The KORE 2 Controller from Native Instruments is a perfect match for the company's KORE system, providing tightly integrated hardware control for analog-style software navigation. With a free update to version 2.1, the controller is also a powerful universal hardware controller for use with any MIDI-compatible hardware or software.
A high-resolution, back-lit display is context sensitive and depending on the selected function, provides the configuration of the eight knobs and buttons, controller assignments and current values, plus a complete menu overview. The rear panel of the controller provides MIDI In and Out jacks, 2 footswitch and 2 pedal inputs, along with the USB 2.0 interface.
The included Controller Editor application provides pre-mapped templates to use KORE as a MIDI controller for many Native Instruments and third-party products, as well as the option to fully customize MIDI assignments for any hardware/software set-up.
