miss the encoders as soon as you want to record automation in it, as the Mikro knob is a step encoder (it skips values by 5) and is the only knob you can record automation from when using a Mikro. I have a bunch other controllers here (like the launchcontrol xl) and I can't record automation from them because while the software allows me to map the other controllers to the macros/parameters and control them, it won't record any events coming from them. When trying to play around with the Mikro you won't get smooth automation recorded because of that limitation, and depending on the effect/parameter changed, those steps may be noticeable. (and if you press down the knob the steps are too short to cover a wide range in a short amount of time)

i got rd of my maschine studio because it was so big ive had it since they first came out. Most people dont realize that the heart of Maschine is the software . For the most part each maschine hardware is used to navigate the maschine software. In general they all do the same thing . Yes the mk3 has an interface but its stil not stand alone . The only thing the micro is missing is the screens which is ok with me because i never used the screens on the studio. So the micro is perfect for me .

6:20 This is what I'm noticing about the NI Mikro controllers.. I had the M32 and now I have the A25, and what I notice these micro controllers have in common is that they attempt to let you control things from the hardware but it's like "You can do it better with the mouse and keyboard." Browsing sounds with Komplete Kontrol on the M32/A25 is like... It's cool if you like looking at that tiny screen on the controller it works well, but you can't select more than one thing (with the mouse you can select multiple tags) and if you're looking at the screen and using the hardware encounter you'll find the performance is pretty laggy and not good. It's much better with the mouse. And I'm feeling this with this Mikro mk3.. you look at the screen and see the knob highlights change as you press left and right it's like.. Mouse over to it, done. Way faster and more convenient.. Why am I gonna pay $250 for something that is less convenient and slower than using the mouse. Hardware is supposed to make it better. Just from that alone I think I'll just wait and buy the Maschine Mk3 and skip the Mikro.
@DopamineOverload5 жыл бұрын
NI made a colossal mistake in not having Controller Editor (MIDI Mode) support with their M32 or the Mikro MK3. No way will I buy any more (new) NI products if this is the direction they're going. The MK3 (regular) has support, thankfully. For those midi geeks (like me).... go with a used MK2 if you want not only a controller for Maschine, but a DOPE midi controller with a million assignable buttons, encoders, and a click-encoder. Maschine Studios are cheap as hell now, too... $250 on average (and most of the time that includes a license transfer). NI is going backwards.... MIDI is bigger than ever, and customizability and tweakability is the new paradigm. Controller Editor is my favorite editor EVER.... Studio, MK2, Mikro MK2, MK3, Jam (I own them all, most bought used... the only one bought new is the MK3). Total mappability.... ridiculous config options..... NI has to start thinking forward, because they are dumbing down the industry and its users with this "fixed assignment" nonsense. Nope. Not having it. Buy the controllers used (especially a Mikro MK2, which sells for about $100 right now), with the license transfer (usually), and enjoy future-proof controllers (for hardware or ANY other DAW).

You can use the S49 within Maschine's software and once you do that, your 8 knobs give you access to the parameters of whatever you've loaded up.

I returned and got full MK3, which is great, but won’t need an audio interface. I am playing more synths and VST (NKS Arturia) so one encoder would enough. Will be looking onto computer screen anyways. So could save table space (critical for me) and also good back, so instead get full soft suite. Couple questions, it comes without Komplete Select, just basic? Also I would miss screen showing what exact chords you have assigned to pads in chords mode. What lil screen shows in screen mode! I’s there a way to know what chord sit on pads with Mikro MK3 and software? Thanks bulks for timely review!

