The finish is very classy too, though, in my opinion, the Maschine is a cut above. Product Design: Bottom Line Big, bold, and in your face, the larger pads create more room for complex moves like flams and rolls. New technological updates to the Native Instruments Maschine MK3make the pads more sensitive to lighter touches, for more expressive playing. And since the center-to-center distance is exactly the same, your muscle memory and workflow don’t have to change. Native Instruments Maschine's 16 ultra-responsive pads makes it fun and easy to play. In Pad mode, drum in beats or lightly brush sounds on the 16 ultra-responsive pads. Switch to Keyboard mode and play like a piano. And in Step mode, program sounds precisely where you want them, and automate pitch, volume, LFO, or any other parameter step by step for incredibly intricate and musical results in record time.

In Group mode each pad represents one Sound of the Group. Group mode is typically used for drum kits. You can adjust various parameters of the mode via the displays and the surrounding Buttons and Knobs. The right display shows you the Sound triggered by each pad. You can use Buttons 5–8 to adjust the Base Key, which sets the key (pitch) triggered for each Sound in the Group, and Knobs 1–4 under the left display to set the Choke and Link group settings. Please refer to the Maschine Manual for more information on these features. By pressing PAD MODE again, you can hide its parameters from the displays and return to your previous workflow while keeping Group mode activated on your pads; as a reminder, the PAD MODE button will stay lit as long as your pads are in Group mode. Press SHIFT + PAD MODE to switch your pads to Group mode without switching the displays to the mode parameters.
