Some background: S88 MK3 from Native Instruments is the first and only MIDI keyboard I’m aware of that has both hammer-action weighted keys and polyphonic aftertouch. The only other weighted 88-key PolyAT keybed alternative I’m aware of is in the Montage M8X (review coming up soon), which costs and weighs much more, but also comes with a built in Montage… For a look at all the non-keybed related features of the S88 (screen, knobs, functionality, etc) see my full review on youtube - everything is exactly the same. This post is about the feel of the keys on the 88, as opposed to the semi-weighted S49 keybed covered in the review. vs Piano keybed - my pro piano play friend Raz says the keybed feels slightly more weighted than pianos he’s used to playing, and there’s less “bounce back” when you lift your finger off the keys - which takes getting used to if you play fast like he does. That said, it’s certainly something he can practice with compared to regular semi-weighted keys. The keybed is relatively quiet compared to other MIDI keyboards I’ve tried, which is a good thing. On the poly aftertouch side - the travel distance is very similar to the semi-weighted S49 I reviewed - meaning about 1-2mm of travel on the white keys, and around 1mm on the black keys. Because the keys are weighted, unless you play relatively softly, you’ll trigger a certain amount of aftertouch with every keypress - meaning that if you play with above average velocity, you’ll get some aftertouch modulation along with it, so you may need to adjust your presets aftertouch modulation accordingly. Finally, none of the MK3 S series comes with a power supply. That’s not an issue if you’re using the S88 with a computer that can give off enough juice, but if yours doesn’t, you’ll need a power supply that can power it - a regular USB charger may not do the trick (see specs for details) TIMELINE: 0:00 Intro 1:10 Overview 1:55 Poly AfterTouch 2:55 Modes 6:35 Panel & guides 8:05 MK3 Changes 8:40 Next-gen NKS 9:15 More AfterTouch info 10:00 Panel changes 11:30 Connectivity 11:55 Settings 12:15 Komplete Kontrol 12:50 Preset filters 14:10 Non-NKS plugins 16:05 DAW devices 17:30 FX in Komplete 18:40 Scales 19:25 Chords 19:50 Arpeggiator 21:25 Loops & samples 22:00 Kontakt 7 22:30 Multi layers 23:10 Maschine? 24:30 MK3 S88 24:45 Pros, cons 24:55 vs MK2 26:55 vs the world 28:45 Outro Submit review and video ideas here (sorry I don’t offer 1x1 sessions/setup/purchasing advice): ► Ziv (at) loopopmusic.com NOTE: Occasionally I’ll try out affiliate marketing and include affiliate links.
