    • For its class, a great keyboard

      The encoders feel great and the features are everything that I need. I would prefer more weighted keys but for this class of keyboard, they're among the best that I've felt, albeit small.

      I bought this product primarily to "test the waters" and see what I was missing by not having a Kontrol keyboard with Komplete. I chose this over the A25 because the the additional keys, but I have to admit I was concerned about the mini-sized keys. Well, as the title says, I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, they are small, but surprisingly usable, even with my self-proclaimed, kinda-chubby fingers. Definitely usable, and pretty decent quality for a mini Keybed. Best of all, I now know what the hoopla is about when it comes to Komplete. I'm starting to get the hang of it, and I do have to admit that while it's not an absolute necessity, it does help with the workflow. I'm still trying to figure out proper MIDI mapping in Live - the available listings in Love's controller settings don't match up with the one's suggested in the manual, so I have to knock a point off for that (and the packaging comments below) - but overall, I do like the M32, and I can definitely see myself stepping up to an S series one day. No rush for now though - happy with my M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 at the moment for main playing duties.

      You will need an adaptor set for the voltage required - 240 V in your case.. The keyboard will work with any adaptor. I'm sorry but we don't carry those types of parts.

      I'm an iPhone producer who mainly uses Garage Band for iOS as my DAW. I am asking for the power requirements of the m32 because last time I tried plugging a midi controller into my iPhone my phone said that the accessory required too much power. I have read that the iPhone can now only supply 20mA to an external device through the lightning port as a result of software updates that set restrictions on the amount of power allowed to pass through the lightning port. I had to return the last controller I bought, the Akai mpk mini play because of this, it didn't work for me. I don't want to buy another really cool controller just to find out it won't work for my style of producing. Thanks
