Native Instruments Maschine Plus Standalone Production and Performance Instrument

Native Instruments Maschine Plus Standalone Production and Performance Instrument 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 onboard 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. Plugin, power up, and get creating straight away in the embedded Maschine Plus 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 Plus includes Maschine Plus 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 Plus 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 mean 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 Plus 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 Plus 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 Plus 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 Plus 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.

Add Even More with Expansions

Need more sounds? Expansions are great for giving Maschine Plus some sonic love, with presets for its synths, one-shot samples, loops, and kits. The catalog is always expanding, and getting the latest sounds is quick and easy just download and they’re ready to roll.
