Customer reviews about Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A49

S

I haven't had so much fun in years!

Soak 07.06.2021

I bought the keyboard mainly because I just wanted to change my MIDI controller but it changed my whole creative workflow!! It's so easy to use and integrate with the software that I can just sit by the keyboard for hours and hours trying sounds and effects without the choppy clicking GUI in the way!

The feel of the keyboard is great and for the price I thought the software included was really good value. The only cons I can think of is that the keys are a bit clunky and heavy (got used to this after some time) and that it lacks a MIDI-output.

Pros:
- Intuitive hardware
- Price
- Build and overall feel

Cons:
- Key press is a bit "clunky"
- No MIDI output

The perfect keyboard

Haron Fog 15.12.2021

I replaced my akai mpk mini with this fantastic komplete kontrol A49, needless to say, I'm super satisfied with making this choice!
First of all it is super elegant and very clean, and I also find the keys it has are of excellent quality.
One thing I also loved is that after entering the code you find inside the box you have access to lots of high quality native instruments products.
Super recommended for your studio!!

Brilliant

Sam Cheesmore 06.11.2018

Have been looking for a good quality 49 key midi keyboard for some time, chose this one because of the included NI software. Extremely pleased with with the build quality of the product, absolute unit!
getting to grips with the ins and outs of utilising it fully can be tricky at times but absolutely worth it when it works.
For the money, this is easily the best quality and value-for-money 49 key midi keyboard I've encountered!

Can navigate Komplete patches in Pro Tools

Oli_Wh 07.07.2020

Even though a few of the features don’t work in PT (play/rec buttons) I was very pleased to find that I could navigate patches nonetheless.
Not a fan of the 4D button for navigation though. Separate buttons would work better.

How did I live without this?

MatFuz 19.10.2023

For a small home studio. Perfect. I am now an acolyte. Is this what getting an iPhone for the first time feels like?

If you want soft and sensitive keys - be sure to buy it!

Damian Wasse 25.11.2019

Very pleasant to the touch, pressing and softness. They are like real piano mechanics, but still remain half-weighted. NI achieved the perfect technology to get as close to hammer mechanics as possible. I am a pianist and I feel it, very soft pressing, smooth and sensitive. You will be delighted. Super soft and pleasant knobs & modulation and pitch knobs - processed with special rubber, which gives a tactile delight. Highly recommend!

This is the best master keyboard I had so far

Pavel Doronin 06.03.2021

This is my fifth MIDI keyboard and the best one so far. The feeling of keys and knobs is just great, a pure pleasure to play.

I would outline only one thing in the cons section: USB cable. I had to get a USB-B to USB-C cable and it did not fit well because the hole for the USB-B port is too small (Maschine has the same problem). So I ordered another cable and meanwhile I am using an adapter. I would prefer to have a choice what version of the USB cable I need.
