FEATURE HEAVY, TRAVEL READY

FEATURE HEAVY, TRAVEL READY

Inspiration can happen at any moment, so you need to get your ideas down quickly, wherever you are. KOMPLETE KONTROL M32 is perfect to plug in and play anywhere. Easy to set up, easy to pack away – it doesn’t just fit your workflow, but your lifestyle, too. If you want to make tracks on the go, or create a compact studio setup – you now have the perfect keys to fit your needs. Lightweight and road trip ready, where will your music take you?

TAKE THE WORK OUT OF WORKFLOW

There’s no right or wrong path to follow when making music – that’s the beauty of it. Whatever works for you, KOMPLETE KONTROL M32 has the tools you need to go from first note to finished track, every step of the way.

FIND SOUNDS FASTER

The KOMPLETE KONTROL software makes browsing easier by organizing and tagging all your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments and effects, allowing you to hear each preset as you scroll. Using KOMPLETE KONTROL, everything is collected into a single browser – making flicking through folders and searching for sounds a thing of the past.

TWEAK TO YOUR TASTE

You’ve found that elusive sound, now you want to adjust its parameters to suit your style, straight from your keyboard. You’re in luck. You can use the OLED display and touch-sensitive knobs to tweak your sound’s essential parameters in real-time. All of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments and effects are pre-mapped to the KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware by the people who designed them – so you know you’re in good hands.

PLAY IT SMART

Smart Play can help express yourself with techniques that you may not have mastered yet – such as chords, scales, and arpeggios. Map your keyboard to a number of different scales, or play chord progressions and arpeggios easily with single keys. For more experienced producers, Smart Play lets you play around outside of your comfort zone, taking your music in a new direction. Either way, it’s a whole lot of fun.

KICK-START YOUR DAW, FROM YOUR KEYS

Capture your ideas directly from the keyboard with immediate access to play, pause, record, quantize, loop, and more in a number of leading DAWs – keeping your focus on the music, rather than your screen. KOMPLETE KONTROL M32 gives you intuitive control over Logic Pro X, GarageBand, Ableton Live, Cubase, and Nuendo. Ableton Live 11 Lite is included with the keyboard, so you can start producing right out of the box.

Komplete Kontrol M32 FAQ

1. Which KOMPLETE instruments are fully integrated with the hardware?

Native Map®, sound browsing, and performance features will work for all instruments in KOMPLETE 9, KOMPLETE 10, KOMPLETE 11 or KOMPLETE 12 suites, plus newer KOMPLETE instruments.

KOMPLETE KONTROL is the quickest way to find and preview all your sounds. Its tag-based browser makes all KOMPLETE and NKS instrument presets easily accessible from one plug-in. And, when paired with a KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard, it ensures that all of your instruments’ parameters are intuitively pre-mapped to the hardware controls. The KOMPLETE KONTROL software combines unparalleled integration with KOMPLETE, plus full support for VST instruments.
2. Do the KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard controllers work with MASCHINE?

The latest version of the MASCHINE 2 software works with KOMPLETE KONTROL M32 keyboard controllers. All M32 keyboards feature deeper integration, including control over features like pattern creation, organizing ideas in Ideas View, and mixing.
3. Can I use the KOMPLETE KONTROL software without the hardware?

Yes, you can browse all KOMPLETE and NKS instrument sounds by sound tags and keywords, create custom mappings and favorites, hear instant previews, and use Smart Play features.
4. Which hosts are supported?

KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboards work with all DAWs that support VST/AU/AAX with intuitive control over Logic Pro X / GarageBand, Ableton Live, Cubase / Nuendo, Pro Tools, Studio One, Bitwig Studio and Motu Digital Performer. Using an integrated DAW will allow you to play/pause, record, set tempo, adjust levels, quantize notes, adjust loop braces, undo/redo, and more – all from your keyboard.

Detailed information about support and integration with different host applications can be found in the KOMPLETE KONTROL documentation. For a quick-reference guide to using KOMPLETE KONTROL M32 keyboards in the above DAWs, please download the DAW shortcut sheet.
5. What is NKS

NKS is an extended plug-in format that opens up the Native Instruments ecosystem. It allows VST and KONTAKT instrument and effects developers to integrate their plug-ins with KOMPLETE KONTROL and MASCHINE at the same deep level as KOMPLETE Instruments. This means that even instruments and effects not built by NI can be fully integrated in KOMPLETE KONTROL and MASCHINE browsers, with parameters intelligently mapped straight out of the box. NKS instruments can access the Smart Play features, and the full creative potential of KOMPLETE KONTROL. The NKS plug-in will be a free update for existing owners.

Each NKS plug-in is pre-mapped and tagged by the sound designers themselves. Their expertise allows you to take control of the essential parameters of each instrument and effect straight away. Tag-based preset browsing and audio preset previews make searching through your libraries easier than ever, delivering a huge range of benefits to musicians and producers at any level.
6. What NKS instruments are currently available?

7. How well do the keyboards work with VST instruments?

Hundreds of software instruments from leading plug-in manufacturers are NKS instruments, which allow the same deep integration outlined above. An up-to-date list of NKS instruments can be found here.

All non-NKS VSTs feature some automatic mapping. You can load VSTs via KOMPLETE KONTROL, after which all Smart Play functions will work. You can also save presets, add user tags, create custom mappings, and more.

The table at the bottom of this page shows you the features available to all KOMPLETE / NKS instruments in contrast to VST (non-NKS) instruments loaded via the KOMPLETE KONTROL software.

KOMPLETE KONTROL M32 keyboards are USB bus-powered and require no additional power supply. In order to ensure a reliable connection, please ensure that the keyboard is connected either directly to your computer or to a powered USB hub.
10. How can I use the Smart Play features?

Smart Play features enable you to stay in key with over 100 scales and modes. Activate the chord and arpeggiator modes to play chord progressions and arpeggios with single keys, or use Easy Mode to map any scale to the white keys only.
