At the center of your studio, Kontrol integrates with a wide range of setups, whatever your creative style. Kontrol S-Series MK3 is an advanced MIDI keyboard controller that deeply integrates with Kontakt, Komplete Kontrol, and your DAW, facilitating an intuitive connection to instruments, effects, and your recording workflow. You can find sounds quickly with intuitive on-screen navigation, and adjust them thanks to intelligent auto-mapping using next-generation NKS technology. This direct connection means no interruptions to your workflow with not just NI instruments but thousands of partner sounds, instruments, and effects.

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. Kontrol's deep instrument integration is powered by a redesigned NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) technology. It's the plugin standard that's used across the industry so you can access thousands of premium instruments, effects, loops, and samples both NI and Native Instruments' partner developers like Arturia, Heavyocity, Korg, Output, Spitfire, and u-he. All precisely mapped to your keyboard controls. The keyboard's polyphonic aftertouch enables you play sound parameters expressively with the slightest pressure on individual keys. The Light Guide shows you key switches, key zones, scales, and more, and Play Assist makes it easy to create a chord progression by playing single keys, or map the white keys to a specific scale. The Kontrol MK3 keyboard can be used to browse, control and play your products in Kontakt and in Komplete Kontrol as well as to control supported DAWs. The keyboard is equipped with the same top-quality semi-weighted Fatar keybed with polyphonic aftertouch. The S88 comes with professional, fully-weighted, hammer-action keys with polyphonic aftertouch, also made by Fatar. Beyond the keybed, all keyboards come with identical features. With MIDI templates you can use Kontrol in standalone mode to play external synths, drum machines and other MIDI devices. And with on-device Play Assist you can use any MIDI compatible software plugin or hardware synthesizer without the need for Komplete Kontrol software. Plus, get connected to whatever you need with USB-C power and connectivity, MIDI in and out, and four pedal inputs - one sustain, one expression, and two assignable.
