#THE MASCHINE NATIVE INSTRUMENTS SOFTWARE#

The 2.0 version of the software added multi-core CPU support, a new audio engine, the removal of plugin limits, and other upgrades to UI and audio effects. All functions can be performed without the use of a mouse, and instead directly from the hardware itself. The software also includes tools to capture and manipulate audio samples in real-time. Users assign drum kits, instruments, and sounds from the included library to each of the controller's 16 pads, and can manipulate sounds further by applying effects and plugins. The software is primarily based on drum sequencing and designed for use with the Maschine line of hardware controllers. The Maschine software is designed to be used as a standalone production studio, or utilized as a plugin within a digital audio workstation.

It can also work with the usual Maschine software, which will be updated to a new version allowing the addition of clips on a linear timeline. The hardware features WiFi capabilities to exchange sounds and files with a computer.
