Frequently Asked Questions
Stand-alone mode offers a streamlined, self-contained experience, while the plugin mode expands functionality within a DAW for deeper editing and integration.
No, the Maschine + primarily utilizes Native Instruments' own plugins and sounds, limiting direct third-party VST support in standalone mode.
32 GB provides a good starting point, but serious sample hoarders will likely want to consider external storage options for expanding their sonic palette.
