Opening the box up, you get everything you need to get started (which isn’t much, admittedly). We’ve already spoken about plastic waste in the music industry, so I applaud the Maschine team for that ecologically inclined sentiment.

Gone is the glossy full-colour box with comically oversized quick-start guide. First impressionsīefore we go into whats IN the box, lets talk about how the Mikro is packaged. The third revision of the compact, fully bus powered, portable hardware/software hybrid that includes the full Maschine 2.7 groove software, featuring a multi-touch strip, larger velocity-sensitive RGB pads, and a new design.

With that said, I think we’ve set the tone for how this review approaches the Maschine Mikro MK3. Since December 2016, both Maschine 2.5.5+ and T raktor Pro 2.11+ have sported Ableton Link, allowing them to be accurately and quickly synced up, either on the same computer, or across wired and wireless networks. “It pretty much already is…” the wind whispers, in reply. “ When will we see Maschine integrate with Traktor?” I hear rattling around the internet, echoing like in a desert canyon, littered with cattle skulls and tumbleweeds.
