Topic: Any feedback on Arturia Keylab or Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol?

Hi guys!
I'm looking for a great master keyboard that implements nicely with virtual instruments and my DAW.
I also want that it responds beautifully to Pianoteq, since piano will be my main tool...

I saw that these seem  to be some of the newest on the market:
- Arturia Keylab
- Komplete Kontrol

I'm a pianist so I realise that these aren't piano-emulation keys like the Kaway VPC1.
But I was curious if anyone has used these with Pianoteq and how 'playability' and 'piano-ness' worked out? (For lack of better words)

Cheers,
Marco

Re: Any feedback on Arturia Keylab or Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol?

Are you looking at the Keylab 61 or the 88. I tried the Keylab 88 and really hoped it would work well but I was not impressed with the velocity curve options. As you will see from this post I connected it to a Kurzweil Artis and could not get it to respond well on any velocity setting. I'm not optimistic that anyone else has got it to work well either since no one has replied to my post and I have had 150 views of that question as of this point.
