As a quick aside, I have my computer configured very securely after all, I’d worked as a professional IT ‘guy’ for two decades. Now just between you and me, I really don’t like fiddle-faddling with RMAs ( Return Merchandise Authorization) so I figured I’d let my Windows 10 production machine temporarily go online and check for Windows updates – just in case. The small studio and home producer crowd really sat up and took notice when NI released their industry-shaking line of dedicated keyboard controllers: Komplete Kontrol “S” series – in 49, 61 and 88 key configurations. Machine hybrid systems, which married percussive pad controllers to software samples, allowed electronic music artists to get as creative and hip-hoppy as their one drop hearts desired. In particular, their Traktor rigs became tremendously popular with our musical wannabe cousins (DJs), and many a fine home recording was captured using Komplete Audio devices. Well, in regard to the personal computer and software DAW domains that is.Īs magnanimous as NI’s sample and software archive is, they've not been strangers to the hardware side of the equation either. Be that as it may, NI has pretty much always been the industry leader – perhaps even the industry creator – of all samples-based virtual instrumentation.
Chances are, the percentage of contemporary music producers, home-recordists, and DAW users who don’t own at least one NI product, is probably so low that it’s negligible to measure. That means you can see exactly what you’re adjusting in real time – whether it’s in kHz, dB, or BPM.Unless you've been imprisoned in Iqaluit, Nunavut, since the early 1990s, you’re no doubt very familiar with music technology mega brand, “Native Instruments” (NI). All essential parameters load instantly and are displayed across the two color displays, intuitively divided into pages. And the ultra-sensitive touch strip provides a fun, responsive alternative to plugging in a dedicated expression pedal.Īll of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments are pre-mapped to the KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware by the people who know them best – the instrument designers themselves.
Get precise control of pitch and mod functions via two ergonomic, rubberized wheels. And for keyboard novices, Easy Mode maps the white keys to whichever scale you like, so you’ll never hit a wrong note. Activate chord mode to create a progression by playing single keys, then switch on the arpeggiator and turn it into an expressive musical performance. Stay-on key, with notes of the currently selected scale or mode lit on the Light Guide. Perform expressively, browse and preview sounds, tweak parameters, sketch your ideas, then navigate and mix your project – all from one fully integrated centerpiece for studio and stage. With the latest generation of Komplete Kontrol, music-making becomes a more intuitive, hands-on experience.
