Layering multiple instruments in Maschine MK3...?

I have been told that one workaround for not being able to layer multiple instruments (2-3-4) and play all of them at the same time through the S88 MK2 keyboard without having to use a computer/DAW - is to connect a Maschine MK3 to the S88 MK2 keyboard.

And then load the multiple instruments into the Maschine MK3...

Is this correct?

    The MK3 is nothing without a computer. You would load sounds via the maschine software; just like you'd do with a computer and a DAW. There's nothing special about the mk3 in this regard.

    Maschine+ would let you do it without a computer; because it is the computer.

    Thanks!

    I guess I should have been a little more specific...:)

    The Maschine MK3 and the Kontrol S88 MK2 keyboard will be hooked with to/with a computer.

    I am trying to get away from having to use a "DAW" (Kontakt in this case) - and just play a number of instruments at once - like you can on a synth or arranger, etc.

    Can you layer 2,3,4 instruments (piano, strings, brass, pad,) in Maschine MK3 and just play them all at once on the connected S88 MK2...?

    Why not just use the maschine program and load kontakt inside of the maschine software? Or is that where the limiting of instruments comes in?
