The mini keys are great for laying down bass and lead lines but don’t expect to comfortably bash out a classical piece.Ībleton Live 10 Lite is bundled with the M32. Don’t be discouraged by the tiny OLED screen as we discovered with the A Series, its size belies its considerable utility - be it scrolling through preset categories in Komplete Kontrol or reading out parameter values.

Ribbon sliders replace wheels for pitch bend and modulation and a foot pedal can be plugged into the back. Many of the A and S Series’ physical controls are shared by the M32, such as the pre-mapped touch sensitive knobs, hybrid scroll wheel/joystick and backlit buttons. The new M32 weights in at 1.45kg and is a cute 475 x 167mm.
