Native Instruments Maschine 3.4

Maschine is all about getting your musical ideas flowing. It’s a hybrid music production platform that merges beat-making and sampling with DAW features and it’s ideal for everything from quick sketches to full-track production. 

Maschine 3 is the latest generation of Maschine software. It introduces hotly-requested features like stem separation, modernized modulation editor, MIDI editing, per-scene tempo adjustments, and much more.
