 Do not buy this item! October 26, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
To be fair, everything works as advertised. However, there is an intermittent crackle and pop that can't be resolved, seemingly by Native-Instruments as well as dozens of users. Check out the NI website forum before even thinking about buying this item. Basically, the drivers, both MAC and Vista, are no good. Native-Instruments has nil customer service, answering only one of my numerous requests for help, and that after over a week and with nothing helpful at all.
Stay away from this. They make excellent software, but can't quite get hardware to work correctly.
 Great USB solution for the simple home studio. May 18, 2007

Audio Kontrol 1 is an elegant piece of hardware -- with physical heft, great software, nice sound quality, and a plethora of inputs (midi in and out, XLR in, and 1/8" in). This isn't for the project studio that relies on recording multiple inputs simultaneously, but not everyone needs that. It also comes with terrific soft synth and amp simulation software. The soft synth organs are excellent and unusual, with wonderful vintage timbres. If you don't have a FireWire input (which has superior throughput), this is the best USB solution I've used that combines midi and audio in a sleek, durable, and attractive package.
