NI Komplete Keyboard controller / interface

Not quite sure what this is going to be and I probably won't want one because I'm not a keyboard guy but it looks interesting for sure .

Different sized keyboards which all look cheaply made. Not really my cup of tea.

Those things are hideous . Not at all what I was concocting in my mind from the commercial .

The LED scribble strips under the knobs look good.

Needs more knobage though.

Cross a maschine stubio with a keyboard and Shaazaamm.

Oops. my spells off. I was trying for this.




Or was it, this.



Got Dammit, now where is that book of spells.

I got it. Abra Kadaba, yes its new. Make a keyboard that's, look like a Maschine Studio too.

If you look at the NI community forum, (or any other related forum for that matter) there's more than enough complaints about failing hw and poor customer service to dissuade me from their products.

The more I use my akai studio and mpc the more impressed I am of the product and it's potential- I dont see why I need to disrupt my mojo with fraught hw

You guys forgot to mention the pricing, that's definitely the ugliest part of the equation.

price is relative to what you can afford

No it's not in this case.
If you you look at the pricing scheme you will see the point.
Those controllers are over priced even if you buy them without Komplete let alone what they cost with Komplete.

Being able to pay for something has little to do with whether or not it makes sense to pay that amount.
Seems to be why so many people money comes in and goes right back out.