Table space is critical, so like Mikro to be part of the work flow (while full MK3 designed to be the focal point). I glad NI replicated way handy MK3 flow on dedicated buttons vs MK2, and would love those huge, silky-sexy MK3 pads around for beats, grid sequencer and chords :) NI better remember that "controllers" nowdays are the _musical instruments_ and a door for music education for many. Not every bedroom musician graduated conservatory (hehe), but we'd love to learn. If at least chords names shown on tiny screen will be cool enough. I would grab guitar and start strumming chords knowing. handy! Anyways Mikro seems the one who would travel in a bag or fly for 2 week beach vacation along with laptop :)

I found a brand new white mikro mkII for cheaper than the mikro mk3.. what do you think? I think i prefer to have the screen.. Been debating between maschine and mpc for like 2 years.. I can never decide lol... Drums are the only area I still use VI's with a standard midi keyboard, like heartbeat for example.. All my other synth sounds come from hardware, all of them.. Samples, if i need something realistic, I will use Kontakt, otherwise I use my hardware romplers like integra even for that.. But drums i have NO hardware of any kind - yet.. I just want something that makes it a bit easier to play in drum sequences, but I use a computer as my main hub, so something like maschine should be fine.. Is the included library good? is there an easy to use grid based drum sequencer in the software that I can use when the hardware isn't handy? One thing I do like is Cubase's drum editor, which Logic and Pro Tools lack.. With Cubase i can easily program beats for any VI with the drum mode, the others have to use the standard piano roll... Hence why I also want something like maschine ,or akai.. I do have Arturia's Spark software which has it's own decent sequencer, but it crashes, a lot. Have spoken to Arturia to no avail, they seem to keep updating everything for bug fixes *except* spark VI unfortunately. Anyway, if a maschine mikro MKII is a decent place to start with drum sequencing from a hardware controller, I'll get it.. The brand new one I found is really quite cheap.

7:54 Now see I don't actually think that's bad. When you think about it's not a bad deal IF you have an M32 or A25 and IF you can control all 9 parameters with the M32/A25's 8 knobs.. Even the Maschine Mikro by itself wouldn't be too bad BUT .. Native Instruments might as well just remove that encoder, it's effing useless. I mean I'm not gonna sit there and press left and right which is the equivalent of saying Hey, I'm in the browser, instead of using the mouse to click on a button, let me tab over to it and press enter! It's gonna be cool once or twice as a novelty but the slowness is going to eventually make it not worth it. What I might use the encoder for is to spin through different presets to hear them rather than use the arrow keys on the keyboard. but the problem I've found with M32/A25 is focus. The hardware controller doesn't have the same focus as the computer screen. So like if I choose tags in the computer and click on a preset.. or something like that.. The hardware doesn't always have the same focus, and I'll find myself having to shift press left or press the encoder and then rego through all of those tabs just to get to the presets that I was already at with the mouse. it's clunky at best.

Is it easier to structure a song with the newer versions of maschine?
@inigoalvarez30384 жыл бұрын
Great video, congratulations I have a little doubt, i have a maschin mikro MK2, but it is of much use, reason why it has begun to lose sensitivity in the pads. I have become very comfortable with using the software on the computer, so my question is whether it is worth making the jump to the Mikro MK3, or is it better to stick with Mikro MK2.

stick with MK2! you can't live chop samples on the Mikro mk3. It straight up has less capabilities!

Thanks but not sure what you mean re saving fax chains? That can be done in the software

I disagree. It doesn't matter where you are, it is called what it is called. Other than that, amazing work as always.

Can you still adjust the pad sensitivity on the Mikro mk3? Thanks

Is MK3 ok to run with Core i3-10th Gen and SSD hard drive? I purchased laptop recently not even thinking about MK3 and I don't want to change my laptop for now. I'm novice and Machine is something new for me and I want to start with this and I'm afraid there will be latency when I hit a pad the sound will appear late... :(

Hi, i already have a native Komplete Kontrol M32 key controller instrument. If I change the pad assignments, do the midi messages of the keyboard also change?
@unsungSwissHero Жыл бұрын
Hi, using the m32 together with my mk2 mikro. I always use it in "piano/keys" mode and the maschine switches between pads and keys independently. Only downside to the full maschine would be that the knobs have no labels

muito bom o vídeo, mesmo sem intender nada de inglês deu para intender só de ver. a mikro usa-se mais o software. Obrigado Deus abençoe.
