## Description

From the manufacturer SMART, STREAMLINED KEYBOARD CONTROLLER Intuitive pre-mapped control for hundreds of KOMPLETE and NKS plug-ins, plus full VST support Perform on a custom NI keybed with 25, 49, or 61 semi-weighted keys Includes MASCHINE ESSENTIALS, MONARK, THE GENTLEMAN, REAKTOR PRISM, SCARBEE MARK I, and more Full integration with MASCHINE, Logic Pro X, GarageBand, and Ableton Live, Cubase, and Nuendo. Komplete Kontrol A-Series GET HANDS-ON WITH YOUR MUSIC Music-making is at its best when it’s fast, fun, and physical. Find the right sound, make it your own, perform, and capture the results – all from a responsive, semi-weighted keyboard. Complete with four premium instruments plus MASCHINE Essentials, A-Series keyboards come with everything you need to bring your ideas to life. FIND YOUR SOUNDS FASTER With hundreds of presets to choose from, finding the right sound can be a chore. With KOMPLETE KONTROL, however, all of your KOMPLETE and NKS presets are intuitively tagged and organised, so finding the right one is fast and easy. What’s more, you can hear a preview of each sound as you browse, without loading individual instruments. Need some serious low end? Use the encoders and OLED display to select SYNTH > BASS > SUB BASS, then listen through the presets and load up the right one for your track. PRE-MAPPED AND READY TO PLAY All of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments and effects are pre-mapped to the KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware by the people who know them best – the instrument designers themselves. Essential parameters like envelope controls and filter cutoffs are instantly displayed on the OLED display as you touch the corresponding knob. That means you can see exactly what you’re adjusting in real time – whether it’s in kHz, dB, or BPM. CAPTURE YOUR IDEAS No matter your setup, A-Series is designed to fit right into your existing workflow, with immediate access to transport, mixing, and editing controls in your favorite DAW. Logic Pro X, GarageBand, and Ableton Live are currently supported, with advanced integration for Cubase and Nuendo coming in a future update to the KOMPLETE KONTROL software. And if you’re just getting started, the included MASCHINE Essentials allows you to capture and arrange your ideas direct from your hardware – no additional software needed.

Review: Quality As Per Usual - I picked up the A49 Komplete Kontrol to replace my old 88-key S-Series that was swallowing my entire desk. This one fits the space like it was meant to be there, sleek, compact, and perfectly in tune with the darker aesthetic of my setup. The keys feel lovely under the fingers: responsive, lightly weighted, and far from flimsy. They’ve got just enough resistance to make playing expressive without feeling heavy, and the build quality gives you confidence that this thing’s going to last. Compatibility-wise, it plays nicely with a range of DAWs. I’m using it with Logic Pro, and the integration is smooth as silk. The auto-configured control assignments are a blessing, no faffing about with mapping, just plug in and start creating. A beautiful balance of form, function, and size. Exactly what my workflow needed.
Review: Fantastic bit of kit - I bought this as a midi controller for Cubase. It fired up first time and is a really superb bit of kit. I won't repeat what the manufacturer says in the adverts other than to say that it does all those things and if anything, more. I didn't expect anything great from the keyboard, but in fact it's very high quality. The keys are full sized and with a great feel so that you can actually play it. The whole build is very high quality too. To be honest I don't know how they do it for the price, unless they hope that having bought this people will go on to buy more of their software and kit. I did!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i just use this to control sounds in logic ? or do i have to use ni instruments ? i’m really just looking for a cheap semi weighted keyboard.**
A: You can add third party plugins to the Komplete Kontrol plugin, so yes you could control Logic plugins..

**Q: What exactly is meant by "item and packaging with signs of usage" in rich tone music's product description? this is a new, unused, product, right?**
A: If it says signs of usage it means it has been used and returned or has been used for demo purposes. You could ask if it has been a demo... I'd rather not have something that has been out on a shop floor and abused... however,if it has just been opened and tried out briefly, then that would be better. But then, why was it returned? ! Best buy new, boxed and un-opened IMHO.

**Q: Would this work for Pro Tools?**
A: Yes, it should work in all modern DAWs

**Q: Hi there, I would like to get information about warranty and return policy.**
A: just use the NI website for support info

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Remarkable keyboard for the money
*by M***Y on 1 January 2021*

This is an excellent keyboard for those wanting DAW integration and use Native Instrument plug-ins. It's not a performance keyboard, but ideal where space is limited in front of a computer monitor. Set up was problematic in Windows. In device manager, after installation, the unit was shown as having a missing driver. The keyboard needs a driver which Windows Update does not find automatically. The way to deal with this is by asking Windows Update to display hidden updates. Without this driver it is not possible to download firmware updates. Once installed it worked seamlessly as a DAW controller with both Cubase and Propellerhead Reason. Given the price, the key bed is quite playable but has viciously sharp corners to the keys. When spanning octaves, the edges of one's fingers are painfully reminded of the fact that the edges are razor-like. I'd have been happy to pay a little more for a slightly upgraded set of keys. Otherwise this is a truly excellent product for the money.
