The interface also has 50-60% higher round trip latency than the AudioBox 96, Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen) and M-Audio AIR 192|4 - all of which I have here for direct comparison with the Maschine MK3.

It does have an audio interface built-in, but the inputs are so quiet that any budget interface like a PreSonus AudioBox 96 or M-Audio AIR 192|4 will absolutely blow it away when it comes to sampling through the interface or driving headphones.

If that isn't the case, then the MK3 is a waste of money.

And again, this workflow statement only applies if the OP is going to be doing most of their production in Maschine 2.

It's the same as the Mikro, the Mikro just has the top 40% cut off.

There's nothing about the layout that does that.

Use Focus Mode or Do Not Disturb on your Computer.You're getting it mostly for the Pads, in that case, so you cut out all that hardware and get the controller that delivers what you want/need and discards what you don't while passing the savings onto you - Maschine Mikro MK3. For people who use these devices primarily with a DAW, having the screens, knobs and buttons on the Maschine Controller isn't really a huge gain - as they aren't very useful there. They aren't going to work the way an S Series works in a DAW with the Komplete Kontrol plug-in. If you're using this primarily with a DAW, then the screens are borderline worthless because Maschine Controllers are NOT Komplete Kontrol Controllers.The Screens are nice, when used with Maschine+.It has a much better sampling workflow than a Maschine Mikro, but it is locked to the MPC Software (AFAICT). If you're just going to use Maschine for Sampling and as a Drum Maschine/Sequencer, then that controller while running MPC 2 as a plug-in is a totally viable option. OP decides based on if and how he will use the Maschine 2 software.Īlso, he should mention what DAW he's using because some vendors have cheap first-party solutions that would probably work well enough: PreSonus Atom, for example. It's the same workflow as a Maschine+, just requiring a PC/Tablet running Maschine 2.

The MK3 is designed to deliver a standalone workflow in a bus powered form factor. If I were going to be producing in Maschine 2, then I'd get the MK3. I'd get a Mikro to use in a DAW if I just wanted to use Maschine as a plug-in (basically as a drum sampler/sequencer) but also needed pads that worked with my DAW's native drum sampler (Groove Agent, Drum Machine Designer, Kong, Drum Racks, Impact XT, etc.). I wouldn't get a Mikro to use with Maschine Software.
