Because there is no pop-up window, this also means that you cannot sort your instruments by type (Synth or Sampled or Drums) or select an individual preset bank within an instrument.It's definitely been taking away from my workflow since I've gotten used to that feature. The M32 does not do that, which is big disappointment for me. On S Series MK1, which similarly did not have a color screen, pressing Browse would launch a large pop-up screen on your laptop allowing you to browse instruments with thumbnails and highlight which part of the browser was currently selected. When browsing instruments/sounds, there is no pop-up window that shows off the thumbnails.



I might have to get a slightly bigger bag to carry this around in, but it's much more portable than the 25-key controllers NI has made. The buttons are clicky, and the whole unit is very light while still giving the impression of durability. Even though the keys are mini sized, they feel a lot nicer than a lot of similar sized controllers I've tried (such as the Akai LPK25). I like that's it's portable, I love the DAW control, but I hate that certain things from the S Series MK1 are missing that I was not expecting (like the big browser window and the speed of scrolling).
