New Native Instruments Maschine Controller (Video)
September 6, 2011
Native Instruments has finally joined the ranks of every other company who has made a successful music production piece with the creation of the Maschine Mikro.

Like Akai with the MPCs 500 and 1000 this joint is smaller and has many of the same capabilities. Time will tell how this joint will fair in the market place tough.
