In this video we take a look at the new features on Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol Mk2.
MADE TO BE PLAYED
With the latest generation of KOMPLETE KONTROL, music-making becomes a more intuitive, hands-on experience. Perform expressively, browse and preview sounds, tweak parameters, sketch your ideas, then navigate and mix your project - all from one fully integrated centerpiece for studio and stage.
IMMERSIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK
See everything you need, when you need it, where you need it: Two high-res color screens provide essential information on sounds and projects, backlit function buttons vary in color and intensity to indicate their state, and the precision Light Guide pinpoints the location of sounds, key zones, switches, scales, and more.
FIND YOUR SOUNDS FASTER
Finding the right sound amongst a sprawling sound library can be difficult, not to mention time consuming. Now you can find exactly what you’re looking for across all KOMPLETE and Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) instruments using a simple, intuitive tagging system - directly from the hardware. What’s more, you can hear an instant preview of each sound as you browse.
Need a hip hop kit? Select Drums ,U rban Drum Kit , Sample-based, scroll through the presets and pick the right one for your track. If you really like what you hear, just tag it as a Favorite for instant access next time.
PRE-MAPPED AND READY TO PLAY
All of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments are pre-mapped to the KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware by the people who know them best - the instrument designers themselves. All essential parameters load instantly and are displayed across the two color displays, intuitively divided into pages. That means you can see exactly what you’re adjusting in real time - whether it’s in kHz, dB, or BPM.
PRO PERFORMANCE
Stay-on key, with notes of the currently selected scale or mode lit on the Light Guide. Activate chord mode to create a progression by playing single keys, then switch on the arpeggiator and turn it into an expressive musical performance. And for keyboard novices, Easy Mode maps the white keys to whichever scale you like, so you’ll never hit a wrong note.
PRECISION PITCH, MOD, AND EXPRESSION
Get precise control of pitch and mod functions via two ergonomic, rubberized wheels. And the ultra-sensitive touch strip provides a fun, responsive alternative to plugging in a dedicated expression pedal.
GET HANDS-ON WITH YOUR WORKFLOW
Capture all your ideas, directly from the keyboard itself: KOMPLETE KONTROL gives you immediate access to transport, mixing, and editing controls in Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, and GarageBand, complete with visual feedback and volume metering on the keyboard’s built-in displays. And with MIDI in / out, incorporating outboard gear into your setup is just as simple.
Note: Advanced integration with Cubase and Nuendo will be available via a free update in late 2017.
INTEGRATION FOR ALL YOUR INSTRUMENTS
NKS means intuitive control over hundreds of instruments from leading manufacturers - including Heavyocity, Spitfire and Soniccouture. This extended plug-in format allows all developers to define the way their products integrate with NI hardware, so support for powerful features like tag-based browsing, Light Guide feedback, and pre-mapped controls now extends far beyond the KOMPLETE universe. And for VST instruments that haven’t yet been updated to NKS, it’s simple to create your own mappings from KOMPLETE KONTROL software.

Just discovered you while in the proccess of buying a controller keyboard . So impressed with how precise and professional your presentation is.
It’s great to find someone who has done their homework intelligently. I’ve just watched a couple of real ‘numpty’s ‘ who hadn’t a clue what they were talking about.
So thanks 🙂
well done man I have watched NI's own video and you have just made a much more informative and comprehensive walkthrough brilliant!
You all probably dont care at all but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Salvatore Gus instablaster :)
I have the MK1 love it! Buying MK2 just for the being able to see the mix window on the controller and having physical mod/pitch wheels. Edit: Great walkthrough!
JVD3 yes it is stupid selling mk2... mk1 does great job... don't see any great reason selling it comparing mk2
Shake speare I’ve had it right over two years ZERO problems with anything
thank you so much for this. I’ve been researching for a month and yours is the best, most concise video yet. Seriously thank you so much for taking the time to get it right - well done sir!
The ultimate toy. No one really needs this but it's sooo cool
Tutorial is first class. Learned a lot.
MK-3: Touchscreens!
Another thorough video
Brilliant video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just want I wanted to know when other channels could not. Clearly Komplete Kontrol sound library works with Ableton. The a benefit of the MK2 is the navigation of that lib which if using the PUSH2 which I have would be text based even tho on the PC screen it would look fine in Ableton. The MK2 has a visual cue where as if you just have the PUSH2 you would have to look back at the PC screen both have the audio preview. What this means to me is that I can buy the MK2 keyboard and Komplete Ultimate with confidence. Thank you so much for doing this demo to prove this. I did not want to have to buy a Machine Mk3 just to use the sound lib I have a PUSH2 for that. Now I have a greate keyboard that can control my sounds lib better than push - they now work well together :)
Thank you for excellent review
Hey man, thanks for this great and amazing informative overview, very well done !!! 🙂
Phenomenal video. I noticed that when you recorded a clip, it recorded until you stopped it. Is there a way to do that when using maschine or does the pattern always have to have a predefined length?
Can I connect this controller to for example a Roland Boutique synth via midi and use the Light Guide to show me the scale I want to use?
Yeah, it will just send the midi you've selected
dope!
Can this MK2 transpose in semitones while it is in MIDI mode (being used as controller for instruments other than Native Instrument's software). MK1 only transposed semitones inside of Native instrument's software.
Great job man! Thanks!
Hello and thank you for your good video. Is the Komplete Kontrol S61 MKII compatible with The last Mac M1? Thank you.
Awesome presentation. Watching this while I still can't get my Advance 49 to work :/
Why akai its'n good like this one?
i got the m-audio version with the VIP software, sounds like that might be the problem you have? I cannot decide if this is going to serve my purposes better yet. Hit me up if you got questions with that VIP stuff, i can probably help you out.
