Every customer who buys a Maschine Jam between 27.04. - 04.06.2018 gets 7 expansions worth more than 300,- € for free after registration!
The NI Maschine JAM Production and Performance System offers intuitive sequencing and track building in an ultra-modern design. The Maschine JAM allows users to create and manipulate drum sequencing and digital audio using an 8x8 multicolour click-pad matrix and 8 dual-touch Smart Strips, presenting a more pleasing and natural alternative to mouse and keyboard. As it can also be engaged as an advanced DAW controller, this “hands on” approach can be carried over into production and post-production activities.
The 8x8 Click-Pad Matrix is an extremely versatile tool, able to generate drum-patterns and arrangements with ease. Melodies and Chords can also be played on the Matrix, acting in a similar capacity as a standard keyboard. One-Touch access to patterns and scenes can also be applied with the pads of the Matrix.
Looking for a fresh way to create music? The LED-Guided Dual-Touch Smart Strips can be used to play notes and sounds, or adjust up to 8 parameters simultaneously with two hands for unique composition and design possibilities.
The unified hardware and software in the JAM (and, indeed, all Maschine controllers) means that performance of the unit is seamless and therefore never distracting from productivity. Included with the Maschine JAM is the MASCHINE 2.5 software (cutting-edge Drum Synths and a 9GB sound library) and Komplete 11 SELECT (featuring MASSIVE, REAKTOR PRISM, MONARK, THE GENTLEMAN, DRUMLAB, RETRO MACHINES MK2, VINTAGE ORGANS, DISCOVERY SERIES: WEST AFRICA, SCARBEE MARK 1, SOLID BUS COMP & REPLIKA), as well as a choice of 2 MASCHINE Expansions from the Native Instruments web site once the JAM has been registered. This totals an incredible 34GB of data straight out of the box.
Fully compatible with the entire KOMPLETE and MASCHINE ranges and 3rd party plug-ins with NKS support, the JAM can also be used as a controller for virtually any DAW software. This coupled with the fact that the ever growing range of MASCHINE Expansion sets available online guarantee years of inspiration whatever kind of music you are involved with makes this release an enticing proposition for any musician.
Ive had the Maschine Jam for about a month and have had a lot of fun with it so far.
It obviously works perfectly in Maschine and is a great creative tool for sequencing and sculpting sounds.
Ive tried it in Ableton, and it seems to work quite well as a midi controller in there too. For the features vs price ratio its hard to beat. :)
Didn't know much about the Maschine Jam before I bought it. Only that it would be nice for controlling some synth-software I often use. Well it is really nice for that. Great to be able to move multiple controllers at the same time. Thats very difficult to do with knobs, but not with faders as those on the Maschine Jam.
Well, then I discovered the Machine software included (download). Wow, that is very interesting. Its a DAW in itselfs, build very differently from what I am used to. But its also a DAW that can be used in my other DAW. In the beginning its very hard to learn to use, but when getting used to it (after spending hours on youtube). It has almost endless possiblities.
Wow. I will spend many hours on this. Not like my other hardware tools that I only use for a few weeks. This is huge, and I tend to think that I will buy more hardware in the maschine series in the future.
Well I dont work for Native Instruments, Music Store or any other seller. I just love this product,
