Key Size: Full-size, semi-weighted with aftertouch I’ll start this article by reviewing the best MIDI Keyboard at each price point, but if you want to learn more about them before reading reviews check out our MIDI Keyboard information guide at the bottom of the page here. However, in MIDI 2.0, velocity is 16 bit and it means 65,536 different possibilities! So, a more realistic and detailed performance will be possible.
In the current MIDI 1.0 protocol, if you press a key, the velocity value is sent with a sensitivity between 0 and 127, the reason for that is that each message consists of 7 bits. Today, we still use the same protocol on many keyboards and controllers, but with the newly introduced MIDI 2.0, higher-resolution data transfer will be possible in the future. These audio units trigger the sounds in their sound banks according to the MIDI messages coming from the keyboard.Īlthough it sounds futuristic, MIDI technology has been in our lives since 1983 and stayed almost the same until recently. Audio is produced by computers or hardware synths that are connected to the keyboard. This message is quite small in size and does not contain any audio information. In other words, a MIDI message basically includes information like which key you pressed, how long you pressed, and at what intensity you pressed. Otherwise I guess it will go the same way as the automap.MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the name of the protocol that instruments use to communicate with each other or with computers (we can now add iOS devices to the list). I hope that this get updated to modern DAW's environment and get into the VST. I kicked out the automap after quite short period. NKS is closed, but the VST is a open-source project even if Steinberg keeps the rights) Now they have build a new "standard" on a very old standard.
It would have been very much better if it had been apart of the DAW and the pluginstandard how it should work. I do really like the goal for this plugin. (It might intentional if you think it should be done form the controller) But it also does not resize and everything seems to be fixated. It's not obvious how to control it from the querty-keyboard. You also lose Quick Control, Ai-knob and sample accurate automation.Ībout the plugin it self. Current VST version is 3.6 and has added a lot of features that can not be used with Komplete Kontrol, and if you have a instrument that is VST3 only it can not be used.
Komplete Kontrol v2.2.0 is using the obsoleted VST2.4. However you also lose a few important things. It is amazing that it is not part of the plugin format and you need some extra stuff for that. You get a standard way for browsing out presets with sound. NI have taken it one step further than Novation and put more constraints to the plugin so it can know little bit more. You create a shell where you run the plugin and have control of it's input and output. The product idea is very similar to Novation Automap.
