Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32

The Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32 is a micro-sized MIDI keyboard controller that comes fitted with 32 compact keys alongside a transport section and eight rotary controls for controlling all of your instruments and effects. The sleek and solid design combines with professional music production features allowing you to fluidly produce music with creativity and flair. The M32 keyboard is also supplied with a powerful software package that includes synths, drums, basses, a whole host of effects, and Ableton Live 11 Lite.

Inherited from the S-series keyboard is the expressive Smart Play feature that works by mapping your keyboard to a number of different scales. Using the Smart Play feature, you can also play full chords and arpeggios with single keys which is perfect for beginners. For more experienced players the M32’s Smart Play allows you to get outside of your comfort zone and take your music in new directions using scales and chord progressions you wouldn’t normally use as well as play arpeggios you didn’t think were possible.The Komplete Kontrol M32 brings you everything you’ll need for creating great sounding music; the 32 compact keys provide you with an excellent feel giving you great playability. When combined with the innovative software, Smart Play features, and seamless integration with the software you get intuitive control over all of your instruments, effects, loops, and samples directly from your keyboard.

The Komplete Kontrol software ensures browsing their huge sound and sample collection is an easy process by organising and tagging all of your Komplete and NKS instruments and effects and allowing you to hear each preset as you scroll. Using Komplete Kontrol everything is complied into a single browser so searching through folders looking for sounds is a thing of the past. A 2-month subscription to Sounds.com is also included giving you access to over a million loops and samples so you can download fresh samples as you please.

Once you’ve found the perfect sound for your tracks, you can adjust its parameters directly from the keyboard using the eight touch-sensitive knobs offering the ability to tweak your sounds in real-time. A super-bright OLED display allows you to view the parameters you’re adjusting and lets you read instrument and effect names. All of the Komplete and NKS instruments and effects are pre-mapped to the Komplete Kontrol hardware by the people who developed them, so you know you’re getting quality sounds.

You can capture your ideas directly from the keyboard itself thanks to the play, pause, record, quantise, loop, metronome, tempo, and undo buttons giving you instant access to your most used DAW controls so you can focus more on your music and less on your computer screen. The Komplete Kontrol M32 offers seamless integration and intuitive control over Logic Pro X, Garageband, and Ableton Live with integration for Cubase and Nuendo coming shortly after release. Supplied with the keyboard is a copy of Ableton Live 11 Lite so you can start producing right out of the box.
