Maschine comes with its standard drum and bass synths, as well as some onboard effects. The only thing I can critique without having access to the device is its selection of sounds. There’s an SD card slot with an included 64GB card. There’s a dedicated Clips button to accommodate the software’s new feature, and the touch strip now also lights up to reflect the current beat measure during playback. Also, Maschine+ supports Ableton Link right out of the gate, and you can register, update, and download sounds entirely from the device. For a start, the main encoder now works like a joystick in four directions. There’s also a ton of improvements that seasoned users are likely to appreciate. The metallic gray finish gives it a very nuanced look. Many design elements are either new or significantly more high-end than previous versions of the device. It also looks gorgeous, like an MPC60 designed by Bang & Olufsen. I’m sure someone will figure out a way to port Doom to it within a month, regardless. Maschine+’s “no computers allowed” approach is facilitated by a built-in Linux computer, though the user can not access the computer itself. Going completely laptopless means that Maschine is finally in a league entirely its own, just like when the original was first announced back in 2009.

Until recently, Maschine was a universally beloved device, but not one without competition, particularly from Ableton with the Push 2.

The new Maschine+ officially hits the stores on October 1st, 2020. It’s called Maschine+ and is currently available for pre-order at most major retailers. Native Instruments have just announced that a fully standalone Maschine device that now works on its own, without a laptop, for the first time. Native Instruments introduces Machine+, a fully standalone beat making workstation that doesn’t require a computer connection.
