Great demonstration! Also THANK YOU for not having a long intro. Nice to have someone get right to the point, and make it so cogently for the product.

I am just non-electronic musician, know how to play banjo and guitar and may be a few other stringed instruments. But intrigued with electronic music and trying to wet my feet in this realm. First step is to get a MIDI keyboard. I absolutely loved how Zach made some dope music from scratch as he demonstrated the features of the keyboard. Thank you! I have subscribed and hope to see more of your content.

Real Name, No Gimmicks! 🔥🔥

[@KarmaOfDisgust]

i wanna full music production course from this guy, he is lit!

[@GregRband]

That would be seriously cool, I agree!!!!

[@GregRband]

Coming back to revisit this video and demo of the M32. This has got to be one of the coolest and inspirational videos out there for Ableton integration, and chill vibe demo that sounds So Good! Additionally, an easy to follow highlight of so many important feature sets and scenarios to grasp/ponder. Thanks Mad Zach and NI!

[@GregRband]

I agree with someone else below that said a full production course from Mad Zach/NI/Ableton would be Ultimate! Start to finish song production in same mellow and clear style he does here. Maybe it already exists? If not.... Get On It Team! :P

[@lucasrobertomusic8922]

Just got this today. I'm in love with it!

[@idobh5146]

It comes with abelton inside the box?

[@StavrosZachariasOfficial]

i love you Native Instruments

[@PaulMcMahonCreative]

This is great, really puts everything into context so well!

[@ruthbarnes9229]

I love how streamlined that was. Nice work, Mad Zach!

[@bboymac84]

Zach is back!!

[@PPCMusicTV]

So good - both the controller and Zachs explanation and tune! Keep 'em coming :)

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

I am very tempted to get this as a portable keys controller for when I am on the go. Currently I use the Maschine Jam which is excellent as a portable controller. Mad Zach played a big part in me getting that as well.

[@jbds7192]

Mascine jam like me;)

[@tangoramirez7922]

Thanks Mad Zach

[@JoseBasilio-hk8ye]

This has got to be in the top 3 midis and I would put this on 1 because it’s portable small packed in with soooo much good features I rate 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for this it’s 139$ or maybe even cheaper if you can find one

[@od628]

I get mine in two days. I can't wait. Great video!

Cool demo, Mad Zach is dope

[@KaitavSapreMusic]

Great keyboard, great demonstration! That delay-ed lead at 8:21 sounds really good! By the way: Bexy Sitch :D

[@RAME]

You can easily do it with any plugin, by assigning and defining arpeggio..

[@radofnf]

Agree. Im on repeat with that moment :D

[@GregRband]

Great video and demo of the whole deal here... thanks NI and Mad Zach!

[@dagalost1949]

this guy knows his thing.

[@ajmartinez115]

Was trying to decide between this and Arturias lab series, good to know a lot of things that was making me lean towards the keylab are also featured on this and is still in the Native Instrument family like I’ve grown accustomed to. Makes my decision that much harder!

[@noodlingaround2023]

Aj Martinez: I'm going for the Arturia Minilab mkII, despite the fact I've got NI's Komplete 11.. If you use Ableton, and if this is anything like the A-25, which I tried, then I'm sure that Arturia machines communicate better with Ableton..

[@FrakBeats]

@@noodlingaround2023 bought this and am now selling my minilab mk2. this is much better with ableton.

[@noodlingaround2023]

Frak Beats, how is better if you don't mind me asking? I read the knobs on the Arturia, being endless, were better to control Ableton's effects. And the A-25 I had was a pain when trying to map the knobs to the effects. Does the M-32 map pretty easily..? The Arturia's size is also better for portability..?

[@prospectnyc]

How does it work with non Native Instruments software? Previous NI controllers were very unstable when used just as MIDI controllers without the NI software.

[@montazownianr1]

I also wanna know.

[@michaltanay2315]

I can use Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1 USB Audio Interface ? Or will be better Native Instruments Komplete Audio 2 USB Audio Interface ?

[@dani5645]

This is an amazing video. Thank you.

[@jonnycrozet4844]

The way he says mode is hillarious

[@robinvinith]

I can't stop thinking about a 25 key version of this controller.

[@minorseven2791]

Is Zach using his own computer here? It's an older MBP (pre 2016) than the ones native usually used in its promo videos.

[@re_negado]

0:34 Looped this like ten times in a row.

[@stylgen]

nice, can't wait for mine to come in

[@djstapler]

I bought this. One hell of a keyboard

[@lukewilliams7020]

Do the arp and chord features work in regular daws ? Or only if connected and using sounds through Komplete kingdom ?

