and for those interested in a comparison to Push 2:

He notes:

It’s been said you can’t compare the MASCHINE MK3 to the Ableton Push 2, but I disagree. It’s true that in terms of software, Ableton Live is the more comprehensive DAW, and that the MASCHINE software is more of groovebox oriented approach.

But when you want to choose your beat making controller to accompany your DAW, the choice isn’t that obvious.

"Native Instruments could simply have added some color screens and be done with it, but they’ve achieved something much more difficult: improving a classic without losing the essence of what made the original it so great."

Delivered Today. Bye MK2... no fanfare....

Maschine MK3 review: Less like a MIDI controller and more like an instrument
http://www.factmag.com/2017/10/01/nativ ... k3-review/

clip...
"The main cosmetic difference is the two high-resolution color screens. ... These displays are primarily used for browsing sounds and tweaking effects in tandem with the eight knobs, but also for controlling a graphical mixer and editing your patterns..."

"Another eye-catching improvement is the MK3’s drum pads. They’re bigger and feel better to play,... The note repeat button has also been made larger..., and the volume, swing and tempo buttons are now clustered around it. These are subtle changes, but make a huge difference to the speed and ease at which you can naviagate the controller."

"The third most obvious change is a new touch strip on the left of the unit. It’s similar to those found on last year’s Maschine Jam controller, but this one has dedicated buttons for different functions: pitch, modulation, effects and notes. "
