Maschine has long been the go-to for producers who want hands-on control without losing digital flexibility. With version 3.4, Native Instruments continues to refine that balance, giving users powerful new editing options that feel both familiar and fast.

At the heart of the update is a redesigned modulation editor, which now includes curve drawing, marquee selection, and point editing. These tools give producers expressive, DAW-style precision while maintaining Maschine’s signature speed and simplicity.

Other updates focus on refining the creative experience. On desktop, new workflow tools like grid snapping, drag-to-edit, and fresh UI visuals make navigating projects more intuitive. For Maschine+ users, the update unlocks compatibility with several Play Series instruments and effects, allowing more music-making to happen completely standalone.

Highlights of Maschine 3.4

  • Modernized modulation editor: Draw smooth curves with the pencil tool, adjust multiple points simultaneously, and shape automation with precision.
  • Refined desktop workflow: Grid snapping, drag-to-edit, updated colors, keyboard shortcuts, and a cleaner UI make production faster and more enjoyable.
  • Expanded Maschine+ support: Run Play Series instruments and effects directly on Maschine+ with bounce-in-place to help manage CPU use.
  • Newly compatible content: Includes 24K Keys & Drums, Discoteca Keys & Drums, Empire Breaks, Duets, Feel It, Kontakt Factory Selection 2, plus effects like Replika, Driver, and Tape Wobble.

A Note for Maschine+ Users
Play Series compatibility is unlocked for existing owners. A valid license for each instrument or effect is required to use them on Maschine+ devices. For best results with sample-based instruments, Native Instruments recommends a high-speed SD card.

Whether you produce in the studio or on the go, Maschine 3.4 makes it easier than ever to stay in the creative flow.
