![]() I've decided to keep mine because I don't want to be someone who for the second time buys a keyboard and sends it back. The Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2 is a serious device and undoubtedly manufactured with care, but if you're primarily a player rather than a producer, and you're looking for a keyboard that plays like an acoustic, consider the Yamahas priced around $500. A better comparison is to a $400 Casio Privia I bought and returned several years ago. Any acoustic that feels like this keyboard is in need of major repair. I've played acoustics for almost fifty years. Their comments helped persuade me to buy it. ![]() ![]() Other reviewers liken the Komplete Kontrol's feel to that of an acoustic. To play this keyboard well with speed and delicacy is difficult if not impossible. Unless one has amazing control of one's fingers, the four keys won't hit at the same time. In addition to being extremely well built, they feel fantastic, offering enough resistance so that you can really lay into the keys, while recovering fast. On the three black keys the fingers sit at or near the front, but on the white key the finger is near the back, so to push it down requires much more pressure. There's virtually no way to play these notes very softly (pianissimo) as a block chord. Imagine playing G#m7, root position, right hand, 1-2-3-5. The keyboard was too heavy even for hammer touch. Ive been playing the piano for over 10 years and now I have a real piano in my room. The feeling that I touched for a moment was not as good as I thought. The keys are heavy, and each key increases significantly in stiffness from front to back. I bought the S88 Mk2 a few days ago, but it seems to have to be returned due to a defective product. I won't address most of the Komplete Kontrol's features my only subject here is playability. If so, they might have saved me from a regrettable purchase. I wonder whether there were other negative reviews before mine and Sweetwater chose not to post those either. Sweetwater has apparently decided not to publish it. ![]() I dislike writing negative reviews, but I thought this one was important, so I submitted it to Sweetwater, where I bought the keyboard.
