    I am a beginner and have MK3 mikro with maschine Software , what can I do with complete control, does it make sense to buy the complete control A25? what can I do more or less with it? It is not possible to connect complete Start via MK3 micro, what can I do with complete control more than just MK3 micro,
    thank you in advance

    I just got the Komplete Kontrol M32 and one of the reasons was to add more control functionality to Maschine. I'd say the added functionality is minimal, if not completely absent. As far as I understand the M32 has the same functionality as the A series. You will get a few new knobs for controlling plugins or instruments. The Navigation knob is nice but a little clunky to use and you can navigate to the things you can with that knob through the micro (in different ways). Other than that you are just getting keys. It does seem to work really well in Logic.

    The A series will not let you control the mixer in Maschine (even though they say it will let you on their marketing site FAQ's). This is horribly disappointing because it is one of the reasons I bought it. It works fine in Logic but not in their own software. The knobs are just empty and useless when in Track mode on the Kontrol. So for most of the time you have a bunch of useless knobs.

    Also the buttons are not as nice as on the Micro. The knobs and keys feel high quality but don't expect the same quality buttons on the M32 (not sure about the A series). I'm honestly thinking of returning it but I'm also not sure if there is anything better other than springinging for the S series, if you are just going to use Maschine.
