That is piss poor with or without MIDI out. No faders, no panning, no mute, no solo, no track arming, no clip launching. You can switch between tracks, transport controls, and you can play the keys on non-NI tracks.

Komplete Kontrol has shitty DAW integration. It's not a big deal that somebody was wrong about the keyboard's midi capabilities because the original point still stands anyway: You have to click a link at the bottom of the page and then you it talks about that on the bottom of that page. On that entire page it says nothing of DAW integration or non-NI compatibility. Komplete : Keyboards : Komplete Kontrol S Series | Products I'm talking about the information and videos NI themselves have put out on the subject. It doesn't matter if some random internet posts and youtube videos have been spouting false rumors consistently. When you use KOMPLETE Instruments and third-party instruments together in a session, KOMPLETE KONTROL automatically switches between MIDI mode and KOMPLETE KONTROL software when you select a track – uninterrupted workflow.' The Specifications page also shows that it does indeed have 'MIDI In/Out'. Adjust touch strip behavior, configure keyboard splits with Light Guide™ visual feedback, and create custom templates. KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboards also feature extensive MIDI control for third-party instruments with the included Controller Editor software.

For example, if you go to the Kontrol-S Series page on NI's site, under Feature Details, it says 'ADVANCED MIDI CAPABILITIES All it takes is to go to the official product page where basic specification details like whether it has MIDI out, is there for all to see.

It's not like I haven't been trying to figure out how it works with non-NI products sine KK was first announced.It doesn't matter if some random internet posts and youtube videos have been spouting false rumors consistently. All it takes is actually looking up the product information rather than just assuming some random gearslut post as fact.The random post was pretty consistent with what I have been seeing from youtube videos, posts, etc.
