The pack includes tools like TRK-01 Bass, Mikro Prism, Supercharger tube compressor and sampled sounds from electric pianos and drum machines. It’s a free collection that includes 15 instruments, two effects and a “best-of selection” featuring 1,500 loops and samples from NI’s Expansions sound packs. Komplete Start is clearly going to be NI’s gateway drug to the larger world of its software range, Komplete.

The Audio 1 meanwhile has a stereo RCA output for connecting to hi-fi speakers, while the Audio 2 has a stereo jack output, which is more suited to connecting studio monitors.īoth interfaces are available on March 19. Both are pitched at the budget end of the market with slight differences, mainly in terms of what inputs and outputs they have.īoth have two sets of inputs, though these differ: Audio 1 has one XLR mic in with 48v phantom power and a jack input, while the Audio 2 has two combined XLR jack inputs with 48v phantom power.

Komplete Audio 1 and 2 are NI’s first new audio interfaces since the Komplete 6 was launched in 2011. The M32 is also NI’s cheapest keyboard yet – it costs just $129/€119/£99 and arrives on March 6. The main difference is that the physical pitch and modulation wheels have been replaced with touch strips. There’s a tiny OLED screen for displaying parameters, eight knobs for tweaking them and a variety of transport controls. It’s more or less the same size as last year’s A25 keyboard, but by using mini keys, fits in an extra seven notes.Īpart from that detail, the M32 has largely the same features as the A Series. NI’s sample service,, is also getting deeper integration with the company’s Maschine and Komplete Kontrol apps.Īlthough NI recently launched a range of affordable MIDI controllers in the shape of last year’s A Series, the Komplete Kontrol M32 fills a slightly different gap. The portable Komplete Kontrol M32 and Komplete Audio 1 and 2 interfaces are joined on today’s slate of new products by Traktor DJ 2 and a free production suite, Komplete Start, made up of instruments, effects and sounds from the Komplete range. Native Instruments is continuing to focus on entry-level producers with its latest product launch, which includes a new affordable MIDI keyboard and budget audio interfaces. Komplete Kontrol M32 and two new Komplete Audio units arrive in March.
