I'm happy so far, but I'm going to see if I use the extra features or not, because I would really prefer something smaller.Portable, compact, and ready to tap into a wide range of instruments and effects from NI and an ever-evolving list of NKS partners. This is also one difference between the L25 & the Mini the L25 has 4 custom modes for pots & 4 for pads, while the Mini has (iirc) just 1 for each. But creating custom mappings for the pots looks pretty easy, so I'll try that route before making racks with macros for everything. For that one, the macro knobs were mapped to the pots automagically (maybe that's what the pots do in device mode).
except for the one synth that I made a macro for to use with the M32. None of the knobs worked on any synth out of the box. It starts to make sense after some trial & error.Īs far as CC control of plugins, that will require a little work.
The big thing about the L25: it just works, and since it doesn't require special software for most of the functions, figuring out stuff by trying logical button presses yields fruit. Had to look up the Launchkey Mini (again, because I researched before buying this time) and it's tempting, but I really prefer the little LCD like the M32 has so I know what I'm editing. About the same width but deeper and at least double the height (so I can't slide it under my monitor stand like I could with the M32). Got the Launchkey 25 yesterday and my immediate thought was 'omfg it's huge'.
