Short Version: If you are looking to buy a bass deck, and you live in a lot of the Native Insturments’ world of virtual synths, this is a no brainer and dare I say, better than the M32 Long Version: I bought the “Analog Dreams” synth pack from Native Instruments at the start of Quarantine, and was VERY impressed with the sounds and overall 80’s vibe. VERY impressed. But, my main controller is an Arturia. Nothing against them, but the mapping always had to be done manually, and using the stand alone control software for live playing just didn’t work. Since I was mainly looking for a bass deck, I did my research and it was down to the A25 or M32. Everyone raved about the M32, but I didn’t hear much about the A25. So, after some deliberation, I bought one. First impression- This is not a small controller when it comes to 3-octave decks. The matte plastic finish and full sized keyboard were flat out impressive feeling. The discrete label controls also made it look VERY German, and very cool. The keys are a full size “Semi Synth Weighted” affair, and feel fantastic! I have fat stubby hands and I am no concert pianist, so the large layout felt natural. It is also quite a bit taller than your average 25 key deck, but since I don’t intend to try to write anything on a plane, I didn’t care about how portable it was. In fact, the large footprint is a plus as it fit well into a spare mixer stand I had. DAW and plugin integration- While this is a very smooth controller to play, it really is best when paired with Native Instruments software and plugins. The controls are mapped out simply and well, and when running the Kontrol environment app, there is ZERO issue! Although, I found out when installing this on a Mac, make sure you disable all other MIDI devices first. I had my Arturia Keylab 49 and my mixer’s DAW controls active, and the controller wasn’t able to be read properly. So, I had to uninstall and reinstall the Kontrol app and then things worked fine. Once you do that, it works like a charm. Jumps right into ProTools and Ableton without fuss. Even tried it in Reaper (My preferred editing DAW), which is famous for working with ANYTHING, but usually you have to do some routing and mapping no matter what. All I had to do was to decide which MIDI channels to use for the I/O in Reaper, and once again, it worked like a treat! Performance- The semi weighted keys are placed naturally for any piano player, and nothing on the keyboard feels cramped. This controller also rocks the pitch and mod wheels to the left that are a decent size and don’t feel overtly plastic. All together, this just *feels* premium. It really shines as a bass synth, with everything within reach of a single left hand. The only issue is that the LED display is quite tiny, and you find yourself squinting to see what info is on it. But, given. How it performs and at the price, I can overlook that as my attention should be on the laptop if I am tweaking the settings. Speaking of price, it is more expensive than other 25-key controllers, but you are really getting your money’s worth. This is especially true with the free software that comes with it. I have paid for plugins and synths that sounded and performed worse. If you have a home studio that doesn’t need moved around constantly, this is a VERY wise companion to you main controller. As an audio engineer and a musician, I am of the mind you really only need 3 main MIDI components: A large format keyboard, a small format keyboard and a drum pad/sequencer. This is exactly the kind of 25 key that you need for that kind of setup, and would be almost perfect with their Machine pad controller for producers who are looking for a clean, integrated beat production setup. For a keyboardist like myself, this sits above my Arturia and is the best bass key controller so I can double up on multiple tracks.

