New Industrial Design – Extensive Kontakt Integration
New polyphonic aftertouch functionality allows creators to take expression further with the slightest pressure on individual keys, controlling cutoff, pitch, vibrato, and much more without reaching for an extra encoder or dial. All three models include polyphonic aftertouch on a keybed developed in collaboration with Italian manufacturer Fatar.
Kontrol S-Series controllers bring virtual instruments to life and offer an immersive experience with in-depth control via extensive Kontakt integration and Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) technology. NKS brings software instruments, effects, loops, and samples into one smooth workflow, creating integration between NI software, all major DAWs, and thousands of partner sounds, instruments, and effects.
All three models feature a new industrial design with a large glass screen, touch-sensitive anodized aluminum encoders and mod wheels, and redesigned tactile buttons. A specialized visual lighting system makes it easy to stay in the creative zone with an intelligent Light Guide that illuminates switches, key zones, scales, and more. Kontrol S-Series controllers come with a range of software that enables creators to start making music out of the box:
» Komplete 14 Select is the essential production suite, including powerful synths, drums, percussion, studio-grade effects, and a wide range of customizable sounds.
» Komplete Kontrol software unites and organizes instruments, effects, loops, and samples, mapping everything to the keyboard controller.
» Plus: Stradivari Cello, Hypha, Guitar Rig LE, iZotope Elements Suite, and Ableton Live Lite
