Learn your new Maschine MK3

With the release of the Maschine MK3, Native Instruments have upped the ante with the extent to which production tasks can be carried out directly from the hardware making it less like a midi controller or beat machine and more of a production instrument.

This course is designed to help you take full advantage of these features, presenting new and practical opportunities to streamline your workflow and – more excitingly – enjoy a more naturally creative production process.

COURSE OVERVIEW

In this 20-part video course, experienced sound designer, Jonny Strinati shows you how to use the Maschine MK3 to write, record, edit, mix, arrange and more – all directly from the hardware.

By the end of this course you’ll be competent at navigating around the controller; browsing and loading sounds, instruments, groups and projects; adding effects to sounds and groups; using the Maschine mixer to balance your sounds and using the keyboard and chords mode to add melodic content.

You’ll also be able to confidently work with different grid settings; work with the sampler to record and edit your own audio; understand scenes and sections and how to create a basic arrangement; customise the pad mode for enhanced playability and beat creation; set up and use the perform FX, Lock Mode, Notes mode and macros; plus much much more!
