NATIVE INSTRUMENTS Komplete Kontrol S49 Mk2

 

The Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S49 MkII controller is designed to interface seamlessly with Native Instruments Komplete virtual instruments and offer an efficient and tactile workflow to enhance creativity both in the studio and on stage. Not only can sounds be browsed on the fly, when an instrument or patch is selected all its parameters are instantly mapped and visible on the two new high-res colour displays. Other new features include the ergonomic, rubberised pitch and mod wheels as well as a single touch strip to create unique modulation effects.

 

The Light Guide feature allows vibrant colour-coded recognition of notes to visually identify drum cells, key switches, phrases, diatonic notes of a selected scale and triggered notes when the arpeggiator is on. Also new, is the level of integration between Kontrol and software like Logic, Ableton and Garageband, enabling transport, editing and mixing controls direct on the keyboard. Combined with a premium semi-weighted keybed from Fatar, the Komplete Kontrol S49 MkII’s comprehensive features make it one of the most innovative MIDI controllers ever.      

Includes Native Instruments Komplete 13 Select software.
