SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The Mikro Machine has 28 backlit high sensitive color coded pads, all of the pads are velocity and after touch sensitive. There is one knob that is considered to be the master knob that should just about work with all software DAW functions.
OVERALL OPINION
The Mikro Machine has a built in sequencer, and works great with NI massive software synth. This system comes with Massive which I was really interested in at the time, so it was a huge bonus that I got the Machine and Massive together. I was also a fan of the original Mashine, and the reason I like this much better is because it is smaller. The manual is easy to understand and setting it up was very easy for me because it was just like setting up my original Native Instruments Machine.
The sound quality and performance quality of the Maschine is well worth the money that it cost. It provides great value for the price and knowing what I know now, I am glad that I purchased it just like I am happy that I purchased the original Maschine when it came out. I do think they white MKI looks better than the black one does though.

This is my favorite toy in the studio! Everyone should have this!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The software is pretty solid and runs fairly smooth, although on some occasions when working with around 20 seconds or higher of a sample the program does stop responding for a moment. It is not that big of a deal though, runs better than pro tools if you ask me. Overall the software and gear work very well and i am very pleased with it. I have been using the maschine for about 5 months now, and i will never use any other drum machine.
OVERALL OPINION
The thing i like the most about the maschine is how easy it is. the maschine stepped up my production by far. It allowed me to stop focusing so hard on technical expects of my music and just have fun. every time i use this product i find my self nodding my head back in forth with a grin on my face. The sounds provided with the software are superb. I think that the maschine far exceeds the price that i set on it. There is no doubt in my mind that if i were to somehow lose my maschine i would purchase another one as soon as possible. I have not used any other drum machines besides the maschine and i do not plan on ever doing so.

Portable and Reliable

The Maschine Mikro 2 works great and is very stable. I have only been using it for a little more than 5 months now but I have had zero issues with it. I use it almost every single day and even take it with me to different places. I needed a reliable system like the Maschine Mikro 2. I was looking for something that I could take with me everywhere and it would work hassle free.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, this is a great investment to make in your music career. I am very happy that I chose to purchase the Maschine Mikro 2. It only cost 350 dollars, and it comes with the full version of Massive synth (which I already owned) but that is still a plus for a new user who doesn’t own Massive. With the Maschine Mikro 2 you will have everything you need, some people say it is for beginners because it is the “Mikro” version of the Maschine but I say it is more for portable people who are not always in one studio or place.

Mikro Maschines!

The software is very stable, I mean come on when does Native Instruments slack on stability?... Now I've haven't been using this unit very long I'm use to using the main Maschine unit but the Mikro performs just as well, it's just as stable and just as fun to use as the original maschine. One thing I did notice is the pads feel a little bit better which is good. I hope they offer pad upgrades for both units in the future as I like the feel of the akai pads but I love the response of maschines pads... I'd like a mix of both if you get my drift
OVERALL OPINION
The only thing I don't like about this unit is that it came out after the original maschine unit.. I feel if they released this at the same time I would have gotten this unit because of the cheaper price but i do understand the business aspect of the release later rather than sooner... This is literally a carbon copy of MASCHINE just smaller. It comes over around 6 gigs of quality sounds (which is great). Another thing I like about this unit is it use the same exact software which means project files are cross compatible no matter what size maschine you are using...
