Product Information

Andertons Music Company acts as a credit broker and not a lender and only offers credit products from Secure Trust Bank PLC trading as V12 Retail Finance. When the Komplete Kontrol S61 comprehensive USB/MIDI keyboard came out, it had an extremely important feature that had never been seen before: LED lights above the keys that corresponded to a colour-coded system in the Kontakt software so you could keep track of where your key switches were at all times.

The sound of an iconic 70s electric piano – beautifully sampled and perfectly preserved in all its analog brilliance. With two pedal inputs, pitch and modulation wheel, touch strip, and eight assignable buttons and knobs each, it offers plenty of controllers for extensive control tasks. This is complemented by the high-quality, semi-weighted keyboard with 61 keys - a true pleasure for recording tracks. Here you can move between tracks, record enable the template of sounds you have up and running, or move the Transport playback bar by scrolling.The Komplete Kontrol S61 MkII also boasts pre-mapped control of Komplete instruments, as well as hundreds of Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) instruments. Monophonic synthesizer capturing every sonic nuance of the king of analog monosynths in spectacular detail – the holy grail of analog modeling.

There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Thereafter, Komplete Kontrol has been designed foremost for driving the initial, creative stages of building a track, and many of its new functions have this in mind. Bring new layers of nuance to your playing with cutoff, pitch, vibrato, and much more, without reaching for an extra encoder or dial.

Finding the right sound amongst a sprawling sound library can be difficult, not to mention time consuming.

Hit the ground running with polyphonic aftertouch presets in Hypha, a Kontakt instrument with an array of sounds inspired by nature. Plus, the S88 is the world’s first widely available controller keyboard to combine polyphonic aftertouch with weighted, hammer-action keys. The Mixer button will display your DAW’s Mixer screen, with the surrounding controls then able to grab hold of parameters like Volume and Pan.KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboards also function as MIDI controllers assignable controls and Light Guide features. Brilliantly, this is part of NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) content too, so not only can you audition sounds from NI’s own instruments, third-party content from Arturia, Spitfire Audio, Output and many others will also appear.

Whilst NI has, through the years, also designed hardware to harness the power of some of its software titles, until Komplete Kontrol’s release in 2014, never had such an integrated solution been released. Software instruments can be easily controlled using the keyboard's controls, and tedious parameter assignments are a thing of the past. A 4-directional push encoder allows you to navigate sound and projects and the keyboard even includes RGB lights above each key, ideal for highlighting drum cells, chords, scales and more. Whilst it hasn’t been updated since the original version of Komplete Kontrol, it’s still worth drawing attention to the aftertouch-enabled Fatar keyboard, which is pleasingly musical to play.
