Slimmer, Simpler, More Expressive

Less is sometimes more - MIKRO was designed to make making music with your laptop even easier. So you can concentrate on the most important thing: A fast realization of your own ideas!
In the right place at the right time - MIKRO's controls are dedicated buttons that provide direct access to the most common functions, making it a breeze to select your favorite sounds and quickly switch between different playing styles.

Discover new ways to express yourself musically - swipe your fingers across the Smart Strip to strum, change sounds, or experiment creatively with effects. Combined with the new, larger pads, making music just feels better than ever!

Four modes, many possibilities

The 16 pads of the Native Instruments MASCHINE Mikro MK3 are not only pretty to look at thanks to the backlighting, but also hide quite a few things under their hood. For beats, the pad mode is suitable, providing special color coding for kicks, snares and other sounds. Melodies can be played in via the Keyboard mode, while the Chord mode is all about inspiring chord progressions. And Step mode lets you build beats and patterns with the 16 pads in the style of a classic step sequencer - grooving, playing, arranging made easy.