Review for Komplete Kontrol A25 midi keyboard. I don't get to play as much as I would like. So it's a real inconvenience to have to dick with midi mappings in Ableton when all I want to do is create. I just want to touch my midi keyboard not my computer keyboard and mouse. This keyboard has went a long ways towards that goal. I had bought another midi controller, an 1mp@ct LX25, which totally frustrated me because they purposely don't support Ableton (this was my fault. I was in a hurry and just read through the reviews instead of reading up on the company. Apparently it's great if you don't use Ableton). Using this with Komplete Kontrol works great. Honestly, I didn't have to really setup anything. It just worked in Komplete Kontrol either with the standalone app or launched within Ableton 10. I've tried it out with non-native NI apps and it still seems to work pretty good. Although you still have to deal with midi mappings. Maybe, I'm a NOOB. However the previous keyboard I mentioned had the REC, PLAY, and STOP. For the longest time I couldn't get these to work until I found a script. Not this keyboard. That stuff all worked right away even without launching a NI plugin. The knobs are touch sensitive. If you just touch them the OLED display which parameter your editing. They also feel nice and sturdy. It's very minimalist looking. Usually I'm the kind of dude that likes a lot of knobs and buttons. However, I have found that my workflow if a little better because of the minimalism. The keys are synth action, they feel pretty good. The bend and modulation wheel are the best I've played on a keyboard of this price. The knobs are smooth as butter, and quiet. Cons Clicky It's kind of weird, the buttons are plastic and when pushed make an exaggerated clicking sound. Not a deal breaker for me, but if you where trying to record in a live intimate setting and find you need to push one of those buttons. Someone is going to be annoyed with you. Price This isn't Native Instruments fault. However, when I first put this on my wish list it was $139. I ended up buying the other day because a Youtube reviewer tipped me off that because of the trade war with China the price had went up. When I checked it had went up $20. So I bought it right away. Size matters. I really love this keyboard. However, I'm now wishing I could have held out for the 49 key (that one would need to be semi-weighted. I'm not sure if the A49 key comes in semi-weighted keys). This trade war isn't going to end anytime soon. I'm afraid by September A49 will be $300 instead of $220.

I'm still figuring out how all the features work on this, but the out-of-the box experience is pretty good. I was looking for a small keyboard to go in front of my computer so I don't have to move back and forth between the full-size keyboard and my DAW. The keyboard has two modes, "MIDI mode" and "Instance mode". In MIDI mode, it just sends MIDI. In Instance mode, (or maybe Track instance mode?) it becomes a little bit more standalone. You can change presets and such using only the device, and the changes will apply to the currently selected track in your DAW. This isn't super intuitive, but it's kinda cool to be able to switch between presets on a track. The keys feel good, and the velocity-sensitivity has a nice response. The knobs at the top of the controller are bound to macros when you are running in track instance mode, and to the track faders when you're in MIDI mode. I haven't tried to rebind them to other functions. One feature I'm not totally sold on is that when you touch one of the knobs, the device announces what it is bound to. This is kinda cool, but I haven't figured out how to disable it, and I keep bumping the knobs when I reach over the keyboard, which announces "Frequency!" or "Resonance!". I'd like to be able to A) turn that off, and B) set it to go to my audio interface rather than my speakers. There are probably ways to do these things, but I haven't figured them out yet. The other thing that bothers me is the big knob at the top right. I've only used it in "browse" mode to change presets, but I keep thinking it's a volume control and trying to change the volume while I'm playing. Since the bindings to the track faders change when you are using it in track instance mode, I haven't been able to find a way to change volume in instance mode. You *could* bind the mod wheel to track volume if you weren't using it for something else. It's strange that Thickness is a dimension this produce asks to be rated on. It is rather thick. If you're looking for a slimmer MIDI controller, the Arturia Keystep 37 looks quite a bit thinner, and was one of the other controllers I was considering.

The Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A25 is a fabulous addition for my studio. This keyboard is special because it integrates so well with the Native Instruments Komplete 13 set of plugins and allows you to control them better than any other midi controller keyboard. Its also a great value considering build quality and the feel of the keyboard. One of the most important points for me in considering the purchase of this keyboard was the actual size of the keys. So you won't have issues transitioning if you are a keyboard player since they are standard size keys, and you also won't have issues if you have big fingers since they're not mini keys. And the best part are the features. Features • 25-key semi-weighted custom Native Instruments keybed • OLED display for at-a-glance navigation • Eight touch-sensitive control knobs and 4-directional push encoder • Ergonomic pitch and mod wheels • Find sounds quickly with tag-based browsing • Stay in key with over 100 scales and modes in Smart Play • Pre-mapped control of KOMPLETE Instruments and Effects • Includes a collection of KOMPLETE instruments and effects

