Hi,
I am looking at the different options for the Komplete Kontrol by Native Instruments and still can't decide which one to get, I am mostly doubting between the S61 and the S88, as I already own the Maschine MK3 and I am liking the displays a lot, I find them very useful to navigate through the sound libraries, using the mixer, effects...
The thing is that I am learning some music theory and would like to restart learning piano basics, so I thought the S88 would be the right choice in my case (I guess I can use the light guides for learning piano songs).
But on the other side I like to take my gear to my bed and work there very often just to not be sitting on a chair the whole day as I have some back problems.
Now my question is: for the ones who already own the S88 and know the gear, is it too heavy and big to be carrying it from one place to the other very often (several days a week, but my bed is just a couple of meters away from my desk, not a big distance actually)? Or is it something you could imagine doing in case you needed/wanted to do?
I think the S61 should obviously be easier to carry, but in that case I would missing the possibility to play some piano pieces when learning as I would need to be switching octaves in some cases.
What do you think? Are there other considerations apart from these two I should take in consideration before making my decision?
- Weight and size for carrying the keyboard
- Full piano with 88 full weighted keys vs 61 half weighted keys
Here are the links to the products in case needed:
