When you pair all of these features with the software bundle, and the fact that the M32 is USB bus-powered, you end up with a MIDI keyboard that’s perfect for first time MIDI keyboard buyers.

Small quality of life things like the preset knob, touch-sensitive controls, OLED screen, and dedicated scale and arp buttons make this MIDI keyboard feel extremely functional. Simply touching one of the eight knobs will display its name and value on the OLED screen in addition to the controls, the screen will also display the name of presets as you browse through them with the dedicated knob. Komplete Kontrol essentially provides you with all your Native Instruments sounds in one plugin, which is then directly controlled by the Kontrol M32 MIDI keyboard. The software that comes with this keyboard includes a copy of Ableton Live Lite, which is a decent DAW to start with, and a suite of Native Instruments products wrapped up in a package called Komplete Kontrol. Native Instruments has done something small yet essential, integrating all the controls on the M32 with their included software.

In contrast to using your computer’s keyboard as a MIDI note input device, or drawing MIDI notes into your DAW manually, the Komplete Kontrol M32 is a much more intuitive option.

These keys aren't weighted, so you probably won't be playing a Beethoven masterpiece on this keyboard, but that isn't exactly what this MIDI keyboard is intended for. There are 32 compact, synth-action style keys, which means they’re smaller than average-sized keys.
