Is it easy to learn how to play?

Yes, Mash Machine is very easy to play.

There is no need for instructions or manual and it would take you a minute to learn the basics to have fun for hours with the Mash Machine along with your friends, family, and guests. Mash Machine will allow players to explore music through their instincts and natural perception of music.

What kind of events are suitable for Mash Machine?

Yes, The Mash Machine will work along side your DJ or band depending on the space at your venue. If there is a large enough space, you can have the Mash Machine at one end of the room and direct the speakers towards the unit so only the players can hear it.

There is an option to also use LED bluetooth headsets and fully contain the sound to the players only. Think of it like a silent disco where your guests create the music.

The other option is to use bluetooth wireless headsets and fully contain the sound to the players only. Think of it like a silent disco where the players also create the music.

Can we place Mash Machine outside?

Yes, the Mash Machine was hosted at many outdoor events. It is recommended that you have a shelter or an open marquee to protect the unit from the weather and especially harsh sun that can affect the unit from reading the controllers.

How many people can play at any one time?

The Mash Machine is generally played by 4 players at any one time. Each player taking a set of controllers (drums, bass, melody & vocals) and working together to create music.
