The Mikro is definitely a nice addition 2 the Maschine family of hardware. Plus I'm loving the price, especially if it has the same functions as the previous versions. Also, I wouldn't call it a 'downgrade'. I think a better term would be 'scaled down'. I have been watching different companies re-size their bulkier hardware for years. For many users this move is a space saver. At the end of the day, it's all about preference. Great video. U make me want 2 run out and buy one. :-) Peace
Wow, I almost have enough money to buy the mk3 but until you introduced the mikro and with the price of 250, I decided imma go with that, because I really like maschine and wanna get into it way more. I’m currently an fl user but sometimes it’s cool to switch daws sometimes and get a different vibe and all that fr 🙏🏽🔥
Thank you for posting! I have NI M32 and thinking of getting Maschine. Had decided on the MK3 over the Mikro due too screens, workflow and $200 worth of audio interface capabilities. Now the $1,400 Maschine + just dropped. Now thinking Mikro for now and a Maschine + if I use it a lot in a year. Thoughts suggestions?
I’m in the same boat! I was about to go to the MK3 then the stand-alone came out. I guess it all depends on your workflow and goals. That’s what I’m going to be assessing in the next few months.
Thanks for the advice ! Ima save up rn I’m just on komplete 13 ultimate and a v49 alesis saving for a maschine even if it’s mk2 lol now you can buy the software alone at NI if u look ! Back then u couldn’t :)
Thanks for the video. I just found you and I’m a new follower. I heard you say you like making beats outside. Do you ever use iMaschine2 on an iPhone or iPad? If you have a video about that already please forgive me, I haven’t had a chance to look at all your vids. And if so how do you feel about the process of moving beats from iMaschine2 to MK3? I’ve had the app for about 6 months and it’s my first experience with beatmaking and I’m looking at the MK3 or mikro. Thanks again!
I still use my studio I have 3 different computer setups. The mikro will be my vacation beat maker that I will pair with the new kk A25 keyboards when it comes out for the mobile lab. I also did what you suggested and put my kk libraries on an external hard drive saved mad GBs on my computer
Good video man. Iv been looking at getting the mikro mk3 or the mk3. Obviously the mk3 is overall better but what would you suggest for me? In terms of beneficial. I dont sample, and I use splice for one shots and drop them on to my keyboard for playing. I want a drum machine but is it worth me buying the mk3 or if it's only really for one shits is it best I get the mikro? I used to own an MPC renaissance about 3 years ago but got rid of it because didn't use it close to its potential lol
I would say the Mikro should do for you. You' d be missing out on the screens which help with arrangement and what not but you can still arrange using the mikro and software.
Hi DDS Much thanks for all your Maschine content. Can you answerr a quick Maschine question please? Is it possable to install Maschine software and hardware, to 2 laptops? I just got a Mikro MK3 an I'm so excited to try it out on my current laptop, but I'm unsure if I will be able to install everything again on a new laptop. Thank you Have a great weekend.
Alright, help me out. I have the MKII S88 with Komplete 12 standard. I’m mainly interested in making R&B beats. My budget is $1,000-$1200. Should I get the MK3 with Omnisphere or the Mikro with Omnisphere, Trilian, and Keyscape?
Well, the Maschine isn't going to determine weather or not you can make R&B, the sounds will. I think that the Omni, Trillian, and keyscape will be great.
But some function can t be done with the Mikro mk3 … Like random settings are not available with the Mikro Or I didn’t find the function on the software but it seems that it’s only available on the maschine mk3 …
It would be nice if you could have compared the features of the two products a little more, rather than talking so much about your feelings about them. You mentioned the screens, but what else? Clicked on the video to hear more about the features and less about your backpack.
What I really don't like, is the downgraded software package. Only 1.6GB of basic Maschine library, you have to buy the full 8GB library. And no more Komplete Select in the bundle. The most important synths like Massive, Monarch and Prism are inside, but not the Komplete Select bundle. So the new micro ist not "that" cheap, if you want the same software bundle as the Mikro MK2. I wanted a Mikro MK3, but now I'm thinking about the Maschine MK3 which seems the better value for me. If that was the intention by NI...clever ;-)
The new „upgrade options“ have been released. 150€ for Komplete Select and the full Maschine factory library. That was all included in the Mikro MK2 package. So the new Mikro MK3 with the usual software bundle is 400€ compared to 300€ for the MK2.
I use Maschine as a plugin, so the Mikro may be for me. I have the MK1 and I want to upgrade, but I don't want to drop $600+on something I only use as a drum machine. I'lll probably go with the Mikro.
Never buy entry level devices unless u r 100% sure you need one. Better go for solid mid or top tier thing. Downgrading is way easier than the opposite.

I couldn’t have said it better than that! It’s all about personal preference.
@@jonasflint2569 screen is of the utmost importance.
Good review! I like the comparisons between the two with the MIKRO MK2 and MIKRO MK3 ,well explained
Thank you!
Couldn’t agree more man. Nice video!
Thank you for taking the time to watch Bro!

