The M32 allows you to map your keyboard to a variety of different scales, or play chord progressions and arpeggios with single keys, which is huge for anyone who isn’t a music theory wizard.Īdditionally, you can control your DAW’s core functionality, such as pressing play/pause, recording, setting a tempo, quantizing notes and more, via the buttons on the top left of the keyboard, streamlining the production process in a hands-on manner and significantly reducing the amount of time spent working with a mouse. Tweaking the MIDI mapping settings inside your audio software only takes a few seconds and I’ve found this particularly useful when I want to record automation for things like reverb, delay, or LFO parameters, rather than drawing in the automation with my mouse.Īs someone who struggles with music theory, I’ve found the “Smart play” function extremely useful. If you already use Komplete or NKS plugins, this product will slot in to your setup perfectly, as the eight touch sensitive knobs will arrive pre-mapped to control your plugins, but can also be re-assigned to control any plugin within your DAW with minimal effort. I previously used an Alesis Q49 which was a great MIDI keyboard in itself, but swapping to the M32 has not only saved desk space, but simultaneously added a ton of features in a more compact design. The Komplete Kontrol M32 is a compact but powerful 32 key MIDI keyboard, powered by USB and manufactured by the reputable Native Instruments, so you can expect solid build quality and an attractive design.
