Essential Information About the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32 Master Keyboard
- Ultra-compact USB master keyboard with 32 velocity-sensitive mini keys, perfect for composing anywhere.
- NKS integration and DAW control to operate instruments, effects, and transport without touching the mouse.
- Seamless creativity thanks to the Push 4D encoder, 8 touch-sensitive knobs, OLED display, and Smart Play functions.
- Included software ecosystem to get started immediately: Native instruments, Maschine Essentials, and Ableton Live 10 Lite.
The "M" Format: Komplete DNA in a Mobile Version
The Komplete Kontrol M32 condenses the philosophy of Komplete Kontrol keyboards into a lightweight, portable chassis. It features NKS integration, tag-based navigation, and intelligent mapping, while prioritizing portability. It incorporates the hallmarks of the S/A series (Push 4D, Smart Play, OLED navigation), concentrated in a controller designed for quick sketching, beatmaking, and production on the go or in the home studio.
Who Is It For and What Is It For?
Mobile producers, content creators, beatmakers, and demanding beginners will appreciate its immediate control over key parameters and transport functions of major sequencers. The optimized key travel and Pitch/Mod touch strips provide sufficient expressiveness for melodic lines, basses, and automations without cluttering the desk or multiplying control surfaces.
Features That Speed Up Workflow
Smart Play puts scales, chords, and arpeggios at your fingertips to enrich harmonies and progressions, regardless of your skill level. The Push 4D encoder and OLED display streamline preset navigation, parameter editing, and visual tracking, allowing you to stay focused on listening rather than the computer screen.
Thanks to NKS compatibility, your supported instruments and effects open with relevant pre-assigned controls. Integration with Maschine and major DAWs (Logic Pro X, GarageBand, Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo) enables recording, quantizing, looping, and playback directly from the keyboard for a seamless flow from idea to arrangement.
