The music tech giant is also marking its 30th birthday by launching three more of its Expansions sound packs

Native Instruments (NI) has launched a major free update for its hybrid Maschine 3 beat-making and production software.

The update introduces a new trio of creative sequencing tools: a random note generator, a Euclidean sequencer and Note Event, with the latter attributing a chance value to every note.

Maschine 3.7 is available now as a free update for all Maschine 3 users. Find out more here.

Aside from the Maschine 3.7 update, NI is also marking its 30th birthday by launching three more of its Expansions sound packs. This trio comprises a special “genre-spanning” 30th-anniversary collection (featuring 30 Maschine kits, 291 drum samples and more), the French house-inspired Paris Heat, and Rage Circuit — a rage and hypertrap collection created with GRAMMY-winning producer Snipe Young.

“30 years is a moment worth celebrating. This milestone couldn’t be reached without the producers and musicians who took NI’s instruments and made history with them,” said Tim Adnitt, NI’s senior director of product management. “Maschine 3.7 gives those producers and musicians new ways to write, sequence, and perform, and with Thirty, Paris Heat, and Rage Circuit arriving together, this is one of the biggest weeks for Maschine sound content we’ve ever had.”

NI first introduced Maschine 1.0 at NAMM in January 2009 and has released several updates over the years, with Maschine 3 arriving in 2024.

In May, NI was acquired by inMusic, which also owns Akai Professional, Moog Music, and Denon DJ.
