Maschine was designed to accommodate and facilitate inspiration at any point in the creative process, from spontaneous beat creation to sophisticated multi-timbral arranging. Maschine Controller The advanced Maschine controller was designed as a natural extension of the software, and makes the system feel and respond as a true instrument. The 16 pressure-sensitive drum pads have been carefully engineered for the best possible response and durability, and they illuminate to visualize sequence patterns and other crucial information. Eight rotary encoders, a concise layout of dedicated buttons and dual high-resolution displays give immediate access to all functions of Maschine without touching the computer mouse or keyboard. By design, all features are quickly accessible on the surface rather than hidden away in hierarchical sub menus. The Maschine hardware also doubles as a powerful universal controller for any MIDI compatible music gear, thanks to an included MIDI mapping application and support of the MCU protocol for sophisticated DAW control. Versatile Sampling and Looping Based on a powerful high-resolution sample engine, Maschine is a versatile instrument that renders intricate drum kits and percussion, loops and multi-sampled polyphonic instruments with uncompromising sonic accuracy, assisted by automatic sample mapping, beat slicing, note repeat and more. The advanced real-time audio recording and resampling features in Maschine also allow producers and performers to capture, map, sculpt and transform any external or internal signal immediately, and seamlessly integrate the result into a running track without ever breaking the flow of the music. Multiple performance effects sections on the sample, group and master level provide a versatile arsenal of 20 high-quality algorithms ranging from conventional to experimental, all optimized for profound sound shaping and creat Minimize

The Avantone MixCubes are shielded, full-range studio mini-reference monitors. Their design is inspired by the legacy of the 5C Sound Cubes used in virtually all-major studios for the last 25 years. Avantone Mixcubes Passive Studio Monitors Features: 5.25 inch Shielded Passive Full range 8 ohm drivers 6 1/2 inch Cube Cabinet with multiple coats of Retro-Cream High Gloss lacquer finish Precision-milled high-rigidity MDF Cabinet sides & Baffle for low resonance Radiused corners & edges reduce edge diffraction for better imaging Custom Paper Cone is crafted using New Zealand pulp with mica fibers added for light weight & rigidity Cloth surround made in Japan to uniform thickness tolerances Top Plate and T-Yoke of driver are made of Sumitomo 1008 low carbon steel The 43oz. low distortion motor structure magnets are Y- 40 GRADE (MIL-SPEC) High-Rigidity DIE CAST Aluminum frame with polished mounting bezel Nickel Plated high-end binding posts (properly spaced for dual banana plugs) Anodized milled Aluminum Terminal Plate 1/4 inch soft Neoprene Pad is recessed into the cabinet base to serve as a non-skid acoustic isolator Standard size (5/8 inch- 27 threading) female microphone stand mount is built into the cabinet base Engineering Objective To build a full range, rugged, mini-reference monitor to replace the older, aging, 5C Sound CubesÔ that are still in use worldwide, while offering an improved, more linear frequency response. A full year was spent studying all versions & revisions of the famous little 5C Sound CubesÔ. Research revealed that there were several driver versions released over the years with widely varying frequency response characteristics. Avantone chose the smoothest, most linear, full-range version of those 5C models to use as our testing benchmark. Next they analyzed their response characteristics in an anechoic chamber and proceeded to implement design upgrades. Realizing the importance of replacing a respected industry-standard reference monitor we began by replicating its basic size, function, and sonic character.  Avantone wanted to take it up a notch though… First the addressed the Cabinet Design... The original 5C Sound Cubes were made of 1/2 inch particleboard covered with a glue-on wood grain contact paper. They chose to use thicker, denser MDF board because of its high rigidity and inherent low-resonance characteristics. They started with a 165mm (6 1/2 inch) sealed cube design with radiused edges. They then chose an elegant Polyurethane high gloss Retro-Cream finish. The originals had either screws or on later models plastic binding posts mounted on a recessed plastic cup. They upgraded to high-end nickel plated, machined solid metal binding posts (Dual banana spacing) mounted on a black anodized, milled and silk-screened aluminum terminal plate. Next they added a 7mm thick neoprene pad embedded into the base of the cabinet to serve as a skid-resistant acoustic isolator. Additionally, for creative mounting situations, they recessed an industry standard 5/8 inch-27 mic stand mount into the base. Second, Avantone addressed the driver design...The originals were a basic 5 inch stamped frame design. They designed a proprietary 5.25 inch die cast aluminum frame driver/cone assembly to exceed the performance of the originals. The mounting bezel is then polished for an elegant appearance. The paper cone, chosen for its musical character, is custom designed & crafted using the finest New Zealand pulp with mica fibers added for lighter weight & rigidity. The cloth surround is made in Japan to exact Minimize
