Maschine 2 is Native Instruments' beat-making and production plugin and standalone software, available as an Audio Unit (AU), VST, and AAX plugin for use in your digital audio workstation, as well as a standalone application. It combines sampler, sequencer, drum synth and effects into an integrated workflow for producing electronic music, hip-hop, and beat-making. The plugin integrates with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools and other major DAWs. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNative Instruments has already released a native Apple Silicon version of Maschine 2, and you can obtain it through Native Access, Native Instruments' official plugin manager and updater software. Launch Native Access, log in with your Native Instruments account (or create one if you do not have an account yet), locate Maschine 2 in the product list, and click the update button if an update is available—the manager will automatically pull the native build for your Mac architecture. If you have not yet installed Native Access, download and run the Native Access installer from Native Instruments' website, which will guide you through authentication and plugin discovery. After the native Maschine 2 is installed, your DAW may need to rescan plugins (in Logic Pro, go to Preferences > Plugins > Rescan; in Ableton, use Options > Plug-in Manager > Rescan), but your existing Maschine library, kits, and project history will be preserved. Expect noticeably faster performance and better power efficiency when using the native plugin instead of the Intel version running under Rosetta.
