in Komplete Kontrol

I ve a problem with NI products, here it is.
Il bought a KKM32 one month ago and i want to buy a Komplete 15 standard but I encounter problems with VST Sessions (for example Strummed acoustic).
As I m not a good misician, VST 'Sessions' will help me to play guitar.
But,

KKM32 is 2,5 octave and begin with an E note (why not a C???) and is 32. VST Sessions need 3 octaves.
So I cannot reach together :
- The control notes from C1 to G1
- The play notes one octave higher from the E note.

Is the Only way to Use the VST 'Sessions guitarist' is to buy a A49 or S49?

Thank s a lot
Best Regards,
Tal

    To play Sessions (or any other instrument with key switches) “live”, yes a bigger keyboard (more keys) is quite necessary.

    Of course choosing a 32 keys keyboard imposes limitations. This is the kind of keyboard you should chose for portability or if you just plan to play melodies (or chords) one at the time.

    A workaround for this could be, if you have any other controller, to use that one for playing lower octaves (and therefore key switches) and the M32 to play the sounds.

    About the start note (which is an F, not an E) I suppose it’s just a matter of choice: starting with F, they can end the last octave on the right side with all the notes. If they started with C, last octave would be cut anyway.

    And probably also to have middle C in a position where they think users’ hands are more prone to land.

    In Komplete keyboard you can always chose different Modes distributing the notes differently on the keys, although I do understand it is not the same
