We did a full first look at the Maschine Studio + 2.0 software here, but in a nutshell, the 2. All new purchasers of a Maschine MK2 or Maschine Mikro MK2 now get the 2.0 software – so if you’re already updating the software and want to move to MK2 hardware, take that route instead.

Of course, there’s plenty of Maschine users out there just looking to score the new 2.0 software update – for current Maschine 1.x users the upgrade to 2.0 is a quick (whoops, that’s just the installer!) digital download, but it costs $99. Well we know how Native Instruments is celebrating Halloween this year: instead of putting out jack-o-lanterns and playing spooky noises they made with Komplete, they’re launching the new Maschine 2.0 software and pushing the $999 Maschine Studio into stores a day early. MASCHINE Software lets you effortlessly produce beats, melodies, and harmonies with powerful drum synths, premium sounds, an integrated sampler, and more.
