Native Instruments introduces iMASCHINE Artist Expansions

Berlin, September 4, 2013 – Native Instruments recently released RAW 

WORKS – a signature iMASCHINE Expansion created by in-demand producer 

Nottz. RAW WORKS is the third in a growing series of signature Artist 

Expansions exclusive to iMASCHINE – a complete, portable groove 

sketchpad for iPad and iPhone. Other Expansions in the series include 

sound packs from acclaimed DJ/producers Kerri Chandler and DJ Godfather. 

The full range of iMASCHINE Artist Expansions can be purchased in the 

iMASCHINE In-App store for $0.99 / 0.89 € / ¥ 85. iMASCHINE is available 

at the Apple App Store for $4.99 / 4.49 € / ¥ 450.

RAW WORKS delivers five projects and five kits of Nottz’s signature 

sound exclusively to iMASCHINE. Renowned for his work with Busta Rhymes, 

Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, and J Dilla, Nottz is known for his authentic, 

old school production style. For this Expansion, Nottz sampled live 

sessions with his own musicians, then handpicked sounds from the 

recordings to create a set of gritty drum sounds and melodic phrases. 

The Expansion’s deep, raw basslines were processed with Nottz’s sampling 

expertise, delivering a key component of the producer’s signature sound.

KAOZ THEORY brings the unmistakable sound of Kerri Chandler to iMASCHINE 

– the deep, grooving house style that has made him one of the most 

respected artists on the underground scene for over 20 years. The 

Expansion contains a total of six kits, two instruments and two full 

projects. The three Drum Kits are made up of dirty, analog kicks, 

snares, hats, and claps. A Melodic Kit provides the trademark Chandler 

synth chords while two Special Kits deliver basses, vocal samples, synth 

stabs and keys. iMASCHINE users can also access two instruments and two 

full iMASCHINE projects created by Chandler himself – fully-conceived 

musical material available only in this iMASCHINE Expansion.

DIRTY KNOCK was created by DJ Godfather – the Detroit DJ, producer, 

label owner, and founding father of ghetto tech/Detroit bass. The genre 

combines elements of techno, house, Miami bass and turntablism, and has 

in turn influenced juke and trap music. Four projects and five kits 

deliver an array of rough basslines, analog sound effects, dirty drums, 

high synth stabs, rumbling 808s, and tight snares true to DJ Godfather’s 

signature sound. The additional melodic kit comprises one shot beeps and 

sweeps for giving tracks an added nuanced flair.

All samples provided come in uncompressed .WAV format (16-bit 44.1kHz) 

and have been processed and tweaked for immediate use. Tracks created 

with iMASCHINE Artist Expansions can also be exported to MASCHINE and 

MASCHINE MIKRO for additional editing and finalization.

iMASCHINE is available at the Apple App Store for $4.99 / 4.49 € / ¥ 450.
