I have to give an honourable mention to the fact that you can start, stop and quantise your Ableton recordings remotely, which is very cool. Additionally, you just have to love the new colour screen which shows you which vst you are working with, and, more importantly, the NI sound audition system that, again, quickly becomes indispensable. More importantly, at least as far as i'm concerned, the '49 loves Ableton Live (10) and you can switch between the tracks just by pushing the white buttons and adjust their volume by turning each knob underneath. You get a wide range of software (sounds and effects) bundled with the '49, and some of them are top notch, notably 'Massive,' which is one of best virtual synths available and 'The Genteman' piano: a very useable and authentic sounding workhorse. Are you not quite sure which notes are matched to a certain preset or sample bank? Well, it's all there right in front of you in pretty colours. and switch off the ones that you don't need. If you don't know how to play in g minor - don't panic - the '49 will highlite the correct keys for you. A second, major, asset is the key light system that shows song keys and sample mapping.
I've, literally, never felt so impressd with a controller of any kind.
It also works very well as a stand alone system, with the NI Komplete Kontrol software running on windows 10 desktop.Īs you will probably know, many controllers end up feeling a bit 'spongy' because of hardware delay or weak software that doesn't quite mesh, but this little baby is absolutely spot on. Ableton Live - this makes it indispensable. The best feature is that the S49 has almost zero latency when using it with a DAW, e.g. It has perfectly balanced keys, plus two well sprung pitch wheels and a control strip to boot. Firstly, the keyboard is excellent to play. The S49 MK2 is a very well constructed Native Instruments keyboard controller, with a few stunning features that really make it really stand out. Overall the S49 MK2 comes highly recommended.