[@TrNdke]

[@Lfunk1983]

[@LarsDanielTerkelsen]

And then you pull out the Scarbee Mark I, and I go: That is my old Rhodes. Like litterally. My buddy Thomas (Scarbee) borrowed my Rhodes for what ended up being about a year of sampling. Upside was, that he returned a perfectly adjusted and tuned Rhodes. :-D

[@zykerzybe6420]

i will buy this keyboard next month, together with micro machine. I can't wait!!! :D

[@thisisprisma]

did you buy it? thinking about doing the same...

[@holyrockstar]

Does the m32 work well in Maschine paired with the Mk3 mikro?

[@xenioxe]

I'm after the answer about the integration with other DAWs, especially with less used ones, for example Mulab. Could you tell me about that, please?

[@tshepomoleko6708]

I'm loving that chord progression

[@ReynaldoIvanPena]

🔥 A tutorial connecting this to PRO TOOLS would be great right about now 🙄

[@MrFree-vj8qj]

The endless cuts to his face were super informative.

[@Sarah2ill]

1:35 NO.

[@josiahbetweakin]

Hi Sarah

[@dvdny]

1:32 - what doing there, turning off 'record' from the push encoder wheel? (how to define loop length on the fly?)

[@kendrumusic5554]

basic question here, can you still map these knobs to automations you create in Ableton (and not in Komplete Control) ?

[@nikolacurcic9865]

You can,but you have to do it manually for every effect or plugin every time you use it. You can rewrite some Ableton script to make the mapping automatic I personally haven't dabbled in that, by SanjaayC explains how. (owner of a m32)

[@SoulVelocity]

Dope video Mad Zach, thanks for the demo!

[@DjAlkmst]

Awesome, can't wait to get mine. But why use the D-knob as a button for recording rather than the dedicated record button?

[@carlosaguilardelgado9391]

Can you upload the full version of the test song?

[@whoami3485]

got mine yesterday! really happy

[@Hrkortegaard]

4:27 Holy shit, that’s the Myxomatosis-sound (the track by Radiohead)!!

[@XEVIAN360]

Aaaaaaaaand.... bought! It's a lovely device! :D

[@gammaplayer]

I love how they use Live by Ableton, one of their biggest competitor, to show the features of their hardware. :) P.S. both Berlin based, so I like that :D

[@NativeInstruments]

Ableton folks are good old friends!

[@manofgoat]

HE IS SO FIRE!

[@ClicStudio]

Can’t wait to receive it! Too bad I had 84$ more to pay because I’m in Canada tho, even if when I bought it, it was saying that I shouldn’t have delivery taxes:/

[@martinvigo8589]

Amigo viene con los sonidos gratis o hay que comprarlos.

[@beatz04]

Heads up for PC users: This (just like the Mikro Mk3) will only work in Windows 10. Anything below that is not supported, which is a shame as it cuts out a lot of potential buyers (i know more people that haven't switched to Win10 than ones that have). Would be great if an update would be released to make this available for Win7 users as well.

[@jonahg.conrad9000]

Interesting... Here you don't write about it can't control the daw only the NI Software... I searched the whole internet there was nothing... Or is this caused by incompatibility with older OS than win 10? And if you meaning changed you should delete your other comment or solve it. Cause you could stop people buying this, though it's very good, would be sad anyone would get this cause you shared a wrong opinion. This is no front or anything. Opinions and knowledge changes... Would be great if you would revise it. If it's wrong, maybe there's a hidden truth... But I think there's an option to use it as daw-controller. It is written in the product description, that it is possible, I think they don't write things to sell their products they aren't true...

[@beatz04]

@ Jonah For the M32/A-Series keyboards (same technology) problems in regards to using them as a controller in Ableton etc. go to the NI forums (especially the "Komplete Kontrol" sub forum). As for incompatibility with any Window versions below Windows10, go to the respective "Requirements" section of the M32/A-Series/Maschine Mikro NI products page. I'm not making stuff up.

[@jonahg.conrad9000]

@@beatz04 I read something with a Midi- remote script which should allow to use as a daw-controller. The product itself is very good I think, but if it's impossible to use it as a daw-controller this wouldnt be worth it to buy. Sadly. But I think it's a software thing. Do you own the m32 and found out that what you're meaning by yourself?

[@jonahg.conrad9000]

Here a text from NI support in the forum: "If you're referring to Live's built-in plug-ins, you'll need to switch the M32 into MIDI mode (SHIFT+PLUG-IN button), then you can MIDI learn parameters from Live's plug-ins to the knobs on the M32. When the M32 is in Komplete Kontrol mode, it will only control parameters of the instruments and effects that are loaded in the Komplete Kontrol instrument rack or the transport and Mixer controls."

