OK, so here’s another NI expansion for Maschine, specifically for Maschine 2.0, and it’s aimed at ambient, left-feild, downtempo-electro goodness
Think ambient electronica with some lofi grit sprinkled on top
If you like airy, gritty, ambient vibes, then you definitely will want to checkout this new expansion.
Comes with a bunch of kits, full of drums, chords, riffs, and percussion. They also included presets for the new drum synths, presets for Prism, Massive, as well as presets for the new plate reverb in Maschine 2.0
Don’t let the size fool you, there’s a ton of content in here….and it’s all covered with a hazy layer of chill.
Quick Specs
- content: 327MB, 7 projects, 50 kits, 34 drum synth presets, 37 MASSIVE presets, 10 PRISM presets
- format: Wav, Maschine 2, MASSIVE, PRISM
- price: $49.00

That big volume knob and new jogg wheels looks great. where can i find that?
Great review SJ, I’m loving this product but is it me or am I hearing that after sshshing type sound again at the end of each sound?
Yeah I had to go look at the Maschine Studion on NI.com because I though something looked different about yours. Nice. Where you get you accessories for that?
Dam maschine has really steped up their expansions game. This is crazy ! I want it just for the reverb patches alone
Hey brotha joe do you need maschine 2.0 or kontact for this expansion.
Dope expansion 😀
Yo bro…the beat you did alone at the end sells this expansion itself !!! I am gonna say this.,.I can hear Beyonce on that beat…LOL..no lie. This expansion is definitely going in the arsenal…and before watching I said to myself I aint really into Ambient sounds all that much…but the way you made the track kinda let me see its definitely dope and I think i can really experiment. Dope review as always SJ.
I love ambient sounds fam! Thanks for watching
Man..this is just what I was looking for..and yes, your beat at the end is amazing Thanks!
Thanks fam!
They should break down every expansion like this. I love the way they have it for all genres of music. This is a must have.
Thanks for watching man, more to come!
This has to be one of their best yet! N-I just had to throw in motivation for me to upgd to 2.0 lol Excellent review, I hope I can use the voucher…it’s exactly the types of sounds/vibes that I like on a regular basis.
This is mad dope! Maschine 2.0 has so many dope sounds and kits I dont even know where to start from most of the time! Fl studio 11 dead ×_× lol
Is it possible to flip/invert the phase of samples in Maschine?
thx alot for the instructive overview
Damn! I was trying to hold out on upgrading to 2.0! I tried this out on imaschine and made so CRAZY shit! Great vId SJ!
Ive got Maschine Mikro v1 running v1.8 software. It seems I can upgrade my software to 2.0 but can I run this expansion pack on my original Maschine Mikro?
Man, I haven’t even updated, but I will by tomorrow. This expansion is dope.
No doubt fam!!
This SUPER HOT!! It’s already mine!
I’m really liking your vids man. Good stuff right there. What software do you use to do them ?? Always wondered.
Luving them urban kits Cheap Laugths, Taxation kick dope, Glacier kits, that drop on pad 10 sickassz….
umm i need those knobs – SJ where can I score those?
So if Im going to end up mixing projects made with maschine in my daw all the effects will be useless? Ill have to redo them when I import to my daw, right?
Wicked Expansion! This is the best one yet (for me). Most of the kits and patterns are just spectacular..I will be using this one a lot! Thanks for the great in depth detailed review Saint Joe! Much appreciated..Cheers all..
Totally agree man, joint sounds great!
Excellent video. I enjoy and appreciate all your tutorials and reviews SJ. Just downloaded this last night; hard making choices but I think this pack will keep me busy for some time. Keep up the great work!
First just want to say thank you for all the reviews and tutorials you put out, I just bought my Maschine MK2 last month, my main instrument is the guitar so I’m pretty new to all of this. But after seeing some of the possibilities for live and studio applications I decided to break out into new territory. I’ve bought a few of the expansion packs and this one is NICE. Once again, I appreciate your work.
Great review! Definitely getting this.. whenever I get my e-voucher! I like how you let the playing do the talking 🙂
this dude sounds like icecube. 🙂
1:33 Please tell me how I can make the Rim Artcore sound at 1:33 without buying this. Ive tried finding Rimshots and samples adding reverb and manipulating them but cant seem to make it sound as good as the one in this expansion.Any help would be appreciated. Great Video BTW…As always… Any help would be appreciated.
Really loved the sounds they are really cool. 🙂
Your excellent content earned you my sub.As for the pack…I just received my own Maschine and I think I know what I’m going to use that 25 $ voucher for.
Hi SaintJoe,cool shit!Your vids are top!Nobody explains that gear,better than you!Cheers,Mate!
Great review boss…!
joe did u do a resonant blaze review yet?
Nice mix bro
Can you tell me how you got your maschine’s macros to work while playing on the midi keyboard? Mine only respond when playing maschine’s pads. Great vid btw.
When you download NI Maschine packs are the .wav files unpacked? I have
Battery but do not own MASCHINE and I would LOVE this pack.
I know you said those were throw away beats, but that one was coming out
really nice. I love that “Left” stuff.
This pack is nice.
Dang, nice comp at the end. I have this pack and I’ve struggled to get it
to sound good, but I really like what you did with the quick track you
built. Great job and thanks again!
