According to our sampler expert
The Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 is a MIDI controller that you can use as sampler, thanks to the software. You can use the controller immediately, because the MASCHINE seamlessly integrates into all other Native instruments software. You can read useful information from the 2 high-resolution color screens. This way, you can check out the software's parameters and read the sound waves of your samples. Thanks to the integrated 96kHz and 24-bit audio interface, you can record the sound of hardware, such as synthesizers. The speakers can be connected to the output channel. This proves useful when you don't have an audio interface on hand. You have even more control over your sounds thanks to the touch strip, the velocity-sensitive drum pads, and the touch-sensitive dials.

Fantastic device, more than just a "beat maker". actually for all kinds of music, only (unfortunately) the emphasis is not on that. From simple beats to elaborate arrangements, everything is possible. take some time to discover what the possibilities are and youtube is full of instructions

You can control a lot of plugins via the mk3 Step sequencer also works great I'm experimenting with a lot of new instruments now since using the mk3
1 tip I use a laptop support because it is quite flat in itself

The device basically has 2 modes:
If, like me, you're looking for the very best drum pad experience, you've come to the right place - in MIDI mode. In addition, the Maschine 2 software turns this thing into an insanely expanded production platform with VST support. You could think of it as a modern incarnation of the Akai MPC.
Integration with your favorite DAW in which you use Maschine 2 but also want to use it as a MIDI controller quickly becomes a step more complicated and even for a seasoned producer it will probably take some searching (Manual readings required!), but there is so much that there is probably always find a suitable solution.
The only two downsides I can think of are that you can't go out in the sun without a laptop with this thing as it doesn't work stand-alone, and while MIDI mode doesn't require the machine 2 software, it does need to be installed to run it. to put things in midi mode. If you want to quickly tap into another computer or laptop, this can be a bit annoying.
