I have a KK Keyboard, love it's integration with NI instruments.
Running Logic Pro.
I now also want a pad controller (since the keyboard doesn't have any! Grrr)
I don't want the beat making capabilities or the software necessarily. Hence only keen on the Mikro Mk3. But will likely use it with NI Komplete's drums or Battery.
I cannot tell if the lights will colour properly, or flash when hit, without the Machine software running it. I want all the versatility of the keyboard in the pads.
The only reason I though of buying a NI product for this, over other brands, was for the dynamic colouring of the pads to correspond with all the instruments. But am hearing that it is a brick without the Maschine software.
Cheers,Paul.
