I feel the NI could more instantly rewarding short term (with NI plugins/NKS), but more frustrating long term (more limited with non-NI stuff and hardware).Īlso, don't sleep on the Novation sequencer, because it is not only notes, it is similar to Circuit, it can sequence parameters and MIDI CC (and hence macros), recording realtime or "parameter-lock" style. Achieve dynamic expression control via ergonomic pitch and modulation wheels, as well as a highly flexible touch strip. A pair of high-resolution full-color displays allows for precision browsing, tweaking, mixing, and more. Seems to me the Novation one can be the main controller of a whole studio (software and hardware), while NI's feels like it is mostly for NI software (which is not really that bad, since there is a LOT of cool NI and NKS stuff). Komplete Kontrol S49 MK2 is loaded with powerful features. The Novation one has better Live integration, and also with other MIDI hardware (it has MIDI mappings you can change realtime so MIDI CC fits the mapping of other hardware, and also CV out). The NI one seems great with NI's own stuff and NKS stuff, but average with the rest. With my own money I would get the Novation one, but gotta say, it is really close.įor pure Live integration it is definitely better, it's got sliders for 8 tracks with on/off and Arm buttons, with color LEDs helping show which track is being controlled.
