KOMPLETE KONTROL M32 with Ableton Live | Setup & Workflow

The M32 is really good for the price

Hey bro , I have a problem , I don't have Komplete Kontrol M daw to select it

Im having the same issue, in Template 1 Midi mode. Windows 10. Everything is up to date. What files did you move and from where and to where?
Thank you.

Scale and Arp doesn't light up. I can't use the function. Any ideas?

I got my M32 last week...still struggling to have smooth experience. Hope this video helps me for that.
Pune, India

Were can i get that merch you got on at?

this was, like, super intriguing and super helpful

can i swich to the next 8 tracks to balance them when i am done with the first 8 track volumes in ableton with the arrow keys in track mode or DAW mode?
(i forgot the mode :D)

I always come back to Taetro tutorials!

So you don't think pad is not needed ? Like LaunchKey Mini Mk3 has. I'd like to buy m32 as it has more keys, better keys, better sensitivity and no end knobs. What do you say about pads? @taetro

I can't find "Komplete Kontrol DAW" on the MIDI Input. Please help.

The noise of the buttons turns me crazy :/

RAVE ON!!!

wait the NI website he linked to doesn't mention anything about copying/pasting files?
I managed to get it all working on ableton 10 on my old PC by editing a user remote scropt but it isn't working in ableton live 11?

In preferences, I chose komplete Kontrol A, like you said but on the out put, it gives me these options: komplete kontrol m32 midi, that’s it,

on the out put, it gives me the options of : microsoft gs wavetable synth, komplete kontrol m32 midi , the options you gave are not present, it works glitched and delayed. I am using ableton 11 with the M32 keyboard, I would appreciate your help!

Thank you for your great video.

Ordered one for myself

Hi Taetro, I'm having the issue where "Komplete Kontrol M DAW" does not show up in my Ableton Preferences. I followed your link and it does not mention the moving of the files. Can you point me to where I can find this information? I'm using Windows 10.

hey man you linked to the ableton preference screen that you actually showed in the video instead of the files movement sollution

I want to use komplete kontrol, the app that lets you browse with your midi controller by NI, I have a komplete m32 and komplete software, the 599 one, when I open ableton and select my midi controller, I only get the "komplete kontrol m32 midi", not the "daw" thingy, also once I check that in ableton's midi section I run into the problem that keeps me from hearing anything: when I open the komplete kontrol app, komplete kontrol M32 apears in the midi section, but I cannot check it as midi input, I can only check my usb audio interface. When I quit Ableton, I can check it. it's weird and no documentation on native instruments website helps with this

Hey, I just need some advice, because I'm planning to get my first midi keyboard and have this in my mind. The only ONE thing, that one little thing, that's bugging me, is that it doesn't have drum pads; everything else is perfect, just that one thing.
I just wanted to ask whether I really need drum pads, or can i just use the keys as drums, because you make it look so easy, but I don't know as a beginner, I need drum pads or not. Especially because I'm concerned about things like key travel, and actually how responsive the keys are with drum tracks, relative to drum pads.

Works!! Suscribed!

In my Ableton m32 in midi input and outout KOMPLETE KONTROL A DAW" is not showing what should I do pls let me know

Komplete Kontrol is great, unfortunately this DAW template does not directly allow the Macro Controls of live on the M32 knobs.

I don't have a Komplete Kontrol A Control Surface in Live 10

The m32 works with serum sylenth1 and other plugins? Or just with komplete and kontakt? ✌️🙂

plug in mode doesnt do anything on my m32 for controling plugins. the knobs only control the volume

KOMPLETE KONTROL software is absolute garbage !
I am stuck for about a week not able to use the software at all (as I have endless problems either with plugins or content libraries).
Every time I open Native Access it goes out of the screen. Many interfaces opened in Kontakt on my 4K screen are completely unreadable (to small to blurry). Support ticket wizard is the worst thing I have seen in my entire life. No way to track tickets directly through the site. Now way to register/unregister single products from KOMPLETE and Native Access interface (which BTW endlessly keeps asking for an update). Major features which users ask for years are not added. Upgrade policy sucks - meaning - if you purchased a single product from NI and not it is part of the KOMPLETE suite they want you to pay for it twice and you end up with 2 licenses and SN). You will not get a refund or discount.
NI support replies about every 3rd day so after a week they asked few dozens of questions and no help, no resolution, no nothing. I paid in last 5 years $5k+ for their hardware and software and it was the worst musical decision of my life. While the 3rd party libraries and sounds are mostly OK or even excellent, everything else about this company simply sucks. I would never buy any NI products again nor recommend it to a friend. I really wish that one day Kontakt is replaced with some "real software" by some other competitive company. Perhaps the reason that this company is so bad is that they have grown so big and they believe there is no competition for NKS and alike.
The bottom line is: when it works it is OK (jut ok but not god) but when even small problems arise you are on your own and you waste tons of time and energy. Not worth the price.

I've been re-mastering some song in Ableton Live that used some Komplete Kontrol instruments for various tracks. I was surprised to see that Ableton doesn't save the specific patch of an instrument from one edit session to the next. For example, If I first selected the "2am" patch from Massive for a song, then I close Ableton Live and reopen the project that used that patch, it only knows that I used Massive for that track, but not the specific "2am" patch. Is there something that I'm not saving when I close a project? If this is the way it normally works, then I guess a workaround is for me to name the track with the instrument AND THE PATCH NAME.

Thanks for this video, I manged to setup my M32 so all the buttons work with Ableton .But thanks for showing how to use the software that really helps me has a beginner.

I'm really skeptical about the velocity curve of the keybed. Is it responsive to keypress???

mine does not have the Komplete kontrol M DAW. how's that possible? I'm a newbie in music production, btw

What is the keyboard on that makes it so unstable? Jesus, it's maddening to watch it wobble and move like that

It now COMES WITH Abelton Live now

How do I use the knobs to control macro controls on custom fx racks?

Very insightful video, thank you!

Does the record button work with arrangement view or does it turn on record only for sesssion view? Can you choose and arm tracks with the joystick?

Very helpful and wel explained

Is there a way to Transpose the keys in Semitones from the keyboard itself without having to go in the daw/editor?

I have a komplete kontrol m32 but in Preferences link MIDI don't appear the option komplete kontrol m daw. Someone knows why? I read other persons with the same questions in the web, but not the solution. Help.

Thanks for the video, but I really can't get how you managed it to work properly. As I launch Ableton "Plug-In" and "Browse" button stay darkened, so it's no way to change it. The second thing is that the sound from Komplete app wouldn't record in Ableton whatever input/output settings I choose (it identifies the keys I'm pressing, but in effect nothing really recording)

downloaded and installed Komlete Kontrol interface, but failed to use it on Ableton! how can i find the plugin on abelton?

liked, subscribed...thx man, your content is exactly what I'm looking for.

Hey nice video and review!!! Just wanna know do Arp and scale functionalities work for native Live instruments and devices as well? I have been thinking about buying this fantastic keyboard but want to make sure of everything before the purchase. Any comment would be super helpful, thanks a lot! :)
