Native Instruments Discount the Maschine Range and S4 for Summer.

More special summer offers this time from Native Instruments who have put both of their Maschine controllers as well as the flagship DJ controller the S4.

 

Native Instruments MaschineNative Instruments Maschine

 

This drum machine/controller tool needs no introduction and since it’s launch has become a bit of a classic already.

Shipping with over 6GB of sounds and with many more libaries available not only does the Maschine package offer a new way to control your studio but also adds a vast selection of sounds to your sonic arsenal.

Available now for £329

Native Instruments Maschine @ Scan

Native Instruments Maschine Mikro

 Maschine Mikro

 

The baby brother of the family still offers the same great sounds as the bigger model but cuts down the number of dials available to the end user. In real terms you keep much of the same great functionality but have to use various short cuts to get around. This makes the Mikro more suitable for the studio producers than the more live friendly Maschine, but is still guarenteed to rock your setup.

 

Available now for £199

Native Instruments Maschine Mikro @ Scan

 

Native Instruments Traktor S4Native Instruments S4

 

The last of our trio also needs no real introduction. This 4 channel is the flagship Dj controller and interface from Native Instruments and ships with the latest version of Traktor Pro 2.5 making it the complete package ready to plug into your laptop and speakers.

 

Available now for £629

Native Instruments Traktor S4 @ Scan

These offers are available until August the 31st.
