Another Maschine Workshop in May!
Spring has finally arrived in Berlin and we closed out April with a high-powered Reaktor Intensive workshop with Stephan Schmitt, the founder of Native Instruments and mastermind behind Reaktor. We had a great group of participants and built some crazy sound-mangling instruments.
Our next workshop will be our ever-popular Maschine Production Weekend workshop on May 19-20. This two-day intensive course turns you into a true NI Maschine expert, taking you through the ins and outs of using Maschine as a beat production powerhouse.

Last year, Native Instruments turned fifteen. If you are interested in the early days of the company from Stephan Schmitt’s perspective, then you might want to check out an interview we published last Fall. Stephan shares interesting insights about synthesis in general and Reaktor in particular. Stephan also talks about his new company, Nonlinear Labs, in this new interview we posted earlier this year. Read about his ideas for making innovative new musical instruments “Made in Berlin”.
