Main 8 controller knobs seem more consistently made, same amount of resistance in each, nice touch sensitivity on the caps. When browsing you ONLY see the browsing GUI on the little MK2 screens, it doesnt show up on the main DAW screen any more (might be a way to bring it back? or have both)ġ0. All MIDI Hardware/Controller editing is now done inside the Komplete Kontrol application.ĩ. The Controller Editor is dead, no longer works with the Mk2. The entire Perform panel for adjusting curves, wheels, touchstrip is not implemented yet, again there is no way to do it until they release an update (BAD NI!)Ĩ. Same goes for editing the color of the light guide.ħ. The touchstrip control doesnt work yet, just outputs MIDICC 11 until an update is released. MK2 Bonus Points: you can view/filter by favorites with the touch of a button including previews. The Previews worked fine in My Mk1 Browser, seems equally fine in the Mk2 browser. There is a distinct lack of documentation apart from a link to download the manual, it would have been nice to have a 'getting started' or something as there are several unlabeled new buttons and the overall layout has changed a lot.ĥ. I assume that apart from the main DAWs mentioned with the MK2 release, other DAWs no longer have any KK compatibilityĤ. There is no longer a 'Komplete Kontrol - DAW' MIDI object showing up in Reapers MIDI prefs or surface/OSC prefs.

The transport controls no longer work in Reaper, due to the new API for communicating with DAWS mixers, etc. The Mk2 can run off USB power solely, but for hardware MIDI to work (and for the Mk2 screens/lights to be 10-15% brighter) an AC adapter must be used ($25 at NI site, $7-10 on Amazon)ģ. Good and bad, easier to move but feels flimsier than MKI.Ģ.

The Mk2 is much lighter than the Mk1, no metal in the upper case anymore, no rubber endcaps, everything is lightweight plastic.
