I recently bought an M32 keyboard and the Maschine Mikro from Native Instruments, as I already owned Komplete 13 and the 14 upgrade. I bought them used to replace a 25 key controller in my mobile rig. but found these new devices very useful in the studio. It took a while to configure and learn to use these with Logic, as Komplete Kontrol and the Maschine 2 software can work together, but have some idiosyncrasies. Still, after much testing and playing around, I have them working together in Logic and I’m happy with the results. In this video, I’ll explain how they work together and the features of the M32 versus the Mikro that you need to understand if you use NI Komplete instruments or bundles in Logic.
There’s an abundance of M32 keyboards and Maschine Mikro’s on the used market, as these are the lowest cost entry points in the NI product lines. I found many sellers are either upgrading to larger keyboards, like the 49, or the full Maschine MK3. There’s also owners who bought these devices and just never learned how to use them, and rather than collect dusk, they sell them. Either way, you can get a deal and if you don’t have any Komplete instruments, they come with Komplete Select, and the seller can transfer the license to you.
