It's six years later and I still love my S49 Mk2! ❤

HOLY SHIT !!! I used to go to school with Tim. He was a few years above me, but he was also a prefect. Small world :)

someone needs to tell him that 'mk' is an abbreviation of 'Mark'

I was at Guitar center trying to find a controller for my Logic. Most controllers are really crappy cheap made plastic feels like an expensive toy for a three year old. This one has the best build, looks and feels and not to mention all the features that makes your work flow way more fun. Pre-ordered !

'20% of your ideas, that make up 80% of your track' True & a great use of pareto outside of marketing. 👍 This is a great update overall and can't wait to see it paired up with the next version of komplete. Thanks for sharing, Nick

Love it and will replace my mk1 with it. It's tons of fun.

finally a controller that works well with Logic! I´m in love - gonna get both this and Mmk3

Ima download it thanks for sharing!!

Perfect. Just must have.

Kudos Nick - totally poker faced when Gaz brought up "something big from NI" on the show yesterday :),

Nice to see Roddy McDowall getting work after his successful acting career. Love him in the original Planet of the Apes series, but I think he will do great at Native Instruments. Good on ya Roddy! ;)

Thank you very much ... very helpful and informative!!

15:03 Odo from Deep Space 9 likes to assemble his material into buckets, too

Looks great, and sounds like a pretty good deal.

please don't forget to add Studio One as a DAW

THANKS!

Already 4 years !-) Any news about a new MK3 version ?

The fact that it is the same price sold me, as I really expected it to be $100-$200 more expensive. The added features look great, and I'm hoping for an 88 key version

Thank you.

This guy really didn't do this any justice. Shit looks sick

So Machine is a beats catalog, KK MK2 is a way of quickly navigating that catalog trying out ideas of pre-composed beats, which that then be arranged in Ableton. So Machine is like an instrument in its own right and the KK MK2 is just its User Interface. The key bit in this demo was how well KK and Able worked together.

My Crumar Bit Midi Master Keyboard from 1986 still going strong :D And it has 6 octaves.

I'm impressed by this board. This appears light years better than its predecessor. I also noticed that they got the wheels back. In the immortal words of Jan Hammer: "Don't dick with the wheel!"

3:03 nope - it won’t talk to anything you have connected to it. As for the MIDI section of this video - S61 mkII owner here - it’ll talk to your daw and Komplete Kontrol. That’s it. MIDI mode - note he said you can map in Komplete Kontrol and then quickly changed the subject. Hardware control though - honestly I’m not sure why they bothered putting midi ports on the back. It has one midi channel and there’s no way to map midi at all. It’s just a keyboard with aftertouch, a mod and pitch bend wheel. I had to buy a Novation SL mkIII which is now my main keyboard (and I own K13 CE). Right to ask the questions Nick, and I’m not going to say he was lying, but he skirted around the questions you asked. Should have said “oh midi - great! Here’s a hardware synth - show us how the keyboard’s built in arp works with it”. He’d have run off the set.

Can’t wait for the touch screen in mk3 😁

Yes!! Time for an upgrade. Where's the studio one support at ?

Can't wait for the maschine mk3 demo

Been doing this in reason for years !!!!

I didn't know Danny Ainge was that into music, WOW.

Looks great. When is the full size 88 key keyboard coming out.

Is there going to be Reaper support in the future? Also, does this work great with non NKS instruments?

where is 88 version? ANd why still no any Faders/Sliders?

I was looking for something akin to Karma lab program, where it is actually a musically creative tool. I wish someone would advance that idea further. This product looks like a good way to control Ableton with fewer mouse clicks which always helps.

It would be interesting to know if the S25 and S88 keyboards are going to get the MK2 upgrade treatment as well?

Do the transport controls work with Studio One? I have Pro Tools but it's not compatible. I'm looking into getting a more MIDI composer friendly DAW.

I like everything except for the price :-)

my dream midi controller cv out, sequencer (like doepfer dark time), drum pad (like mpc), motorized fader (like mackie mcu pro), fatar key

I hope it support more then one midi track this time, but this look great.

I want native instruments to add better integration for other DAW's, like FL. You have to use the Mackie profile with the Kontrol M1 and it kinda sucks.

Does anyone know if the S49/S61 allows you to transpose from the front panel whilst playing live? Many Thanks

I just ordred it from Bankok to day....after watching this video. Thank you 🎼

Its not too late for the 88 key version. 1. Add a least two faders (ON THE LEFT!) for us orchestral library users. Talk to ANY pro composer and they'll tell you the same. Tired of the KorgNANO, JLCooper, Behringer extras. Thats why I bought the MPK88. 2. Make it more solid. 3. Add more felt or something so the keys are less thumpy / noisy 4. (IMPORTANT) Work with the Vienna Symphonic guys to create a NKS passthrough for VE Pro 6.X. I'm missing all the helpful Kontakt stuff because the interface is inside VEPro on another computer.

