Worth getting Komplete Kontrol S49 MK2 now?

Faris D

Hi everyone,

I am in a bit of a confused state :D. I wanted to buy the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S49 MK2 because I had an older model but on the website it doesn't show and many vendors are out of stock. I am thinking shall I go ahead and find it and buy it, or am I under the impression that a new hardware will come out?

We know that KK MK2 came out in 2017 so do you think NI will release a new hardware and I should wait?

Conflicted and I want to hear from you.

Thank you

Lots of signs out there that something is happening soon.

If you can wait, that's what I would do.

If you can't wait for some reason, there are likely good deals on used S49 Mk2 to carry you over for awhile.

Speculation is rife: https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/12468/komplete-kontrol-s-series-sales

So maybe, just maybe, wait a little bit? 😬

Well, as real as a random image on the internet that is unconfirmed could ever be, but who ever said not to trust strangers on the internet.

Yeah, the grainy low res quality is certainly convincing i'll give you that.

Grainy quality is irrelevant. Feature set looks on target for NI strategy, and source of image via google shopping search showed some breadcrumbs

Never stated it was/wasn't real, just folks will believe what they like when presented with anything they want to believe in, as you say, quality (accuracy) of the source is irrelevant. Until something is announced it's all irrelevant like Schrodinger's cat, it's both true and untrue until proven otherwise.

I guess, Kaiwan said it quite clearly. At least for those, who come from east-european block....

This is a scenario that has likelihoods based on preceding factors, and opinions of accuracy are fun to discuss (for many people).
