The MIKRO chassis is a more portable version of MASCHINE that scales back the screen capabilities and size while still offering 16 large, multi-colored, illuminated pads that are velocity-sensitive—making it easy to sequence drum patterns, bass lines, loops, etc. Plus, with color-coding, you can assign certain colors to certain instruments so you'll always know what's what without having to test it. Additional features include a  compact display, a push encoder, a dual-touch Smart Strip, and dedicated buttons for navigation, scene, pattern, events variation, duplicate, select, solo, mute, and transport controls.

The MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 provides the flexibility of computer-based music production with straightforward, two-handed control for composing, performing, browsing, sampling, slicing, sound-shaping, and tweaking effects. Expand your sound with the optional 8GB MASCHINE factory library and KOMPLETE SELECT with 25GB of instruments and effects. What's more, there is the ever-expanding library of optional MASCHINE Expansions available. The Native Instruments MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 is powered via USB and a cable is included.

Native Instruments MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 Reviews

Phenomenal Drum Pad with Maschine expansions for the win

By Matthew
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-12-27

This is truly a wonderful drum pad. The responsiveness and range of expansions sound libraries is perfect for my usage. I actually prefer using the new Maschine 3.0 software over other DAW systems. It's streamlined, easy to use and actually a better workflow than larger DAW systems. Perfect for everything I need. Love it so much that I also ordered the full MK3, will be using the Mikro for traveling. Well done.

Just what I needed
