Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A25

Description

The Essentials to Know About the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A25 MIDI Keyboard Controller



  • 25-key semi-weighted keyboard for precise response in studio and mobile production.

  • KOMPLETE KONTROL + NKS workflow: tagged presets, instant preview, and pre-assigned parameters on an OLED screen.

  • Assisted creativity with "Smart Play," arpeggiator, pitch/mod wheels, and Push 4D encoder.

  • Deep DAW and MASCHINE integration, USB power supply, and sustain pedal input for a minimal, efficient setup.



The Compact Core of the KOMPLETE KONTROL A-Series Range


The Komplete Kontrol A25 condenses the DNA of Native Instruments keyboards into a 25-key format designed to focus on essentials. Inheriting the NKS ecosystem and carefully crafted mapping by developers, it offers smooth navigation and immediate control of instruments and effects, all enhanced by a readable OLED screen.



Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?


Ideal for beatmakers, mobile producers, composers, and content creators who want to capture ideas without latency or complex menus. Whether in a home studio or on the go, the A25 integrates into the workflow of major DAWs and directly controls the MASCHINE ecosystem to compose, arrange, and record quickly.



Smart Control, Instant Inspiration


Intelligent Navigation and Mapping


Thanks to KOMPLETE KONTROL, NKS sounds are categorized by tags. Scroll through categories via the 4D encoder, preview presets without loading, and instantly access key parameters (filters, envelopes, macros) mapped to the 8 touch-sensitive encoders with visual feedback on the OLED screen.



Expressive and Secure Playing


"Smart Play" blocks wrong notes: choose a scale, activate Chord mode to generate one-touch chords, then the arpeggiator to turn your ideas into rhythmic patterns. The pitch and modulation wheels add immediate expressiveness to melodic lines and basses.



DAW and MASCHINE Integration


Transport, mixing, and editing functions are accessible from the keyboard in Logic Pro X, GarageBand, and Ableton Live, with dedicated controls also for Cubase and Nuendo. The MASCHINE hardware/software integration allows you to capture and structure your ideas without leaving the keyboard, and the included "Komplete 15 Select" bundle provides a professional sound foundation right out of the box.

Very good keyboard to complement a Mashine MK3 or Mashine+, self-powered and easily portable, it is solidly built with a light weight. The modulation and pitch bend wheels are very precise, and you can connect a sustain pedal to it. Ideal for going on vacation.

Excellent small keyboard, the latency is in my opinion imperceptible (and due to my Audio interface) and the software integration is rather well thought out despite the small size of the screen. I recommend it!

Very good value for money for a master keyboard. Perfect for managing native instruments and third-party products on Cubase. A plus for working on productions at an affordable price.

Good ergonomics but the touch quality is relative to the price of the keyboard. Not compatible with FL STUDIO (like the entire KK -Axx series apparently).