Would like to see someone experimenting it with Reason 9.5. Just sold my Nektar P4. I'm using mostly Kontakt libraries at the moment and this might be a good way to get a smooth workflow.

this is massive

What about editing instruments, is it a touch screen with displays of envelopes, filter, LFO, modulation choices......??????

Maby for the mk3 and button to enable or disable preview sounds. u can scroll and if u think maby here you can enable it ?

"You'll be very familiar with the Machine idea view" :D

Hey Native instruments the s49 and s61 can be used in Propellerheads Reason 10. Will the Komplete Kontrol work in Reason also ?

Does the semitone transpose buttons work in MIDI mode on this one?

The complexity of the browser and daw-wiring is something ALL video editing manufacturers should take a look at. I think, Push, Maschine and these keys should be given some templates for FCPX, Adobe Premier etc. That would really speed up my work and they are all quite visual anyway. Too many animations and pictures rather distract me from making good sounds.

8:20 Is that preview mode going to be backwards compatible to the Kontrol MK1?

3:06 does it not work as well with Pro Tools DAW?

Will future proofing your projects be harder with all those NKS plugins in there?

10:07 I didn't expect THAT beat :-)

Where i can buy decksaver for KK 61s Mk2?

I am quite new to DAWs & controllers etc. If I understand it, you can address NI Komplete software, NKS instruments and external software instruments? Thus far, I only have the latter which of course I don't want to lose access to. I find it all pretty frustrating; I have Studio One and a Faderport 8. This NI keyboard is fully integrated with most of Studio One's rivals, but not with Studio One (yet). And the Faderport is only fully integrated with Studio One and not the others! It's like spinning plates and makes me want to go back and practice the piano...

How would I enable the text to speech with this one?

Hello fellow produces is there anyway I can use my Maschine MK3 to control komplete kontrol software it's ridiculous having to use a mouse when I have a controller that looks like the komplete kontrol hardware

looks nice, but are 8 buttons enough for mixing?

Does anyone know what this is like with bitwig 2? Need to know asap

Dude did everything he could to NOT say prices. Host did not wanna let up lol

Why does it have lights above the keys? I do’t like “blinky lights”.

Abelton....what about the Sound designers and the like that use other DAW's....I use my MK1 keyboard with Cubase

Faders are missing! :)

dont forget about FL StuDio native instrument

Nice

Nice controller I’ll give my 2 cents after NAMM 2018

What happens if you don't load the Komplete Kontrol in a certain channel? Instead, if you load a VST or native instrument from Ableton Live. Do the Keyboard screen and knobs work in that case?

With all that open real estate to the right, they could've put drum pads like most other high end controllers.

How much do you think the mk3 and the mk2 is going to cost? :)

Do I have to connect it to a computer to play it?

You guys think we’re going to get a 88 version?

Cant want for Komplete Kontrol MK5 controller keyboard to come out........ hehehe :)

And you would think they would have learned to release the S76 and S88 in the mean time of the S49 and S61 models? Apparently not!... c'mon NI!

Is this possible to reverse keys on this device natively so i can play as left handed keyboard player with out going to other 3rd party solutions like i do now? Right now i use Boomes Midi Translator to do that but i wish I could do that internally on controller keyboard.

Nick seems very sceptical to me when it comes to NI. Ive got the feeling hes a not to big fan of all them flashy lights n"scenes"concept of which he clearly had no idea of :) but he still showes interest and asks the right questions: and can you turn it off?! love you, nick

Does anybody know when they'll release the S88 one?

Still not wotks in FL studio?

exactly

Does it have polyphonic after touch?

we need an s88 though.

WE WANT MASCHINE TO RECORD AUDIO!!!

Can someone tell me how to work a sustain pedal into the s61 mk2?

Agnostic buttons??

FL Studio integration ??

Can somebody please tell me why there isn't a decent keyboard controller on the market today which support: Polyphonic After touch? And I am not talking about that awkward ROLI keyboard or the little tiny plastic Xkey controllers. It really baffles me. In the 90's and 80's they were actually miles ahead in terms of after touch and keyboards if you ask me. The only keyboard that comes close is the Elka 88 weighted keyboard controller that has Poly pressure support ( i can't remember it's official name ). So sad!

Pads? Fadders?

Why does it always have to be some completely mindless noise when they demo these things?

It works with logic x pro?

the buttons are only for machine software?? I have Ableton, but I'm worried if I can't utilize all the buttons without their own software.

Best $799 I've spent, just got Komplete 11for $199to

How come u guys never mention pro tools? Why use anything else? This as well as maschine mk3 work well with pro tools 12.5 hd.

lol that track

Is this a midi Only or dö it have sounds in board

Would be nice if there was FL studio support... People having been asking for it for years now

Why is it always bloody Ableton Live?????

so basically this wont work with flstudio which so many people use? seriously this even works with garage band and i have barely seen anyone use that in years

Will this be supported in 5 years??

Wnen will it work with other popular DAWS like reaper

8:41 can you switch off 👍😀😀
