If you are using a different Komplete Kontrol keyboard, set the Receive From and Send To to the DAW entry available. In our case, it's Komplete Kontrol DAW - 1: Competition for the S–Series depends on your usage. As a dedicated front end for Komplete, the S–Series of course has unique features. You could, however, use other MIDI keyboards with the Komplete Kontrol software, you just wouldn’t get the dedicated hardware tie–ins and key lights, for example. Likewise, you can use any keyboard with Maschine, but the S–Series has the dedicated mapping. So it all depends how in bed you are with NI; if you use a wide range of other instruments and don’t work in Maschine, there are an awful lot of control keyboards out there. The higher end, with intelligent integration and auto–mapping schemes, includes the Novation SL, Korg Triton Taktile, Nektar Panorama, M–Audio Axiom AIR, Akai MAX and many more besides.

NI turn their hybrid expertise to keyboard design with an innovative controller for Komplete and Maschine. If you're using a Kontrol MK2 keyboard, the features described here require Apple Logic Pro 10.3.1 (or higher) as well as Komplete Kontrol .9.0 (or higher). NI have more or less defined the shape of modern hybrid music production and performance with their Maschine and Traktor Kontrol ranges. The Komplete Kontrol S–Series is the obvious next step, bringing a hardware front–end to the mighty Komplete instruments bundle, and a high-quality keyboard option for Maschine users or NI–centric users of other DAWs. Logic will display the Control Surface Setup window. You can see that it has identified the Kontrol Keyboard. The Komplete Kontrol S49 MK2 is the latest addition to the Komplete Kontrol series from Native Instruments. The S49 MK2 retains all the functionality that made the original so sought-after while boasting a range of upgrades and improvements. At the heart of the S49 MKII’s design is the semi-weighted, touch-sensitive Fatar keybed with Aftertouch.It only works connected to a computer. It is NOT a standalone unit. If you are looking for something that carries its sounds with it, look into the Yamaha MX49 and related products.

The Polyplex drum machine, also new in Komplete 10.Almost hidden in the Scale settings is a wondrous treasure: chord modes. Harmonic Chord mode will play chords based on any root note you play in your chosen scale. An encoder controls the chord type, so you can perform lovely chord progressions using single keys and judicious knob twiddling. Again, Light Guide provides a fascinatingly educational accompaniment, showing you which keys you would have played to get the chord if you weren’t so incompetent. Finally, there is Chord Set mode, which spills a series of predefined chord variations into each octave, again based on the chosen scale. A knob provides eight major and minor variations. All that’s left for you to do is load a nice Rhodes patch and mash random keys.
