Producers and DJs can plan to utilize it during live performances as well, which simply wasn’t possible before. We think it’s amazing how Native Instruments has been able to reimagine the KA6 in such a way, that the unit is now a totally viable option for professional producers. The original model was limited – best suitable for hobbyists or lo-fi bedroom artists in need of a mic input or two. The interface is now capable of recording up to 192 kHz at 24 bits, which should be a huge sigh of relief for our fellow audiophiles. Native Instruments’ KA6 MkII is undoubtedly a step up from the original unit, the Komplete Audio 6, which only had a maximum sample rate of 96 kHz. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another interface to do this – for the price at least. So, for any readers with a Eurorack, you’re in luck. In practice, this allows the KA6 MkII the ability to pass control voltages (CV) directly from software to hardware modular or even semi-modular devices.
