Native Instruments Maschine MK3 Black

Native Instruments' Maschine combines computer-based production with a hardware groove box loaded with over 6GB of sample content. Works as both an instrument and a controller, with 16 pads, 11 rotary encoders, and 41 buttons. Build songs intuitively by layering, sample and re-sample together with your computer.

Because it's a plug-in that can be used in virtually any digital audio workstation, using Maschine is like using an MPC with the power and flexibility of software applications like Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, or SONAR.

With MIDI I/O and MIDI/MMC-over-USB, you can use Maschine as the control center for your entire studio. Use it as a master controller for your DAW and use it to control all your hardware sound modules and sequencers.