Thanks! very helpful
Nice tune
Good video, can you confirm I have to press SHIFT, then push the big knob up, then turn the rotary knobs to Pan, ( 3 movements just to pan?) when I can point instantly at the pan knob with my mouse with ONE movement!? or am I wrong?
love the mk2 .. Great videos! subscribed :)
Good review
Do u know what this is like with bitwig 2? I just pre ordered it but i don't know if i made the right decision now. Btw i alsohave komplete 11
Has anyone figured out Keyboard splits for MK2? I use that for live setup and don't see any info on it. Great Video!
Great keyboard, the only thing I'm still struggling with is the touch strip, can't seem to find a way to assign or map it to anything am I missing something? Tried it on ableton tried it as well in KK without success 🤔🤔🤔
Thx for your video! Are the keys the same "bad" Fatar?
Waited 2 months for mine and it came with 3 dead keys . Returned the next day . Waiting again for a new unit
Does all the library you used in the video come with product or you integrated them? THX
I'm using the MK1 at the moment in Ableton and I like it. But with Mk1 if you select a Track in Ableton which has Komplet Kontrol in it the Keyboard will only control the instance of this track if you've selected the track with the keyboard, if you select the track with the mouse or another controller, the MK1 does not focus on this new track. Is this the same with MK2?
What are the other DAW's this controller works with ? Are the sounds coming from the
Komplete software ?
works with all daws
On-board integration is with Logic X, GarageBand and Ableton. Cubase/Nuendo is supposed to drop sometime before the year is out. Sounds are from Komplete, but also works with NI third-party partners supporting NKS such as Arturia and Rob Papen.
Can you make use of the scale/arp/chord functions outside of KK or is it just limited to nks system?
Please add an option for Poly Aftertouch like the CS80 and ensoniq keyboards EPS/ASR/VFX/TS range.
it has aftertouch.
ohhh didn't see the poly aftertouch part. don't know about that
Unfortunately , it not a software upgrade... its about the hardware..
As for a comparison:
Aftertouch to Poly aftertouch =/= Mono Synth to poly Synth.
FWIW, I hav an ASR10, When using it as a Controller keyboard, Some VI's respond to Poly aftertouch.... Its Glorious !
does anyone know how to map the touch strip to volume?
Can anyone tell me if this is would be a good Keyboard to use for a live set. I do not currently have ableton was just seeing if it would be good to use just the sounds form the keyboard hook it up to a computer and bring it to a sound board, and play it live not much prerecorded stuff. I do plan to get ableton later.
I don't like that they changed the key lights to be smaller.
Will all of this things work for fl studio 12
How will this work in pro tools?
I am having trouble using the pre-hear feature. When i browse through my libraries, only a very small handful of sounds preview upon scrolling.
In this video i see the pre-hear box on the display, but on my keyboard, that box either says empty, or the name of the library i have loaded. Any tips or advice? Thanks in advance
I found my solution, didnt realize there was a preview library i had to download with komplete kontrol! Everything is working perfect now. Thanks for the video
Does this work with sylenth 1
how does it work with other synths like Serum and Sylenth1? and is there a way to "make a new track" or do you have to do that in the DAW? (I use Logic ProX)
musician they're not NKS supported, so you won't have any parameters mapped out to the keyboard
galore I´ve seen that it is possible to let the 1st gen Komplete Kontroller control plugins like those I mentioned - and also customize which parameters you want to control. Wondered if there were any improvements..
Whats the tune in the background on the start of the video ?
or is it just a non released demo ha ?
The question I have is can you use this by itself & not have to buy a Maschine controller?
+Sinosure no need for Maschine.
Can this be used without the computer now? Just plug in some headphones and play whatever the instrument sound is loaded into the machine?
Gilotopia it’s a midi controller, no sounds are loaded/being processed by the controller. It’s just controlling komplete software and your DAW. If you want something with an internal sound module check out the korg Kronos, etc.
Awethentic.Life I understand that it's a midi controller but this limitation is really arbitrary in today's world. The computer necessary to store the samples and generate the sound fits in the size of a fingernail. The Teenage Engineering op-1 works without a computer too. Native instruments should just include this option in their next generation. That way you can work in the studio on the computer and when you have to go to a performance you can just rely on the stuff you saved in the machine.
Gilotopia I’m sorry but what you’re saying is simply false. Comparing this to the OP-1 is comparing apples to oranges. The OP-1 is a small workstation/sequencer designed for travel and fun. You’re right that those sounds can be stored and processed by small chips but komplete is a whole different beast. Ultimate 11 has a library of about 400gb, requires a fast quad core processor to run and at least 8gb ram for substantial kontakt libraries. Not to mention that you’d also have to build in a high quality A-D converter, and an analog output stage for this to be turned into a workstation. That’s why this costs $700 and high end workstations like the korg Kronos cost $3k+ ... NI is not trying to create a workstation; they’ll leave that happily to korg and Yamaha. They’re trying (and succeeding) at creating one of the most fluid and integrated hardware/software systems with high quality DAW control.
Awethentic.Life I completely understand but they could easily have a $100 plugin box with 64gb of memory that carries just your selection of samples you decided to take with you. If they don't have it I might just make one.
@@Gilotopia I know what you're saying but it's just not built for that. There are plenty of stand alone keyboards that also have midi output, have a look at one of those.
ARE THEY SEMI_WEIGHTED?!?!
"Shtewdio"
Yo man, sick video!! You deserve more subs tbh. I actually make videos of my bmw, and if you're into cars I'd love some feedback!! Appreciate it.
Goodness, you talk really fast.
Sorry to say but I can't hardly understand a word and I'm not a beginner.
Andrew B cause you are an idiot
Yawn....
Roses are red
Go get some beer
If you are bored
So why are you here?
