Komplete Kontrol A61 : A61 first glance

So after few hours fiddling with this keyboard

The build quality is great and key action is a little bit on the heavy side, which is good.

The sound library that comes with it is really good, especially the Gentleman piano and Scarbee electric piano, high quality.

Not to mention the tons of other sounds.

However there are some drawbacks.

Usability is not great.

The data screen is very small and not very helpful.

It will take you some time to learn all the functions because this product is not very intuitive.

If you want better usability take a look at the S series which comes with big color screens.

There is no option to set the global velocity curve and no way to set global volume from the keyboard.

Both these features are usually taken for granted and you may be disappointed when you find out they don't exist in the A series.

To sum up, good value for money.
