MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument

MASCHINE+ is a sampler, a drum machine, a synth, and an on-stage superpower. In short, it's whatever you make it. Leave the laptop behind, jam with your other gear, and create beats in minutes with a wealth of on-board sounds, instruments, and effects.
It's the iconic MASCHINE workflow, with fewer strings attached.

Do it Standalone
Standalone means more focus, more freedom, and more music making. Plug in, power up, and get creating straight away in the embedded MASCHINE+ production environment - from first ideas to finished tracks. Dial in effects to tweak your sounds, or sample audio and make it your own with an intuitive interface designed to keep the creative juices flowing. And if you want to bring your ideas into a DAW, copy them over, and boot up the MASCHINE software on your computer to pick up where you left off.

9 Instruments, 35 Effects, and Thousands of Sounds on Board
As well as its classic groovebox workflow, MASCHINE+ includes MASCHINE+ Selection: A dedicated package of nine synths and sampled instruments, 35 effects, and seven Expansions (including two of your own choosing) that work seamlessly in standalone mode. It includes heavy-hitters like MASSIVE, FM8, MONARK, PRISM, the MASCHINE Factory Selection, RAUM, and PHASIS. That means its 16 pads can sound like a dusty vintage drumkit, a warped wavetable lead, or an organic modal synth - pretty much anything you can think of if you flex your sound design skills.

Sample and Sequence Everything
Whether you're digging records or ripping radio edits, record any sound into MASCHINE+ and quickly chop and stretch the results into your own custom kits. Or transform and twist them in real-time with the Audio plug-in. The same goes for guitars, vocals, drums, and anything else - more sounds means more creative ways to make music.

Made to be Played
Bring real expression to live performances with intuitive control over your music - tap out beats, run arpeggiators, or tweak synth melodies in real time. MASCHINE+ is an intuitive live sequencer, a fully-fledged groovebox, and a powerful performance synthesizer rolled into one.

Introducing Clips
Clips let you arrange your ideas with even more freedom. Create transitions across scenes, add unique variation to patterns, record MIDI directly into the full arrangement, and freely add audio wherever you need it. Once you've fleshed out your ideas, you can use MASCHINE+ as a powerful tool to push tracks past the finish line.

Connect and Control Your Setup
Play and sequence outboard gear and capture the results, or manipulate external audio in real time with effects. MASCHINE+ can control, mix, and manipulate the rest of your setup with MIDI, line, and mic inputs to bring everything together instantly. And if you want to work with a computer, it doubles up as a classic MASCHINE controller too.

Sync and Add Sounds Wirelessly
MASCHINE+ is Wi-Fi enabled, which means you can install new sounds, instruments, and effects at the touch of a button, without a computer in sight. When it comes to jamming with others or playing out live, keep in sync with other music apps, DAWs, and compatible gear with Ableton Link.

Note: early versions of OS were buggy to the point of unusable. The update in march 2022 pretty much solved all the problems. Many users complain about the CPU bottleneck, but you need to understand that running Native Instruments vsts in a standalone unit is a lot to ask, and work within the limits. This is one reason user reviews are so varied - if you like using certain cpu-expensive plugins, you will run out of power faster. You can very quickly and very enjoyably cook up some sophisticated and lush beats and arrangements in standalone mode. But you need to understand that for really fleshing out and finishing a track, you'll need to migrate to the PC, just like with any other music created on synth hardware. By straddling the hardware/daw border, this unit opens its self to criticism for not being a powerful enough daw. But if you treat it like a groove box, you'll find that it's an exceptionally awesome one. Very fun to use, extremely high quality physical feel, and ridiculous amounts of modulation and flexible work flow. My biggest criticism is just one that applies to native instruments generally - many of their synths lack a straight forward amp envelope.

I tried the Maschine plus for almost 8 months and am an electronic music performer. This gear is amazing but has a lot of bugs. It has a CPU overload error when using most instruments except the drums. Would buy again if Native Instruments fixes the bug that makes it shuts down constantly
