Good Piece of kit, with the Komplete package

I was dubious at first, as I was worried about the Komplete integration being a bit laggy, as I have found in the past. Im glad to say that it seems to be a lot faster than previous versions. the integration with the my daw/vsts is good. The third party integration is good, but not as pretty as the nks integrated synths. Overall it's a good buy.

Bought this to replace my Akai advanced which is a great keyboard. With very similar functionality. But it started throwing out random midi messages. It served me well though. So it's on to the Next Chapter with S49 Mk3. Hopefully there will be a few more updates, with more tricks up there sleeves. To add to a very Komplete keyboard Already. 🙂
