The displays are really nice and easy to work with. The button and pot feel is solid enough and consistent. I think my Motif would survive a drop better than this would. The look and feel of the machine (no pun intended) is nice. I like the MK2's keyboard better than them all.
CONTROLLER EDITOR KOMPLETE KONTROL PRO
Right now I bounce between a Motif XF6, DX-7II, Sub 37 and A-300 Pro for keyboard control. I'm also not a great keyboard player and while feel isn't as super-critical to me as it is to many pro players I do appreciate a nice key bed. I just got my Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 two days ago and so far I have to say I'm pretty pleased.įirst, I never had the MK1 to compare to. Still - I am having fun with it - and thats the main thing - aint gonna sell my 88 yet tho. Yep - it definitely feels 'rushed' as far as its firmware/software integration is concerned.Īnd - may I say - not including a PSU is pretty cheeky. I was considering returning it straight away - but - what do I replace it with? It really is a lovely little thing - and those screens. I am going to stick with the 61 - to be fair - its brilliant with Maschine (well - it would be) and the previews are a superb touch. I have to say the 61 is a lovely piece of kit - and is beautifully put together - but - it is nowhere near the quality of the 88 - yes - I know it is much cheaper - but the 88 'feels' worth its money - the 61 MKII doesn't. My workaround is to switch the 61 off BEFORE starting Reaper, then switch the 61 on after Reaper is loaded - then 'reset midi devices'(I have created a shortcut) Its a bit of a pain. I also have issues with '.ports could not be opened.' when I start Reaper. Unfortunately - the '88 is a HUGE beast and I have struggled to accommodate it in my teeny 'studio' - soooo - tempted by the 61 MKII I thought - go for it (and a Maschine MK3 into the bargain)Īs you say - the bl**dy transport controls do not work on the 61 - I HOPE this is sorted at some point. I have been using an S88 for a year with Reaper - and it has been a star - no issues - the transport works great and all is good - sure - there is no 'deep' integration - but I knew that and am delighted how it has worked so far. If it wasn't for the new wheels I might think about sending it back and sticking with the MK1, but they are here and they feel good and that was one of the big reasons for me to update.ĭoes anyone have any inside info if/when we at least might see the return of the transport controls, etc?
Overall though it feels rushed, I'm not sure why they would release it with several key features unimplemented. Main 8 controller knobs seem more consistently made, same amount of resistance in each, nice touch sensitivity on the caps. When browsing you ONLY see the browsing GUI on the little MK2 screens, it doesnt show up on the main DAW screen any more (might be a way to bring it back? or have both)ġ0. All MIDI Hardware/Controller editing is now done inside the Komplete Kontrol application.ĩ. The Controller Editor is dead, no longer works with the Mk2.

The entire Perform panel for adjusting curves, wheels, touchstrip is not implemented yet, again there is no way to do it until they release an update (BAD NI!)Ĩ. Same goes for editing the color of the light guide.ħ. The touchstrip control doesnt work yet, just outputs MIDICC 11 until an update is released. MK2 Bonus Points: you can view/filter by favorites with the touch of a button including previews. The Previews worked fine in My Mk1 Browser, seems equally fine in the Mk2 browser.

There is a distinct lack of documentation apart from a link to download the manual, it would have been nice to have a 'getting started' or something as there are several unlabeled new buttons and the overall layout has changed a lot.ĥ. I assume that apart from the main DAWs mentioned with the MK2 release, other DAWs no longer have any KK compatibilityĤ. There is no longer a 'Komplete Kontrol - DAW' MIDI object showing up in Reapers MIDI prefs or surface/OSC prefs. The transport controls no longer work in Reaper, due to the new API for communicating with DAWS mixers, etc. The Mk2 can run off USB power solely, but for hardware MIDI to work (and for the Mk2 screens/lights to be 10-15% brighter) an AC adapter must be used ($25 at NI site, $7-10 on Amazon)ģ. Good and bad, easier to move but feels flimsier than MKI.Ģ. The Mk2 is much lighter than the Mk1, no metal in the upper case anymore, no rubber endcaps, everything is lightweight plastic.
