The next generation of MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware is coming! Starting today, Native Instruments’ MASCHINE Mk3 and KOMPLETE KONTROL Mk2 S49 / S61 now available to pre-order at native-instruments.com with both set to be released October 5th.

Both have been re-engineered to give producers everything they need to create and keep on creating.

“We’ve learned from artists and our users that the biggest challenge in creative work isn’t one of getting started, but of keeping going,” explains MASCHINE Product Owner Chris La Pietra. “We developed these new products in tandem to address this problem: Beyond sparking inspiration, they fuel the whole creative process – they help users get in the zone and stay there. They feel great, they integrate with existing setups, and they make music production as fun, intuitive, and hands-on as possible.”
