So for example if I have the knobs of the M32 mapped to an instrument in Komplete Kontrol I can tweak away while still playing the full size keyboard, which I don't have any mapping controls on, so it's basically like just extending my existing keyboard. The great thing about this setup is that you can use Komplete Kontrol functions of the M32 keyboard while playing the same instrument on the bigger keyboard, on the same midi channel. I was thinking that it would be good to have for mobile use, but I actually keep it right about my mac keyboard now, with my main 88 keyboard under the desk. Not fussed about faders and buttons etc, though a Mod wheel is always handy, and is the reason I am not really considering the StudioLogic boards.Not sure if you'll find this helpful, but I picked up an M32 when it was on sale (on Amazon, which I haven't seen since) to test out Komplete Kontrol, without having to go for a new keyboard. So two questions - Is the Komplete Kontrol S88 really worth nearly 3 times the price of the MAudio Hammer 88 (The lights and Komplete Kontrol would be nice, but not essential) and secondly, are their any 88 Key midi keyboards that have more control than just the usual 5-7 velocity curves ? It would be great if you could really program it down to the level you can on something like PianoTeq 7. One thing I wish ALL midi keyboards had is a really in depth tool to shape the velocity response, as most are either too soft or too heavy, especially playing soft velocities consistent can be difficult on most Midi Keyboards. I am tempted by the Komplete Kontrol S88 as I use a lot of native instrument software, however, it is still a lot of money when you can get the M-AUDIO Hammer 88 (NON Pro) for 1/3 of the price roughly. Therefore, It is probably a good time to final invest again in a weighted Midi Keyboard - As you will know, just about all options out there have their issues or quirks.

However, I have had a semi weighted Nektar GXP-88 for a couple of years, and although it has served me well, it seems the sensors on some keys are becoming dodgy. I know there are tons of threads talking about the perfect Midi keyboard controller (I also now know there is no such thing as the perfect Midi Keyboard controller!).
