New Kontroller coming soon ?

Hi amigos , i'm selling my beloved and exellent remote sl compact from Novation to make the plunge on the kontrol series , but it's back ordered in all big shops here in France including Thomann where the date is mid april ...i was waiting for the KK series to become mature , ... is this the signe of the KK MKII coming ? i can wait 2 months .....

Any infos around here ?

 

In Switzerland there is right know a bigger distributor giving discounts for S49 and S61, but not for S25 and S88...

 

Yep this was the case since december , i suspect big screens comin like the maschine studioo and so only possible in the 49 and upper size ...

 

I hope they add nine drawbars!

 

I don't see the need for screens the size of the studio , I think it would be a waste , what would they display, surely they're just eye candy , they could add some faders , but I don't see I revised model coming , n.i occasionally have some good sales , I got my studio for £650 over two years ago , it's still dearer than that . I'd say if you see one on sale grab it because you may not get that cheap again

 

You're right Aldred ...but for browsing a screen is axellent for real , since they added the support to browse and see via the controller , it's leess a msut i confess... , Aldred can check please if we can rename the plugisn parameters like for exemple when i map the " Filter 1 Cutoff Frequency" , i relabel it "Cutoff 1" instead ..

 

A screen would be useful or even a colour LCD strip like Push. What I like about the KK over the Akai Advance is having an LCD under each encoder instead of represented on a screen. It does make a lot of difference.

Browsing would be nice but honestly I look at my screen initially to find the sound type I want or select the VST I want then I flip and tweak the rest until get a sound so a browser screen would be nice but unused much of the time. Sleek and simple is what I love.

 

I have it set up in Preferences/Hardware to browse from the keyboard. You still get the on-monitor browser, but now have all the browsing options appear under the knobs (with proper labels). It works great!

Yes ,you can change that

 

I have the Maschine Studio and the screens help tremendously for browsing. Very nicely done and way better than on the current KK and better than Maschine MK2. It's nicer than using the GUI too. You can stay focused on the hardware.
