Native Instruments Maschine Jam Reviews

Revolutionary. This tool does the job of three controllers. More to come with further use.

Love this beast. Still getting used to some of it's quirks, but I've never found a controller that I work quicker with.

I use the maschine jam for my hybrid live dj sets. Is amazing, powerful, easy to use, a must have piece of gear!

It took a while to get the best our of Jam but great piece of kit at a great price.

I originally purchased this to supplement my Maschine controller, but it actually makes a brilliant control surface for Cubase too. The included Controller Editor allows you to map the buttons to a MIDI CC or MIDI note, and you can also emulate Mackie Control (MCU) too. So for example, I can set the rotary encoder up as a jog wheel and use the sliders to control MIDI CC's for my Kontakt instruments.

Probably the only two downsides are that the lights aren't particularly bright in daylight; my Novation Launchpad Pro is much brighter. And the pads don't have any touch sensitivity. But otherwise, it's a flexible little unit that still serves a purpose even though I've long since abandoned the Maschine software.
