Reviews

"The colour-coding certainly qualifies mkII as a significant upgrade over mkI" - Future Music

"The Maschine MkII makes concrete improvements to an already solid, flixible music production platform. This should entice novice producers with its all-in-oneness and tempt initiated music makers to incorporate it into a larger setup." - DJ Tech Tools

"The pad's aftertouch breathes extra life into those traditional Maschine note-repeats. - Sound on Sound
