Product Description

Native Instruments Kontrol S61 is an advanced MIDI keyboard controller available in three size options. Stay in the flow with an intuitive connection to instruments, effects, and your DAW, plus immersive navigation on a high-res screen. It features 61 f61 semi-weighted keys, all with polyphonic aftertouch as standard.

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

A DIRECT CONNECTION WITH KONTAKT

Kontrol brings virtual instruments to life in a genuinely immersive experience. Whatever you’re playing, get in-depth control with deep Kontakt integration and next-generation NKS technology. Find sounds quickly with intuitive on-screen navigation, then adjust and play them thanks to intelligent auto-mapping that understands the parameters. This unparalleled direct connection means no interruptions to your workflow with not just NI instruments but thousands of partner sounds, instruments, and effects.

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.

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.

FEATURES NKS SUPPORT

This controller unlocks seamless control of over 2,000+ NKS instruments and effects. It enables users to load instruments and effects, tweak parameters, browse and manage presets with tangible controls, keeping creators’ minds and hands on the music. No time is wasted creating, saving, and resetting controller parameter mappings. The Native Instruments Komplete 15 Select bundle is included free, packed with synths, sampled instruments, and studio effects suited to your genre of choice to start experiencing the seamless connection between the controller and NKS.

INCLUDED SOFTWARE

With Komplete 14 Select and Komplete Kontrol software included, you’ll be ready to go from day one. Komplete 14 Select is the essential production suite, including powerful synths, drums, percussion, studio-grade effects, and a load of customizable sounds. Komplete Kontrol unites and organizes all your instruments, effects, loops, and samples, mapping everything to the keyboard controller.

Hit the ground running with polyphonic aftertouch presets in Hypha, a Kontakt instrument with an array of sounds inspired by nature. Plus get iZotope Elements Suite, Ableton Live Lite, Guitar Rig 7 LE, and more.
