[KOMPLETE LE] It would seem these controllers are significantly better than the products I remember from years past. The jog wheels behave like the CDJs I used to fawn over, everything is cleanly laid out and illuminated, and all the knobs feel sturdy. It has some solid heft to it and feels like an investment rather than a toy. Very happy with it.

[KOMPLETE LE] Been looking for the perfect dust cover for my DJ Controller and this met all of my expectations. The smoke-colored cover also accents my setup when not in use.

[39.56 lb] This is a great companion to my small musical work flow which includes the Maschine Mikro MK3! The knobs allow for seemless control of parameters and the chords mode which I need because I can't play that well. Having the transport controls, quantizing, and other features help me focus on creating rather retrying to hack a midi device to do what I want. The keys also feel really good! I previously purchased the Akai LPK 25, and did not like it at all. For the price this is a good deal!

[USB Cable] I found the MK2 pre own and I purchased it. The first it worked like a dream. The next week, it started acting up and I purchased the MK3. At first I had an issue updating the firmware and I had to connect a power cable. Once I got it running, I spent a few hours checking out the features and I’m blown away. It works with the C-Type and the adapter.

[Color LCD] This keyboard is perfect for my needs. It's portable, stores nicely on the keyboard drawer in my desk, works great with my GarageBand software on the Mac, and the keys are a very useable size. Overall very comfortable to use. 

Not all of the keyboard's features appear to be enabled in GarageBand (such as the keyboard's play/record/stop buttons). Still need to try it out with the Native Instruments software.

[KOMPLETE LE] I had to options; Traktor S4 or DDJ-1000. I don't regret buying this DJ Controller. It has all I need and more. It feels well built, and I have all the necessary tools. It is very compact compared to the DDJ-1000. If you choose this board, you won't regret it.

[KOMPLETE LE] This keyboard is exactly what I expected (in a good way). Basically it is exactly like what it says in the description. The software is a little confusing to set up. Go to this link to start getting set up with the software: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/native-access/

[39.56 lb] I have been a big fan of the native instruments keyboard since they came out, and this one is no exception. It is very simple to use, but the way that the new screen is displayed and the sound or organized and not only being able to mod the parameter so easily is a big plus. the screen is beautiful. The key bed is nice. I wish I could’ve got an upgrade from my MK two but beggars can’t be choosers. I would purchase again of put in the same situation.
