In this photo, Sonny can be seen using Maschine at his live set

In a detailed analysis from Steven James DJ & Music Technology Consultant, Deadmau5 is shown using the Native Instruments Maschine in his live setup. Special thanks to users expoiler and rav0n for identifying this gear.

Armin Van Buuren uses Maschine to jot down drum ideas by playing them in real time.

In this video he has the Maschine software open.

"Always nice to jam around with samples, and see if they work together… that’s basically what I do on Maschine!"

At 4:50, Trent Reznor says "On the new record Hesitation Marks, about, if not every song ...almost every song was me with headphones on working in Maschine as a compositional environment. And I just found that to be fun. And I like the limitation of everything that's in there, and I like the fact that it can be easily automated with fingers and knobs and that you don't have to spend time assigning stuff, and I like the fact that it felt pattern based, and my Maschine consists of whatever soundbanks they have along with SoundToys native bundle and a couple softsynths outside of the Native Instruments thing. But just that was a kind of template to work from that ... I didn't feel exhausted when the record was finished and I could have kept going and probably will do the next thing I do in the same capacity, cause it just felt right. And the combination of Maschine as a kind of compositional tool on top of the effects I added ...became something I didn't ...I didn't miss being in the full studio. And sometimes having a limited work environment makes me work in a way that pushes me to something I wouldn't do if I'm sitting in the studio and I can reach for my favorite things".

In an interview, while playing with some studio equipment Steve Aoki says "I got Maschine and a couple of synths, but this Moog is dope".

St. Vincent shows off her Maschine in this photo, tweeted with the caption "Just me and my Maschine for a romantic evening in Paris."

Mike build his beats through Native Instruments Maschine Plugin At 14:40 .

At the 3:15 mark in this YouTube video, one can see the Maschine on the left-hand side of Richie Hawtin's live performance setup.

“I use Native Instruments’ Traktor with my MacBook Pro. To control all of this I use a piece of kit called Maschine, which is also from Native Instruments and can be used in two ways - as a sequencer to access drums samples to use live when DJing or as a Midi controller, which is how I use it."

“I can control all four decks on Traktor using Maschine. And when I use this set-up I have the ability to control whatever effects I want to use - delays, filters, flange, whatever, it’s all available to mess around with.”

“I use Maschine to manipulate everything that is inside Traktor - the tunes, the effects, etc. With Maschine I can make a two-bar loop on track A, move on to track B, play the actual record, then add a bassline over it on track C. I can introduce another element on track D, adding delays, effects, changing the whole sound using the controller. Before you know it, you’re creating a whole new remix of a track. It really pushes you to be more creative and there’s a lot more performance involved.”

The Native Instruments Maschine makes an appearance in Dirty South's LA studio, as can be seen in his photo "Just moved into my LA studio...the fun begins!"
