Komplete Kontrol focuses on one aspect of the Kore vision: providing a unified user experience across all NI’s many and various software instruments. You’ve probably already figured this is more than a MIDI control keyboard, so what is it? First, it’s not Kore reincarnate, at least not entirely. The Komplete Kontrol S–Series is the obvious next step, bringing a hardware front–end to the mighty Komplete instruments bundle, and a high-quality keyboard option for Maschine users or NI–centric users of other DAWs. NI have more or less defined the shape of modern hybrid music production and performance with their Maschine and Traktor Kontrol ranges. Otherwise I guess it will go the same way as the automap.NI turn their hybrid expertise to keyboard design with an innovative controller for Komplete and Maschine. I hope that this get updated to modern DAW's environment and get into the VST. I kicked out the automap after quite short period. NKS is closed, but the VST is a open-source project even if Steinberg keeps the rights) Now they have build a new "standard" on a very old standard. It would have been very much better if it had been apart of the DAW and the pluginstandard how it should work. I do really like the goal for this plugin. (It might intentional if you think it should be done form the controller) But it also does not resize and everything seems to be fixated. It's not obvious how to control it from the querty-keyboard. You also lose Quick Control, Ai-knob and sample accurate automation.Ībout the plugin it self. Current VST version is 3.6 and has added a lot of features that can not be used with Komplete Kontrol, and if you have a instrument that is VST3 only it can not be used.
Komplete Kontrol v2.2.0 is using the obsoleted VST2.4. However you also lose a few important things. It is amazing that it is not part of the plugin format and you need some extra stuff for that. You get a standard way for browsing out presets with sound. NI have taken it one step further than Novation and put more constraints to the plugin so it can know little bit more. You create a shell where you run the plugin and have control of it's input and output. The product idea is very similar to Novation Automap.
