Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK2 Groove Production MIDI Controller
 
Compact USB-powered production controller with 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads, dedicated workflow controls, and tight Maschine integration
The Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK2 is a compact production controller designed for hands-on beat making, sequencing, sampling, and performance within the Maschine workflow. It provides 16 multicolour velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive pads, a high-contrast display, push encoder, and dedicated controls for patterns, scenes, sampling, note repeat, transport, and editing.
Its smaller footprint makes it well suited to desktop studios and portable setups while retaining much of the hands-on workflow of the larger Maschine controllers. The Mikro MK2 connects and receives power through USB and is intended to operate with compatible computer software rather than as a standalone sound-producing device.
 
Condition:
Excellent physical and working condition overall with only very minor signs of normal previous handling.
The controller is very clean throughout. The housing, pads, buttons, encoder, display area, rear panel, USB port, and underside are all in excellent overall condition with no major scratches, dents, cracks, broken controls, or other significant physical imperfections observed.
The unit has been fully tested and is working properly with no functional issues noted during testing. The display illuminates correctly, the multicolour pad lighting operates, and the tested pads, buttons, encoder, and controls function normally.
The original box is included but shows noticeable storage wear, creasing, edge/corner wear, and an older retailer price sticker, as visible in the photos. This wear is limited to the packaging and does not reflect the condition of the controller itself.
