Please recommend a way to learn Komplete and the M32

David Macklem

Hello! For a new user and total beginner of Komplete M32, could someone recommend a way to learn? The Native Instruments videos on YouTube assume you already know how to do everything. "Then I just open this.. "... "then I quantize it".... I have no idea what he's doing or how it's happening. Isn't there a total beginner video somewhere?

Hello,

What do you want to learn ?

Maybe reading the user manual is a good start. Maybe a video for beginners about general concepts of music production can be helpful too (I guess internet is full of). The M32 is just a controller, so all tutorials can be interesting, depending on the software you want to use it with.

Hey David, we have a quickstart for the M32 here: M32 QUICKSTART GUIDE

And a quickstart for Komplete Start, which is valid for all Komplete products: KOMPLETE START QUICKSTART

Here you can find on NI's Youtube channel a playlist of videos on how to use Komplete Kontrol in different DAWs:

Thank you Jo.

I found a lot of 5-minute videos on YouTube that assume you already know the Native Instruments eco-system. The videos show you either "what's new" or how to use the other Native Instruments products you already have with the new controller. None of the videos I've found assume you know nothing.

That said, I did find a website called Groove3 that seems to have true-beginner tutorials. So I will start there.

I agree that the page manual must be the most complete explanation, but I like learning through video.

OK. That's excellent Jeremy, thank you. And it wasn't hard to find. I should have searched more on the NI website. I'll do that in the future. The "cheat sheet" is very helpful.

Someday, please add Luna to your list of DAW videos.
