The Komplete Kontrol A25 is a fantastic entry point for bedroom producers and those needing a compact MIDI controller. It’s surprisingly well-equipped with a decent software selection and intuitive controls, but be aware that the short keybed and lighter action won’t satisfy experienced pianists or those wanting a truly expressive feel.
