    Native Instruments Maschine MK3 Drum Controller

    The Native Instruments Maschine MK3 isn't just a drum controller — it's your complete beat-making command center wrapped up in one sleek, intuitive package. Redesigned from the ground up with bigger pads, dual high-resolution displays, and a built-in audio interface, this powerhouse transforms complex production workflows into effortless creative sessions.

    Native Instruments Maschine MK3 Your Studio Sidekick

    Your Studio Sidekick

    Whether you're laying down your first beat or crafting intricate arrangements, the MK3 puts professional-grade tools at your fingertips. Sample, sequence, mix, and perform without ever touching your mouse, thanks to thoughtfully placed controls and crystal-clear screens that keep you locked in the groove.

    • 16 Large Velocity-Sensitive Pads: These aren't your average trigger pads — they're bigger, more responsive, and maintain the natural hand position you need for everything from delicate finger taps to thunderous palm strikes.
    • Dual High-Resolution Color Displays: Edit samples, browse sounds, and tweak parameters directly on the hardware. No more squinting at your computer screen when you're in the zone.
    • Built-in Studio-Grade Audio Interface: Record at 96kHz/24-bit quality with balanced ins and outs, dedicated mic input, and high-powered headphone output — all powered by a single USB cable.
    • 8GB Sound Library + KOMPLETE 11 SELECT: Jump straight into production with a massive collection of sounds, from vintage drum machines to cutting-edge synths.

    Workflow That Makes Everything Easier

    The MK3's layout isn't just pretty — it's purposeful. Every button, knob, and pad has been strategically placed to keep your hands moving and your ideas flowing.

    • Touch-Sensitive Knobs: Eight capacitive knobs respond to your touch before you even turn them, giving you instant parameter feedback and lightning-fast sound shaping.
    • Multi-Function Smart Strip: This isn't just a pretty light show — use it to re-pitch samples, trigger effects, or strum chord progressions with expressive, real-time control.
    • 4-Directional Push Encoder: Navigate your entire sample library, select effects, and mix tracks with one-handed precision. It's like having a DJ's precision combined with a producer's toolkit.
    • Lock Mode Snapshots: Experiment fearlessly with the Lock button — take a snapshot of your project, twist every knob in sight, then snap back to your original settings instantly.

    Native Instruments Maschine MK3 Built for Beat Makers, Designed for Performers

    Built for Beat Makers, Designed for Performers

    The MK3 bridges the gap between studio production and live performance with hardware that's as comfortable on stage as it is in your home studio.

    • Bus-Powered Operation: No power adapter needed — plug in via USB and you're ready to create anywhere inspiration strikes.
    • Vintage MPC-Style Workflow: Swing, note repeat, and step sequencing bring that classic sampler feel to modern production capabilities.
    • Multi-Function Pads: Switch between Pad mode for beat-making, Keyboard mode for melodic work, or Chord mode to trigger full harmonies with single hits.
    • Professional Connectivity: MIDI I/O, expression pedal input, and balanced outputs mean the MK3 plays nice with your existing gear setup.
