Great controller for your software based rig.
Sound
It doesn't make sound itself, unless you bang spoons on the case.
Features
Wonderful integration of all my VST/AU that are NKI certified. The Komplete Kontrol software makes it very easy to search for, and edit sounds. Much better than having to use the mouse or trackpad on my MacBook Pro.My workflow setting up gigs is vastly improved.I really like having the user assignable names for all the knobs and buttons while in MIDI mode. A great feature when performing
Ease of Use
As with any new controller and software, there is a small learning curve. If you are already versed in your DAW or Host (Logic, Mainstage, Gig Performer) it doesn't take much time to understand the work flow.
Quality
Seems to be solid. The knobs and buttons are firm.
Value
Yes
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to.
The Wow Factor
Makes using Mainstage and GigPerformer a great experience on stage.
