Hello all. I am in the market for a new MIDI keyboard and found that Native Instruments keyboards are known for nice build quality.
The product information has me worried, however - there is mention of some kind of online activation process being needed to use the product. It would be difficult for me to do this as I exclusively use a Linux machine, and would much prefer a standalone offline unit with no strings attached. Can Komplete Kontrol A-series keyboards operate in this manner or would I be better off with e.g. a Novation SL?
I use standard MIDI-compatible software (LMMS, ALSA-seq API) to make music but would be open to working on a translation layer/driver if it would allow for finer control resolution than 7-bit MIDI CCs and enough technical information was provided.
Thank you!
