Native Instruments Maschine Special Sale

Berlin, May 5, 2014 – Native Instruments today launched A GIANT BEAT FOR
MANKIND – a limited-time sales special to celebrate the 5th anniversary
of MASCHINE. Until May 31, MASCHINE STUDIO, MASCHINE and MASCHINE MIKRO
will each be available at a significant discount from their regular
prices, both at retailers and at the NI Online Shop.

Launched in 2009, MASCHINE significantly changed computer based beat
production by merging the playability and feel of hardware with the
innovations and flexibility of software. In five years, MASCHINE has
established itself as the premium groove production tool for producers
across all genres. MASCHINE STUDIO, the latest addition to the product
range, is NI’s new flagship groove production studio. It provides
hardware controls for all key features in the latest MASCHINE 2
software, and these generous control options offer a particularly quick
and intuitive workflow. Features include large, high-res color screens
for viewing waveforms, patterns, scenes, and NI product visuals, plus a
dedicated section for monitoring mixer and meter levels.

MASCHINE and MASCHINE MIKRO are now in their second hardware generation.
MASCHINE features dedicated group buttons and a master push encoder.
Most software functions are accessible directly from the hardware
without any button shortcuts, offering users a fast way to capture
ideas. Eight display knobs automatically map to key instrument
parameters for on-the-fly tweaking and sound shaping. MASCHINE MIKRO is
highly compact for use anywhere. MIKRO features the same responsive pads
as MASCHINE STUDIO and MASCHINE. Intelligent keypad shortcuts mean users
get full software access despite its small footprint.

All three hardware versions feature the same powerful software. Among
the new features in MASCHINE 2 software are sidechaining, unlimited
groups, a new library, and a set of sonically-outstanding drum synths
that allow producers to quickly design their own drum sounds.

The A GIANT BEAT FOR MANKIND special offer is available only until May
31st 2014 at 24:00 (CET) at the NI Online Shop and at retailers while
supplies last.

During the offer period, the new flagship MASCHINE STUDIO will be
available for only $799 / 799 € / £659 / ¥ 92,800 – a discount of $200 /
200 € / £190 / ¥ 22,000. The offer price for the original MASCHINE is
$499 / 499 € / £399 / ¥ 57,800 – a $100 / 100 € / £100 / ¥ 12,000 price
drop. The compact ‘little brother’, MASCHINE MIKRO, is available for
