No extra faders to link to a mixer, no MPC pads or extra buttons.
In fact, there is a main block of buttons for controlling DAWs and synthesizers, plus 8 rotary controls for playing with the instrument live and an LED display for displaying settings.
Of the minuses, we note the limited controls. The keyboard has a built-in arpeggiator and the Smart Play function, which allows you to select the desired key in advance and transfer all the necessary notes to the white keys so as not to fall “by the notes”. The keyboard itself turned out to be very good and comfortable, the keys are responsive with aftertouch support. Fortunately, the NKS standard is supported not only by instruments from Native Instruments itself, but also from those dozens of well-known manufacturers like Waldorf, Waves, Softube, Arturia and Output. Needless to say, how much it simplifies the work with the keyboard? Just plug and play. Instead of the usual MIDI mapping, the main instrument controls are immediately tied to the keyboard encoders, and additional buttons allow you to switch synthesizers and presets with settings on the fly. The main feature of the new keyboards from Native Instruments is the support for the NKS format, which greatly simplifies the work with virtual instruments.
