Verdict
Pros
Excellent audio performance. Good combination of inputs and outputs. Amazingly versatile software controller. Extremely portable. Useful software bundle.
Cons
Some audio glitch issues. A bit on the heavy side.
The bottom line
NI’s interface delivers the audio and the ‘kontrol’ features that its name promises in some style. You could happily carry one in a laptop bag.
