Frequently Asked Questions
The aftertouch is subtle and responsive, more nuanced than the older Synth Action keybeds, but not as intense as some dedicated synth controllers.
Yes, the screen is reasonably bright and adjustable, but direct sunlight will obviously wash it out; it’s perfectly usable in most studio environments.
While it supports a vast library, not *every* Native Instruments instrument is NKS-enabled; check the NI website for a current list of compatible instruments.
