Native Instruments Maschine MK3
NEW LOOK. EQUAL FLOW. The new MASCHINE makes the classic groovebox workflow even faster and more intuitive. The hardware has been optimized on the basis of customer requirements and extended by numerous new features: for even more speed and focus, with constant flow. New PAD Size The larger pads offer more space for complex moves, such as flams and rolls. Thanks to new technology, the pads are now more touch-sensitive and allow even more nuanced playing. A gentle movement also has such a great effect. And because the center distance between the pads has remained exactly the same, you don't have to retrain. HIGH RESOLUTION COLOUR DISPLAYS The two high-resolution colour displays and the 4-directional push encoder make it possible to navigate through sounds, effects, plug-ins and instruments with just one hand - easy to control and load directly from the hardware. On the displays you can also see the arrangement, mix and waveforms of the samples: zoom in, cut, edit, and you're done. PROFESSIONAL AUDIO INTERFACE The new MASCHINE is equipped for the first time with a high-quality audio interface (96 kHz/24-bit) for brilliant sound. Simply connect a synth or dynamic microphone and record. Stereo inputs and outputs as well as MIDI ports make MASCHINE the heart of every studio setup. The new MASCHINE is powered via USB, so you can be creative with your laptop anywhere. And if you use the supplied power supply, the pads will shine even brighter. FASTER WORKFLOW With the new hardware layout, the most important functions are even more important: for more focus and faster implementation of ideas. Some of the most frequently used features are no longer hidden behind a shift button, but can be started directly with just one keystroke. Features Integrated hardware/software system includes sampler, arranger, mixer, FX, and more 8 GB MASCHINE library with samples, one-shots, sliced loops, sampled instruments, presets, patterns, drum kits, and songs Includes 25 GB KOMPLETE 11 SELECT library – see opposite for details 25 pro-quality studio and creative FX including filter, EQ, delay, reverb and compressor 2 high-resolution RGB color displays for precision sample slicing, sound tweaking, note editing, mixing, browsing, and more 16 large, ultra-sensitive pads make two-handed drumming easy Pro-grade, 96 kHz / 24-bit audio interface with 2 x ¼” TRS line outputs, 2 x ¼” TRS line inputs, ¼” dynamic mic input, stereo headphone output, 1 x MIDI In, 1 x MIDI out; 1 x Footswitch Touch sensitive knobs for parameter tweaking Smart Strip for strumming notes, pitch bending sounds, performing with FX, and more Four-directional push encoder for browsing, navigating, adjusting levels and balance Powered via USB 2.0 or with the included power supply unit Seamless integration with KOMPLETE Classic groovebox features including 16 velocity levels, swing, pad link, note repeat, step sequencer, and vintage MPC 60/SP 1200 sampling emulation Compatible with all major DAWs (including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and FL Studio) as a VST or Audio Units plug-in with full multi-core support

What are samplers?
A sampler is an instrument that can store existing sounds, tones, noises, and sounds and then replay them.
Sounds can be captured or loaded at will and implemented in real-time. The most well-known example of this process is a Loop Station, which allows for the direct recording and playback of improvisational sounds on stage or in studios. With a sampler, short sound samples can be created and digitally converted.
A bit of history
The first samplers appeared on the market in 1979 and quickly dominated the entire music business throughout the 1980s. At that time, memory capacities were extremely limited, with only a few seconds, and the purchase costs were exorbitant - usually in the five-figure price range, affordable only to large recording studios.
In the early 1990s, memory became gradually cheaper and more affordable, allowing even average musicians to afford samplers. This led to a triumph, and samplers began to flood into studios all over the world.
In particular, the Hip Hop genre was defined by legendary samplers like the Akai MPC-60 or E-MU SP-1200.
Today, memory has become so affordable and processors so powerful that even a smartphone could be used for complete studio productions.
Current hardware samplers are performance tools that serve the creative flow. Ideal for those who prefer to sit in front of real pads and buttons rather than using the mouse and keyboard.
Fit for stage and studio: Samplers tailored to your needs
A pure sampler allows you to unleash your creativity. You determine which sounds to integrate into your music, record them, and edit them according to your preferences. With a sample player, on the other hand, you have access to a large library of stored sounds with which you can compile your mix.
Samplers
If you want to dynamically shape your live performance, you're on the right track with the Korg Volca Sample. You can record up to 100 sounds simultaneously and edit them in real-time and "on-the-fly". With this tool, you're guaranteed to thrill your audience. The large memory capacity and the sampling frequency of 31.25 kHz offer sufficient flexibility for all kinds of events. The Korg-Sample is complemented by a long battery life.
Sample player
The Akai Force is a top-class DJ sampler. It works without the need for an additional PC and synchronizes loops and samples in real-time. You have the option to connect a SATA hard drive as an input source, use a USB medium, or record directly via the audio inputs. The Multi-Touch display offers great comfort during your session. Additionally, you can import multiple mashups simultaneously. You have 10 GB of sounds to choose from.
With the Boss RC-202, both beginners and professionals can rely on a sample player with simple and intuitive operation. To create your own sound, you can choose from pre-produced rhythms that you can integrate flexibly. The integrated Loop Station is activated via a foot control, allowing you to have your hands free for other musical instruments at any time. Especially as a DJ in a club or as a beatboxer, you'll have a lot of fun with this Boss sampler.
For the stage, your own studio, or professional recordings, the sample player is the right choice.
Structure and Function of Samplers
A sampler doesn't have to be a huge device to record and play back sounds. The biggest challenge is to reproduce the sound as faithfully as possible. Whether it's voices, sounds from nature, or everyday life, the principle remains the same from small loop stations to models with high-resolution displays. Sampling nowadays is almost exclusively digital.
A sampler is used in three phases. The first step is planning, which involves assessing the technical effort and considering external conditions. The recording itself - the second step - must be started under certain conditions. Subsequently, in the third part, comes the editing, where the sounds are incorporated.
Sounds are captured and stored via an integrated microphone. In sampling devices, the memory capacity is variable, and sampling rates range from 44 to 192 kHz. This creates qualitative differences. An analog-to-digital converter then samples the sound and prepares it for processing. Subsequently, it can be integrated into an existing sound as desired, creating a new song.
