Improved Pads, Smart Strip Integration
If Maschine MK3 pads seem to be placed closer together than on previous incarnations, they are -- it's because the MK3 pads are actually larger. They've also been made more sensitive than in the past, making for easier, more accurate finger drumming, especially when using two hands.
Maschine MK3 adds the innovative Smart Strip control also found on Maschine Jam. This strip lets you easily bend pitch, "strum" notes, and control your effects parameters. A row of LED lights just above the Smart Strip makes it easy to find even in dark clubs.

Well Connected
One of the most useful additions Maschine MK3 boasts is its integrated 96 kHz/24-bit audio interface, which consists of stereo 1/4" inputs, a 1/4" dynamic mic input, stereo 1/4" outputs and a 1/4" headphone output. All this -- plus the included 8 GB of samples, drums and loops from Native Instruments Komplete -- makes Maschine MK3 incredibly easy to get started on right out of the box. No need for an external interface or sample library!
And if you do already have a robust studio setup at home, you'll be happy to know that Maschine MK3 is compatible with all major DAWs and offers advanced integration with your Komplete software and controllers.

Better Looking than Ever
Maschine MK3 boasts two high-res, full-color displays, giving you a supremely clear view of your samples and slicing and mixing controls. Pair those screens with the new four-directional push encoder knob, and navigation is as seamless and user-friendly as ever, smoothing out your workflow and eliminating any obstacles that get in the way of music creation.