A25 Review and Test ... This test is approximate not scientific but should give you some idea of the overall tension on the keys themselves thus showing you what to expect when pressing the keys on this keyboard. I did not see any real info on this and thought it could be of some use. So if your expecting a soft feel close to what other keyboards in this test have this one is dif. Unfortunately this keyboards spring tension may be a bit too high to feel just right. Hey If your used to playing on keys with a lot of tension and weight then this may be what you seek. For me its taking some getting used to as all the other keyboards and controllers I own have far less tension, the Ensoniq being my fave for feel and wight as those keys feel almost like there is a hammer even though its just a semi weighted keyboard its well engineered and feels quite good. Comparison Examples ... 13 US Nickels are 65g Komplete Kontrol A25 66g Pressure to depress key M-Audio Orig Axiom 25 50g Pressure to depress key Roland Juno 2 (Matsu) 46g Pressure to depress key Ensoniq VFX (Fatar) 40g Pressure to depress key While the A25 is indeed a semi weighted design it just feels like if there was less tension it would feel just so much better, why they decided on a higher tension spring I am not sure but might be something to think about when searching for that next keyboard or controller. The keys them selves feel solid although not perfect some of the keys on my copy are a little off by this I mean there is some inconsistency in the key-bed itself so some keys are not perfectly level with other keys (SEE PIC) its very slight but is noticeable. As many have said the keyboard build is nice otherwise and it does feel quite solid in its feel and overall build, way more so then my M-Audio Axiom 25 those keys tend to bottom out a bit on the metal base-plate when pressed harder while the A25 does not and is nicely damped at full travel as with my older much more expensive synth keyboards. So in my opin with the next gen I think NI should bring the tension down to around between 45g - 50g max which I think would be a happy medium for most as some have also mentioned there is a fair bit of key travel which I don't normally dislike as my Ensoniq is similar in this respect but coupled with the apox 66 grams of pressure it takes to press each key this may prevent some from loving this design choice made by NI. O one last thing I know some mentioned so I will touch on as well all the other buttons are ultra clicky why no idea they should really have used soft touch the virtually click-less type that just press in similar to whats found on my M-Audio controllers, those buttons feel good you know that you pressed record for example but without a loud click, really not needed other then that, some will like its mostly solid build and tight integration with other NI products def check out the keyboard if your looking for a new one ... this is replacing my very old now hap hazard M-Audio 25 and I think I will keep it, but I think it does take some getting used to the higher tension on the keys though other then that and the very clicky buttons it is quite nice. I hope my slightly dif review is helpful to most who are looking into the A25 and wondering what the keys may feel like in comparison to some classics they may have used ...

The internal debate is the A Series versus that S Series. This is the A series that requires to use Kontact Komplete plug-in. Instead of being able The keys are amazing, the weight is awesome. The build quality is awesome. At first, I don’t know if I bought the right one now I know I did. The s series is great too but you don’t have to spend a rack to get that quality and get the grooves out you need. You don’t need a screen you’re gonna look at your computer anyway. Buy this one before the price goes up. And the price will be going up very fast very soon. Everything on Amazon is going up. Everything is going up. Stock up now while you can.

I've looked a lot online for reviews about the Komplete A25, and because it's an entry/mobile level for NI keyboards many reviewers were talking about the basic stuff like the click sound of its buttons and the build quality. What really surprised me is how integrated this midi keyboard is with Maschine MK3 and Maschine software. I expected and seen a lot of reviews about the SW compatibility, but owning this device with the MK3 is a totally different level of integration! I'm able to control the MK3 screens for browsing, plugin selection, and manipulating sounds all from the keyboard. Clicking record or play on one will light the same feature on the other and so on. So, in short, if you have a Maschine MK3 or similar, buying Native Instruments keyboard will make all the difference in terms of compatibility and ability to control multi-devices from any hardware. Very glad I bought this one!
