If it’s depth you’re looking for, this is where you’ll find it.A mini beatmaker with massive workflow enhancements, MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 is the perfect entry to the MASCHINE groove production family. Live 10 is one of the best DAWs out there, and won’t find better Live control than that offered by Push. With a healthy dose of included software and onboard I/O, Maschine Mk3 is great value, versatile and self-contained. As a result, you’ll need to shell out considerably more for the full Live/Push experience, even factoring in the need to buy a basic DAW to host Maschine. Push ships with Live Intro but, realistically, you’ll need to upgrade to at least Standard, if not Suite, to get the most out of it. It also includes the full Maschine application, plus Komplete Select, which includes Massive, Monark, some solid effects and a decent crop of Kontakt instruments. Maschine has an RRP £100 lower than Push. Here, although Maschine has grown into an exceptionally deep production environment, Live ultimately wins out through the sheer fact of being a full DAW that includes audio recording and editing (although these areas aren’t particularly well covered by Push.) Value Ultimately, any argument over depth comes down to the software end. Beat making, sampling and creative endeavours are served best, but both also offer decent mixing facilities and some arrangement control.

Workflowīoth offer exceptionality tight control over much of their associated software. The same goes for MIDI I/O, which is present on Maschine Mk3 but not Push 2. It’s a fairly basic 2-in, 2-out affair and unlikely to replace your current studio interface, but its inclusion makes Maschine Mk3 far more self-contained. Maschine has a built-in audio interface, too.

The drop in brightness is more significant with Push than Maschine, to the point that you’ll likely find yourself wanting to plug Push in whenever possible.

Maschine Mk3 and Push 2 support optional power supplies, meaning that both can run solely on USB power, but you’ll need to plug into the mains to get full brightness from the screens and pads. Both controllers are very capable in the pad department, although hip-hop heads and those raised on the classic MPC workflow will likely gravitate towards Maschine.
