Have you had any problems with these?
Got any prefs?
I use Studio One and need a new, bigger keyboard, without going as far as a NI S61 or an Arturia Keystep 61.
Currently using an NI S25 MK1.
Which is best? An NI Komplete Kontrol A61 or an Arturia KeyLab Essential 61 keyboard controller

Hi Digivolt
Nektar T6 is £300.
It has nice features.
Have you made many maps for your plugs?
Was it easy? And effective? Is it easy to load the maps, or do they autoload, ie, recognise the plug and auto do the right thing?

sorry, one more question
Does Nektarine have a 4k hi res monitor gui?
Or is it more like Ni Komplete Kontrol where the plugin host is tiny on a 4k monitor?

Not sure if I can answer your extra questions, but I wanted to comment on the keyboards you suggested. The kontrol A series have good action that is semi-weighted while the arturia essential series has light synth action. It's very light. Kontrol works well with NI software, but arturia works well with their software. Both can be used as midi controllers. Arturia has faders and 8 pads, while kontrol doesn't. But kontrol has better keys.
You might be able to map better with the arturia because it has pads and faders, but I'm not sure how good their midi mapping is. I used to own a keylab 61 mk2 and I had difficulty assigning patch changes to the pads and buttons. Though I had some slight success, it wasn't what I wanted. You might have better success than me. I Ended up getting a kontrol s61 mk2.

I have an open mind as there's so many new keyboards out now, and wondered if members experiences might help me.
I have S25 MK1 and got left in the lurch by NI over their Studio One incompatibility, which is now fixed.
Never cared for Kontrol interface either. Reminds me of music with a condom
Maybe, but it's pricey.I Ended up getting a kontrol s61 mk2
