It’s only a 32-note keyboard and combined with smaller keys, it covers a very small footprint and is as light as a feather. Unboxing M32, you start to believe that to be the case, as initially you feel like you are unboxing nothing, it’s so light. Whichever way you look at it, some shortcuts must have been made, right?
The big gain for NI has to be that newcomers to music-making will forever worship the company for making their entry-point so cheap, and then upgrade to NI’s vast suite of other software by way of thanks. When we first encountered the M32, I bemoaned the fact that it used to cost newcomers a fortune to get into music production, and now you can do it for very little money. I’d buy that for less than 200 quid.”īut just when you think it couldn’t get any better, along comes the M32, and it’s cheaper still! Just £99 gets you the keyboard, and yes, there’s even a bundle of instruments and other software thrown in not as good as with the A-Series, nor a patch on the full suite of KK software, but it’s still one heck of a lot of hardware and software for just two figures of cash… How? Why? What the heck! You’d think that £149 for a piece of hardware that controls a bunch of great software is a great price, and I certainly did, concluding that: “You get a full-sized keyboard, a bunch of high-quality plug-ins and a great conversation between the two of them.
This Native Kontrol Standard is Native’s way of integrating its ever-cheapening hardware with it and third-party software, with hardware controls automatically assigning themselves to much-used software parameters, thus making the whole software-hardware thing very seamless.
