#MASCHINE LIBRARY EXTERNALLY SOFTWARE#
The hardware is not limited for sole use with the Maschine software, but is also compatible with Native Instruments’ Traktor DJ software, and music production software such as Ableton Live and FL Studio. The controller is powered and connected by USB, with each variation featuring 16 pressure sensitive pads and back-lit buttons. The Maschine controller is designed like a drum machine, similar to products like the Akai MPC. Maschine consists of a controller that connects to the included sequencing software, which can be installed on any compatible computer or laptop. Maschine is a hardware/software digital audio workstation developed by Native Instruments. However: this could be used as a sole Control for. Only as an intuitive mapping to use in coordination with another Controller.