That’s exactly what I did. I left FL studio to try the Maschine Mikro and never looked back. Lol
don't forget to try using machine inside fl studio....works great
Cool stuff, thanx for the input. It helped.
Glad I could help
Just ordered mine-- already got MK3,,but need a portable on the go maschine,,,can’t wait
Exactly what I’m using mine for!
I’m just jumping in to NI. I’m coming from a mpc studio so I’m gonna go with the mikro and see how I like the work flow
Thanks for sharing. Helped a lot.
Glad I could help!
Your videos are awesome man
Thank You!
This was helpful! Thanks👍🏿

Hello bro, a question, to produce in the studio, what would you recommend, the komplete kontrol mk2 61 or the new s88 mk2?
Thanks for the video. I just found you and I’m a new follower. I heard you say you like making beats outside. Do you ever use iMaschine2 on an iPhone or iPad?

I’m glad you came across my channel! I don’t really like making beats on the phone. I take the Maschines out and work that way
DDS825 I can dig it. I gotta make a move. Thanks for replying. And please keep the vids coming!
I still use my studio I have 3 different computer setups. The mikro will be my vacation beat maker that I will pair with the new kk A25 keyboards when it comes out for the mobile lab. I also did what you suggested and put my kk libraries on an external hard drive saved mad GBs on my computer
It’ll be a beast on vacation lol. Yea I know that saved tons of space lol
How can i save my libraries to an external? I got a lot of expansions. Thanks!
What about the program does the mikro come with more kits n sounds?

Hi DDS

I just got a Mikro MK3 an I'm so excited to try it out on my current laptop, but I'm unsure if I will be able to install everything again on a new laptop.

Have a great weekend.
Hello, yes you can! I have Maschine on my Mac mini and mac book.
@@DDS825 Awesome
Thank you so much.
So excited to set it up, right now.
I have that mk2, plan to upgrade later this year
NICE! What are you upgrading to?
How do upgrades work with NI? Do the old units become bricks? Does ni offer any kind of deal?
what r the cons of Maschine MK3.. vs MPC Onecould u please review?
What about Lock feature do it have a page to store locks
I don’t see a button for it
It’s for me I don’t need a big maschine I had ,mikro 1 and it was a nice but the three is small.. that’s all I need with a laptop
Exactly! It works perfect with a laptop
Nice
ayyyyye is you the DDS that produce Dej early work?
I am
Love my Mk3 :)
Me too! Lol
I would like to see a review of the Komplete Kontrol S49/S61 MK2 with the Maschine Micro MK3.
I do have videos on both on the channel.
@@DDS825Yes, but how is the experience of working with the S49/S61 MK2 with Maschine Micro MK3 compared to Maschine MK3? Sounds like your next video.
Alright, help me out. I have the MKII S88 with Komplete 12 standard. I’m mainly interested in making R&B beats. My budget is $1,000-$1200. Should I get the MK3 with Omnisphere or the Mikro with Omnisphere, Trilian, and Keyscape?
Well, the Maschine isn't going to determine weather or not you can make R&B, the sounds will. I think that the Omni, Trillian, and keyscape will be great.
DDS825 damn man, thank you. I had already ordered the mk3 and Omnisphere. I thought you didn’t see my question. My stuff came in today
@@inksationalscreenprinting1266 It's all good man! The MK3 is way better than the mikro so you'll be fine lol
DDS825 lol ok. I’ll add Trilian and Keyscape in the near future. Thanks again
Do the mikro program the same as the mk3? I had Mk3 but i still have the program on my laptop. Can the mikro pick up the sound from MK3?
It’s the same software.
But some function can t be done with the Mikro mk3 …
Like random settings are not available with the Mikro
Or I didn’t find the function on the software but it seems that it’s only available on the maschine mk3 …
I am a MPC-User but this was helpful
Glad it was helpful!
@@DDS825 for sure
Free stuff
U selling one of those mikros?
Not currently
Does the mikro has midi mode?
I believe it does. I’ll have to check.
DDS825 please check. One other reviewer said he couldn't get the beta version to work with other DAWs as a midi controller.
MIDI is currently not implemented yet
That tiny A$$ screen tho! 😂 Thats the deal breaker for me!
Super tiny 😂 But it’s not too bad for a portable set up because you’ll have your laptop lol
give away ur studio if u dont use it, a brotha needs one lol
Can we access all the feature in Mikro as MK3 ?
Yes, you just don't have the screens at the top.
It would be nice if you could have compared the features of the two products a little more, rather than talking so much about your feelings about them. You mentioned the screens, but what else? Clicked on the video to hear more about the features and less about your backpack.
It’s the exact same Maschine minus the screen.

I use Maschine as a plugin, so the Mikro may be for me.
I have the MK1 and I want to upgrade, but I don't want to drop $600+on something I only use as a drum machine.
I'lll probably go with the Mikro.
If you’re only going to use it on the drums, then that makes sense.
@@DDS825 think I'm having a change of heart.
It doesn't have any screens.
Very annoying.
MrMakemusicmike it has a very small one that isn’t comparable to the screens on the MK3
You seem like a nice enough guy but there was only about 12 seconds of helpful information in this 8 min video lol (at 3:35)...we get it, its smaller
Save ya cheese my niggaz....just got off the phone with NI THEY SAID A NEW STUDIO COMING SOON IN 2019 with 3.0🔥🤮🤢🔥💯🤮🤢✊🏽🇲🇦
Lmao you know more than me.
Never buy entry level devices unless u r 100% sure you need one. Better go for solid mid or top tier thing. Downgrading is way easier than the opposite.
I went to the library to make some beats?? 🥸😂
It's the perfect place to make "some noise"
