![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() From Komplete Kontrol, you’ll be able to organize your instruments and effects into a simple workflow and map your hardware to the way you want to use it. Sure it’s a slightly smaller bundle than what you’ll get with more expensive Native Instruments controllers, but at this price, the sheer value-for-money is hard to beat.įor starters, there’s Komplete Kontrol, which is comprehensive and full-featured. Native Instruments is really pulling out all the stops here - if you buy the Komplete Kontrol M32, you’ll also get all the tools you’ll ever need to use it. Perhaps the best thing about the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32 has nothing to do with the keyboard itself - and more to do with the absolutely massive (pun intended) range of software instruments and samples that you get with it. It’s beautifully laid out, and buttons are tactile and clicky, helping make the keyboard in general feel premium, despite the low price tag. Then, there’s a shift button - which unlocks a whole range of other controls - all at your fingertips. On the top right, you’ll also get controls for things like quantization, arpeggiation, and transport controls to play and record your ideas. There are also eight capacitive knobs and an encoder on across the top, which make it easy to browse and manipulate plugins in Komplete Kontrol, which is the software you’ll primarily use with the Komplete M32. That’s one of the biggest differences between the M32 and its A-series counterpart - but it’s not a change we think many will be frustrated with. The device has 32 keys, as the name suggests, and it has replaced pitch and mod wheels with sleek and easy-to-use touch strips. Of course, the top of the device is where most of the action happens - and there’s a ton of functionality on offer. We would have liked to see USB-C instead of the USB-B port that’s included, but that’s not a huge deal. ![]() On the back, you’ll get a USB port, along with a port for a foot pedal, which is a nice addition. Let’s start with the overall layout of the device. It’s built from quality materials, is laid out in an easy to understand way, and while not as small as some other “portable” controllers out there, the trade-off is better functionality and larger keys - which is always nice.
