That same year iMaschine was also released, an iOS app which brought key features of both the software and hardware components to the mobile platform. On October 1, 2011, Native Instruments released Maschine Mikro, a budget oriented version of the hardware controller, but with the updated Maschine 1.7 software. Maschine was first released on April 1, 2009, in a package that contained the original iteration of the hardware controller and Maschine software 1.0. iMaschine 2 on the iPhone 6s line of phones also utilizes the phone's 3D touch capabilities.

With the release of iMaschine 2, the app features many of the features found on the full production suite, such as step sequencing, arrangement, and the ability to record and manipulate samples. Users use the touch screen to manipulate a virtual recreation of the 16 pads found on the Maschine controller. Maschine was also ported and simplified into an iOS app called iMaschine. The 2.0 version of the software added multi-core CPU support, a new audio engine, the removal of plugin limits, and other upgrades to UI and audio effects. All functions can be performed without the use of a mouse, and instead directly from the hardware itself. The software also includes tools to capture and manipulate audio samples in real-time.

Users assign drum kits, instruments, and sounds from the included library to each of the controller's 16 pads, and can manipulate sounds further by applying effects and plugins. The software is primarily based on drum sequencing and designed for use with the Maschine line of hardware controllers. The Maschine software is designed to be used as a standalone production studio, or utilized as a plugin within a digital audio workstation. It can also work with the usual Maschine software, which will be updated to a new version allowing the addition of clips on a linear timeline. The hardware features WiFi capabilities to exchange sounds and files with a computer. Maschine+: Introduced in September 2020, Maschine + is a standalone version of Maschine that doesn't need to be plugged to a computer.

The hardware is not limited for sole use with the Maschine software, but is also compatible with Native Instruments' Traktor DJ software, and music production software such as Ableton Live and FL Studio. The controller is powered and connected by USB, with each variation featuring 16 pressure sensitive pads and back-lit buttons. The Maschine controller is designed like a drum machine, similar to products like the Akai MPC.