[@jonahg.conrad9000]

Well, but it's only possible via mapping. So you've to set the parameters byyourself, what is the same thing like at Alesis v49, akai apc40 mk2 has the presets because it's complete prepared for the use of Ableton... With my Alesis v49 have to set the parameters by myself that's not the problem I think.

[@lwpweb]

thanks for the demonstration, can you explain for what is the button IDEAS good for, it show a pattern number, but what for?

[@thisisprisma]

what's the integration with Maschine? does it pair well with the mikro mk3?

[@nikim]

hey great video i have just got myself a M32 but i cant get komplete kontrol to work correctly with ableton live 10 lite and its really frustrating can you help at all??

[@TheUnknownDJClub]

Hi, does the M32 keyboard come with the Accessibility Helper app, used in Maschine software? Thanks.

[@rosehill113]

If it only had the lights like the bigger controllers I’m still gonna buy the m32 regardless 😂

[@xexesingaming2088]

FOR YOUR SOUNDS CAN YOU USE THIS MIDI WITH SPLICE OR OTHER PLACES

[@SantiagoPortanova]

Gracias maestro!

[@jazRock13]

I have the Arturia Keystep, and it always bothered me that it did not have some knobs for mapping.. now I'm really tempted to get this... Also Mad Zach creating beats is always so sick... been a fan for the longest time.. XD

[@microfx]

this lacks After Touch though...

[@theoriginalheartstrummer]

I use a keystep to control my behringer model d and so I'm wondering if this would also be able to do that.

[@eonsfollower]

@@theoriginalheartstrummer This requires a USB MIDI host interface, check out loopop's new video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJa7pKqAf8iUqsU

Yeah youll get ableton

[@thijsjansenjazz]

@@Justadudeye ai thanks you

[@anonymoushuman8344]

Dear Native Instruments: How about making a controller with 5 octaves of the same keys as on the M32? There is a largely overlooked market for 5-oct controllers with minikeys. It would also be nice to have a mod wheel and pitchbend wheel as an option with this same form factor. A.H.

[@ilikemusak]

Agreed, that would be cool

[@anonymoushuman8344]

ilikemusak - I bet there are a lot of other people in the world of electronic music who would like 5 octaves of quality minikeys, especially in the modular community. Korg has had this available for years now in several versions with the MicroKey 61, which I own and like (for the most part). It's quite nice to have 5 full octaves that take up so little space on the desk. Plus it gives your fingers more reach across notes, letting you do things you can't on full-size keys. Throw in polyphonic aftertouch, eight or ten assignable rotary encoders, cv/gate, and 5-pin DIN midi and some company will have a controller many thousands of people will want.

[@FassinTaak]

@@anonymoushuman8344 I love my Microkey 49. Next controller is going to be an M-Audio Axiom or NI Komplete Kontrol.

[@TeleporterM11]

Can you play chords with it with just one key, without installing software

[@its0xFUL]

It's a midi controller. No sound without software.

[@TeleporterM11]

Tomáš Schmied Do you guys know that Novation has one that doesn’t require any NKS in order for you to get scales.

[@Th3Princ3P3rcia]

Does anyone know how did he load up maschine sounds to record midi in Ableton? Did he do ir through maschine 2 itself or through Komplete Kontrol?

[@TheFedericogalli]

Yeah I’m wondering the same if I shoud use ableton lite or not 🤔

[@mugzy113]

Just got my m32 but have no idea how to intergrate it with ableton please help!!! I know komplete Kontrol M daw as a control surface but idk how to get it work!!! I have a windows 10 computer how do I get it to work so smoothly like this!!

Which DAW did you use here in this video?

[@grantbaiman4925]

Cool video. Does the M32 midi keyboard also have accessibility functionality like the S61 midi keyboard for people who are blind?

[@TheVisitor3]

So you have to open a Kontrol plugin on each channel or can I create midi channel and assign it and the output in Kontrol?

[@dougiebhoy2399]

Can I use this in the maschine 2 software?

[@shreepadgandhi6739]

My goodness. You demonstrated so well. Just loved the way you did that effortlessly. Am thinking of buying M32 for the last 3-4 days. One of the main reasons is KOMPLETE KONTROL 14 SELECT is being offered free now with this keyboard. I always wanted to buy this KK14 SELECT. But not its a double bonanza on the offer now. The software is priced at 99.5 USD and this keyboard 139 USD. So you just pay 40 USD extra and get a MIDI keyboard that performs so well as seen in your above video. Would it integrate with Ableton Live 10 Intro, my Ableton license? I know the keyboard bundle offers Ableton Live Lite too. But many functions and sounds and patches which work in Live 10 Intro, are not supported in Live Lite. Many thanks in advance. Pune city, INDIA
