The reason I ask is that this guy thinks it is really clunky to operate this keyboard inside Live:

Another thing I read about this is that "since im a Mac user, i need to actually upgrade my Ableton Live to 64bit version, and of course, i need to do this for all of my VSTs." Is it correct that you need to be on 64bit to use this NI keyboard with Live?

I have NI S61/Push2 combo.

If I was purchasing again I would get S49, because S61 is a bit long on the desk.

I also have Novation SL37 for in front of display. But 49 key would be perfect size I think.

Yes, KK software is 64 bit only.

2013 called and said you should have done this already.

Or at least that’s when Logic Pro X was released and it is only 64 bit. I was forced to do it and have never looked back.
