Description

Stay in the flow with our next-generation MIDI keyboard controller. Seamlessly control instruments, effects, and your DAW. Browse and tweak everything from synths and drums to orchestral libraries, scoring tools, effects and sounds directly on your keyboard. Navigate effortlessly with the high-res screen. And choose your perfect size with 49, 61 semi-weighted, or 88 fully-weighted hammer-action options – all with expressive polyphonic aftertouch.

Virtual instruments meet the real world
Kontrol brings the world’s best virtual instruments to life in a genuinely immersive experience. Whatever you’re playing, get in-depth control thanks to an unparalleled direct connection to Kontakt. Find sounds quickly with intuitive on-screen navigation, then adjust and play them with intelligent auto-mapping that understands the parameters.

The widest choice of quality sounds
Kontrol’s deep instrument integration is powered by a redesigned NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) technology. It’s our plugin standard that’s used across the industry so you can access thousands of premium instruments, effects, loops, and samples both NI and our partner developers like Arturia, Heavyocity, Korg, Output, Spitfire, and u-he. All precisely mapped to your keyboard controls.

Introducing polyphonic aftertouch
Take expression one step further with the slightest pressure on individual keys. Bring new layers of nuance to your playing with cutoff, pitch, vibrato, and much more, without reaching for an extra encoder or dial.

All three models come complete with polyphonic aftertouch on an industry-leading keybed developed in collaboration with Fatar. Plus, the S88 is the world’s first widely available controller keyboard to combine polyphonic aftertouch with weighted, hammer-action keys.

Deeper into your DAW
Smooth integration with all major DAWs means you can keep your eyes on your keyboard and away from your computer screen. Hit record, stop, and rewind on the keys, mix and edit, and see all your project’s channels on the display.

Highly visual
See switches, key zones, scales, and more lit up in front of you with the intelligent Light Guide. Chord Mode lets you create a progression by playing single keys, while Easy Mode maps the white keys to whichever scale you need.

Plug and play
Get connected to whatever you need with USB-C power and connectivity, MIDI in and out, and four assignable TRS pedal inputs including a default sustain and default expression.

Built to last
All three models are built from the same premium materials with a large glass screen, touch-sensitive anodised aluminum encoders and modwheels, and redesigned tactile buttons.

Included software
You’ll be ready to go from day one with a load of sought-after virtual instruments and effects, plus post-production tools to finish your final tracks.

The package includes Kontakt 7, Komplete 14 Select, Komplete Kontrol, and a voucher for any NI Kontakt instrument of your choice. Plus get iZotope Elements Suite, Ableton Live Lite, Hypha, Guitar Rig 7 LE, and more.
