Native Instruments Kontrol S61 MK3 UNBOXING, TEST, COMPARISON with Komplete Kontrol S49 MK1

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Watched the video, enjoyed it, but forgot to like it, so now I have. 🎹♥️

[@chimerastate]

Thanks a lot for supporting my channel.

I bought the s61 as well. I don’t think people realize the features that will be coming, or what this keyboard is capable of yet. I’m confident they will release an update the keyboard for use with Maschine. Personally I use the keys to make beats. Plus NKS 2, integration with other software is going to be huge in my opinion. I sold my keyboard of 15 years to trade in for this. I’m not disappointed in my decision. I love it! Just bought the Arturia V collection and Komplete Standard and maybe upgrade to collector’s edition later . Probably going to be getting some East West sounds as well. Plus the onboard computer makes a huge difference in speed between the computer and the controller. Thanks for the awesome video review!

[@chimerastate]

Thanks a lot. 🙏🏻

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

The v collection is very nice. Komplete collector’s edition is one of the best things I’ve bought for my studio. I know I’ll never use all of it, but it’s fun trying. I use something from it on every song. 🎹♥️

I have the S88 MK3 i am in love

[@karlsmith2451]

What about that wide computer screen you got ; what is it hooked up to?

[@chimerastate]

It’s hooked up to my windows desktop computer.

[@tri-unetrl3966]

So you can't use play assist with third-party plugins??? 🤷🏽

[@chimerastate]

If they support NKS then you can.

[@tri-unetrl3966]

@chimerastate We should be able to use play assist with every single vst in our DAW! 🤦🏽 Especially the scales!!

[@ernestm8884]

I'm doing just the opposite. I have the Maschine Mk 3 and a Komplete Kontrol S61 mk2 MIDI keyboard. i likje the Komplete Kontrol S49 for the desktop space savings but I also like the KeyLab Essential 49 mk3. For the cost of a Komplete Kontrol S49 I can get a KeyLab Essential 49 mk3 and a KeyLab Essential 61 mk3 and still have $300.00 USd left over.

[@jaeger809]

Does this keyboard work with k’ed kontakt? Please let me know.

[@chimerastate]

It works with Native Instruments Kontakt 7.

[@jaeger809]

@@chimerastate kraked kontakt?

[@avfuels]

I hate computer generated voices!

[@chimerastate]

Is that a compliment? 😂

[@pauldolman7487]

I hate them too but this video is not generated. I do see what you mean though.

[@rodneycosta]

none of my expressions pedals are working on my new MK3. I already contacted the support, but there has been no answer until now. It is a little frustrating since my pedals work with very basic midi devices and not with the "amazing" Kontrol Mk3. any help?

[@chimerastate]

@@rodneycosta I don't use any pedals, so unfortunately I can't help you with that issue, but I really hope that the support is able to help you asap.

[@CrusaderGeneral]

Unless its analogue, its computer generated. Only difference is a VA synth cones with a dedicated DACs that are typically not as high res or HQ as a some PC audio interfaces. That said, I prefer a dedicated synth over a VST, for its intrinsic value
