Very neat and tidy.īut things get better still. If you want to record those parameter changes into your DAW, hit the Auto(mation) button on the front panel and you can tweak on the fly.

Once you’ve used Browser mode to target a sound you like, Plug-In Mode (with its corresponding button) lets you go further, providing access to key parameters. Here you can move between tracks, record enable the template of sounds you have up and running, or move the Transport playback bar by scrolling. Alongside the transport controls you’ll find on the left-hand side, the four-way push encoder comes into its own here. NI titles and NKS-ready content easier to access and audition.ĭAW integration has been tightened too, with Komplete Kontrol now much more ready and willing to talk to Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, GarageBand, Cubase and Nuendo. Whilst it’s highly likely that you’ll be most interested in the Komplete Kontrol hardware if you’re already a Komplete 11 user, this comprehensive bundle is a great starting point if you’re not, with upgrade paths available to those who want to step up at a later date. With a purchase of one of the new Komplete Kontrol keyboards, you’ll receive a download link to Komplete 11 Select, containing Massive, Monark, The Gentleman, DrumLab, Reaktor Prism, Scarbee Mark 1, Retro Machines, Vintage Organs, the West Africa percussion library, Solid Bus Comp and Replika.
