I've just upgraded to a brand new Mac Pro from my very ancient one and decided to re-install my entire system from scratch to avoid importing errors from previous computers / systems. Hopefully I've put it in the right place.

Compatibility: OSX 10.This is my first post here.

Controls: Pitch Bend Wheel, Mod Wheel, 8 Touch-Sensitive knobs, 4-Directional Push Encoder, Touch Strip.

If you're using Native Instruments software, or if you're looking for a more streamlined 61-Key MIDI keyboard controller then check this out. It doesn't have much else in terms of design features, but the keys themselves are more then enough to make it a viable top rated instrument. To achieve its success, NI equipped this controller with a semi-weighted Fatar keybed, and paired it with essential controls that include pitch bend and mod wheels, 8 touch-sensitive knobs, a touch strip and a 4-directional push encoder. While it does not have many DJ friendly functions, it does retain the company's standard for quality, as evidenced by its many good ratings. Native Instruments is well known in DJ circles because for the quality of their Traktor software, they also expanded into music hardware which includes the Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2, a 61-key MIDI keyboard controller. It was also featured on our Best MIDI Keyboard Controllers when we published the first edition in May 2018 until June 2021 when it was out-ranked by the Arturia KeyLab 88 MKII and Yamaha MX61 V2. The Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 earned a place on our recommended list for 61 Key MIDI Controller Keyboards in May 2018 where it remained until August 2022 when it was out-ranked by other controllers.

2020.05: Highest Rated MIDI Keyboard Controller from $500 to $1000.
