No, the Maschine MK3 is a controller for the Maschine software, it's not a standalone unit. If you want a standalone version you need to look at a Maschine+
Maschine+: Standalone drum machine & sampler for beatmakers (native-instruments.com)

No it's not a standalone unit. That's the Maschine Plus.

Ok I think I no what you both mean now. So I have to download the free MK3 sounds from there web site. I got the impression it was pre loaded with sound and I could use it straight out of the box's. That's not the case, and has it all way's got to be plugged into my computer?

You need to download the Maschine 2 software and the Maschine 2 Factory library. Did you buy the hardware from Native Instruments or was it a used controller?

I got it from Native yesterday, new. I have downloaded what you have said and have now got it up and running with sound. A great machine, but I'm still hoping you can use it without a computer?

You cannot, like everyone already said, the MK3 is a controller, it controls the software on the computer.
The Maschine+ is the only standalone from NI, it has a computer inside so you may use it without being connected to a computer.

Ok, and thanks for all your help. It's an awesome machine and now I'm away from Ableton for a while.
