## Questions & Answers

**Q: I tried this in a guitar center. the interface felt super slow and unresponsive. is this a problem with the kontrol or is it the computer?**
A: The response is snappy, I would imagine it was the computer. I use mine with a Mac and Pc and it works well. It can take a second or two to initialize some sounds of you ha e the preview enabled, but it’s likely that the machine you saw was just not configured right.

**Q: how would you connect this to an AMP?**
A: This is a keyboard "controller". It does not produce any sounds without external modules.
In other words, you need to connect this device, via MIDI, to a device that produces sound, which would then be connected to an amplifier.

**Q: Does this work with FL studio?**
A: Yes, it'll work with FL Studio. It's a controller. Just enable it in your midi settings in FL and open up Kontakt (which is the Native Instruments GUI with all the Native Instrument sounds) inside of FL Studio and play.

**Q: Can this work as a basic midi keyboard paired with a maschine MK3?**
A: Yes. They work well together. I have both. One advantage to using this keyboard along with the MK3 is that, let's say you have a sound on one of the pads of MK3, regardless of the sound whether a snare or kick or key or bass, the moment you tap it on MK3 it appears across this keyboard as a playable sound from low to high.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect midi keyboard,

fast delivery, good packing, NI Has The best keys. trust me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read this before you buy! Software confusion clarified.
*by P***S on 1 July 2020*

I got the A49 controller. The packaging was okay. Slight dents on the box but product was good with no damage. And please note, it DOES NOT COME WITH KOMPLETE KONTROL SELECT. I wrote mail to seller - Musician Jack who reverted confirming that it comes with Komplete select software but later they told that it was confusion and I won’t get that software. So please beware as FAQs have many people saying that it comes along. Secondly, the included libraries are descent for you to start with but there are hardly any good orchestral sounds included. So those looking to use orchestral sounds like Strings, Flutes, Brass etc will have to get addon libraries. I use Logic Pro X and the controller ideally should work with it. Mine had some issues where the DAW controls Were not working and in over 15 days the Native Instruments team was still trying to figure out a solution. I got it working from an expert who charged separately from me. There’s hardly any support from seller for this. You have an option for replacement but I wanted to use it for a project so can’t return. Overall, the controller is really nice with following highlights: 1. The quality of the keys is really nice. Being a piano player, I didn’t like the soft plastic keys but these feel good and have nice velocity feedback. 2. The infinite rotation for 8 knobs is also a great feature to have, where you don’t need to set the knob to the control value first before using like in many other DAWs. Also when you touch a knob it shows the assigned function and it’s value on the baby LED. 3. The built quality is great. MOD & pitch wheel have adequate resistance to give precise control. 4. Integration with Komplete Kontrol Software is really flawless. Coming to some cons or improvements that should be made: 1. The buttons make a really loud sound when we press. So if you ever press it in between recording where you are also using a mic, it will definitely come in recording. 2. I am still unable to access the Sounds.com free library for some strange Error 403 message. NI team is still figuring out. If you are thinking that missing faders will be a problem, switching to Track mode enables you to control the volume from same knobs. So no issue there. Even you can control PAN with these. The only missing feature for some maybe Pads. But for me playing those with keys also work. As my primary importance was for velocity sensitivity of the keys. So I hope these points will help you decide well. I will be posting the video review of this on my channel soon. Will add the link for you all.
