The Audio 1 features 2 different individual inputs including 1 XLR and 1×1/4 inch jack for a guitar or line instrument which would be ideal for solo musicians, vloggers and podcasters and the Audio 2 has 2 XLR/Combo jacks for musicians wanting to record stereo instruments like a synth. The 2 new Audio interfaces – The Komplete Audio 1 and the Audio 2 – have also been designed with limited space in-mind and clearly directed to the musicians, beat makers, or performers who want to capture ideas quickly and don’t require lots of I/O. The keyboard is pre-mapped to integrate fully with all major DAW’s via the 8-touch sensitive controls plus features deep integration with Maschine and Komplete software instruments creating a powerful environment for desktop music production. As the trend for small studio equipments looks set to continue, NI have jumped on board with the newKomplete Kontrol M32 keyboard (M clearly standing for “micro”) and includes the same intuitive NKS and “Smart-Play” functions that made the Komplete Kontrol S and A series so popular.

It was only August last year that Native Instruments made their “ biggest announcement ever” of products across their product lines of Komplete, Maschine and Traktor, however, it seems they’ve still got more in the tank. Native Instruments probably weren’t expected to have announcements for us at this year’s NAMM, but have surprised us all with a new 32 mini-key addition to their popular Komplete Kontrol keyboard range, plus 2 new audio interfaces The Komplete Audio 1 and Audio 2.
