But I hear the chopping is great on machine, and you also get kontact and reactor.īut so many things don't sit well with me, it's workflow involves jumping through different windows continually having to click multiple buttons (unless you have a mpcX), everything is seperated, and the pads suck, it's not a live performance sequencer, lack of disk-streaming makes multi-sampling or clip-launching useless, the bugs, unflexible sounding synths, opening projects taking too long for a live scenario, the looper is very basic. AIR effects are good, multiple outs are useful, a fat 1TB SSD of samples has ok management of files, included drum packs are solid. The MPC is amazing at chopping, I've had it 6months, and I've learnt loads about sample chopping with MPC tutorials online. To be fair, I had a great time playing a piano on the pads of the M+ for a couple of hours at the weekend. I have an older Novation keyboard, the Impulse 25, which is ok for now if a bit large for my desk space. Thanks mainly wondering whether they were suggesting that the Komplete Kontrol features opened up anything useful. The KK devices are great if that's your main mode of playing keyboards with your DAW, but if you don't have one now, the M+ works fine without them, and for extensibility sake, the Novation LK MK3 is better since the functions are available stand alone. FWIW, I'd get a Novation LaunchKey MK3 since these modes work stand alone and can be used with the Maschine+, iOS, and all your regular synth gear in stand alone mode.

I just think it means you'll be able to take advantage of the Scales, Chords and Arp modes on the Komplete Kontrol devices. What does this mean? Is it worth getting one of their keyboards for?
