Native Instruments M32 or A25 - Hidden Differences?

Greeeaaat! Thanks, Helped me decide wich I buy.

thx

I wish they made a 37 key version of both

Thank you good sir 👏 was recommended the A25 but will be choosing the M32 instead

🤙 I would like to replace my key step 37 with one of these probably thee 32, however, the Arturia strum mode has me stalling.

Get the S25

Great video! Thanks!

You helped me to make a decision on which keyboard should I get. Many thanks

I bought this year M32 because Kontrol Komplete Select is free .

thx!!

Good video - informative - well produced ------ I just purchased a M32 last week and I like it very much

I think the battle would be more M32 vs S25 MK1. (when u have no problem to buy 2nd hand. as with the S25 you get same size, also less keys BUT you get the lightguide + the displays!

M32 it sits right below my maschine+ needed something compact to fit on my computer desk. When I need to play a chord progression within maschine studio the keyboard is right there within reach! I know this is late lol but thought I’d comment

The M32 or FLkeys Mini for a beginnner using FL Keys ?

Parfait merci beaucoup 😊

Thx for this video.....but I've a question: I've heard the 8 controller just work with kontakt vst not with other plugins until you press shift/midi. Is that true and how this effects the workflow? Answer would be great, Cheers from Hamburg

damn you knew the pitch was the button had a different pitch due to the body size of each instrument lol...very clever

can i access all the Maschine software features on the A25? especially the Locks mode?

Thanks! Great video! Clear and precise. All my questions are answered. That's gonna be the M32 for my needs.

Hi. Thanks so much for this tutorial. NI has not really shed light on the matter. Have thought about whether I should exchange my M32 because of the small buttons. But it is so easy to play that the advantages clearly outweigh.

What about semi weight keys and oled screen in a25?

First you play remain me one of early song of Uriah Heep

Добрый день, а не подскажете ? Если я беру бу клавиатуру m32, с «отвязаной» лицензией , можно ли будет пользоваться софтом на другом компьютере ?
Сейчас в Komplete Start пометка Not Trasferable

bought A25 and feel regrete , a49 or a61 would be best choice rather than a25 (keys and knobs all are good but takes lot of space and this one is not portable type big to carry)

Great comparison!

Super helpful! Thanks a lot!

All clear! Thank you!

Very good job with pertinent information

If u r still unable to decide what to buy.....trust me and get M32..into ur arsenal..

Great video! Helped me decide. I like that little M32 for travel and on the go.

You sound a bit like Hans.

Good info, thanks.

I bought the A25 for the juicy pitch/mod wheels, but DEAR LORD the design is a ridiculous waste of space. Anyway, not like i didn't know that going into it. It truly is unreasonably large. Even if you kept the same keybed, there is no need for so much wasted space on the rest of the thing. The buttons are stupidly clunky. Way too much pressing needed to activate a button and the stupid clicking makes it feel like a child's toy. I bought it to be able to easily browse the native instruments library but the software is also badly designed. You end up with this miniscule list to scroll (presets) whilst all the rest of the UI space is wasted. You cannot change what is shown in preferences and you cannot resize the window to see more presets. When switching between instruments and presets, the navigation is aweful with not visual feedback of what level you're drilled into. I often think im down in the presets, so i start scrolling with the jog wheel only to find it scrolls through the top level instrument. It's just dumb. They could at least fix this. We had to wait a decade for them to give us vst3. Probably need to wait another decade to get a decent UI. Anyway, they are better at sound libraries than they are at UX design. It took me ages to work out how to use the rotors with other plugins. It's rediculously hard in Ableton. You have to go through many hoops in studio one. You have to hold shift and click the plugin mode button to enter midi mode, then you are part way there depemding on the daw.

The keyboards themselves are well constructed and feel like excellent value for the price. Just that the design is silly.

You made an excellent video. Too right about the knobs being too close together. Also i thought the touch strips would be useless. Turns out I was wrong. I should have got the smaller one although i prefer the keybed of the A25.

Thanks Tom!

My A25 sits lonely by itself. Got frustrated with the NI software. Bought a Novation Mini Launchkey MIII instead, waiting for it to arrive, I think it'll be better. I have the Circuit Tracks which just floored me, so I'm hoping the Launchkey is the same way.

Thanks a lot Tom, that was helpful!!

The A series is superior. The M32 is so light that using the bottoms the unit moves as it to light to stay put.

Are they coming with same softwares?

Hey bro I have a question, both have the same gifts 🎁🤔 (komplete and the vst's?)

My only complaint with the M32 is the touch strips really need a raised marker to indicate point zero. This would help by feeling where the strip's position is. So many times I've used the pitch and always raise it before lowering it, also the mod wheel sometimes is in the up position without my knowledge.

The A25 definitely sounds more tactile. Thanks!

Do both keyboards function okay at the same time together with the same instance of KK??

Thank you for Knobs.

thanks.

HI:)...
Can you play articulations like on Picked guitar or sessions horns from native instruments with the M32?

Thanks, just ordered the M32 for Xmas! You really helped me decide.

Hidden Differences?? Why is hidden? you must be blind, to say that man...

Which one is newer?

I will go for the M32!
