Native Instruments had a bit of a sleeper hit with Maschine. It started off slowly but in the two and a half years since its release it’s managed to cause quite a stir. Now, Maschine Mikro is the new kid on the block; is a cut down version of the beat making machine a DJs dream?

THE BOTTOM LINE
If you use Mikro as a groove box and integrate it into your set that way, then it’s great value providing you have the horsepower to run the Maschine software alongside your DJ software of choice. If you’re just planning to use it as a MIDI controller, it’s a bit of a waste of money.
