The "M" Format: Komplete DNA in a Mobile Version
The Komplete Kontrol M32 condenses the philosophy of Komplete Kontrol keyboards into a lightweight, portable chassis. It features NKS integration, tag-based navigation, and intelligent mapping, while prioritizing portability. It incorporates the hallmarks of the S/A series (Push 4D, Smart Play, OLED navigation), concentrated in a controller designed for quick sketching, beatmaking, and production on the go or in the home studio.
Who Is It For and What Is It For?
Mobile producers, content creators, beatmakers, and demanding beginners will appreciate its immediate control over key parameters and transport functions of major sequencers. The optimized key travel and Pitch/Mod touch strips provide sufficient expressiveness for melodic lines, basses, and automations without cluttering the desk or multiplying control surfaces.
Features That Speed Up Workflow
Smart Play puts scales, chords, and arpeggios at your fingertips to enrich harmonies and progressions, regardless of your skill level. The Push 4D encoder and OLED display streamline preset navigation, parameter editing, and visual tracking, allowing you to stay focused on listening rather than the computer screen.
Thanks to NKS compatibility, your supported instruments and effects open with relevant pre-assigned controls. Integration with Maschine and major DAWs (Logic Pro X, GarageBand, Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo) enables recording, quantizing, looping, and playback directly from the keyboard for a seamless flow from idea to arrangement.

I bought it because it's the best mid-range master keyboard of any brand. But when I plugged it into my PC the key lights flashed and the PC didn't recognize it. I learned on the NI site that you need a Core i5 processor to make it work, which is not indicated on Woodbrass. But why such a powerful processor for a master keyboard?!

Little experience with this keyboard. But based on the equipment previously owned, I would say:
+ beautiful design
+ sensitive rotators
+ illuminated transport buttons
- you have to get used to the mini format of the keys
- writing on the LCD screen too small
- on/off button would have been preferable
- no midi ports
- loud buttons
maybe a mini 4 octave keyboard in the future?Automatically translated

I already have Native Instrument products. It is qualitative, easy to use with a complete software package. Overall a very good product, compact and reliable. The only downside: the noise (click) of the buttons is a bit too loud. Soft buttons should have been used.

Easy to pair and use with Komplete Control software. All the buttons serve a purpose (unlike the Akai Mini that I had) and the number of keys is the right compromise in my opinion for a user who like me is not a pianist.

Excellent value for money, very good keyboard for beginners, even for starting to learn a little piano. Its plugins and functions applicable to Komplete Kontrol reinforce inspiration. I recommend it to those who want to get started in computer music.
