Now the hardware has been updated with last month's release of a MK2 version of the Kontrol S49 and Kontrol S61 keyboards. It was further enhanced with the release of NKS, a parameter mapping and preset organisation system that has been adopted by software developers like Soniccouture, Arturia, u-He and more. The software has seen updates that introduced support for third-party plug-ins. Native Instruments' Komplete Kontrol ecosystem has come a long way since we first reviewed the Kontrol S-series keyboard back in 2014.You can then fine-tune the final look of your mix with a compressor or delay effect. In addition, you can enrich your tracks with the sound of acoustic pianos, vintage electric pianos, organs, drums or exotic percussion. The Komplete 13 Select music library then contains 17 products, including monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers based on legendary instruments or designed for contemporary production. Of course, there's easy mapping and tagging capabilities, so you'll always find your presets easily. Komplete Kontrol allows for sophisticated integration between the controller and all Komplete instruments, as well as over 300 other Native Kontrol Standard instruments from other manufacturers.
In addition, the visual system is complemented by color-coded light navigation directly behind the keyboard, so you always have a perfect overview of the position of individual sounds, zones, scales and more.īut the most powerful weapon the Kontrol S61 gives you for battling in the field of modern music production is the bundled software. Visual feedback is provided by two displays that clearly and graphically show everything that's going on in the software.
There are eight knobs for parameter control and performance buttons with quick access to functions like undo, redo, quantize, loop and more. A four-sided encoder has also been added, making it easy to navigate through your sound library or directly within individual tracks of your project. The keyboard features modulation and pitch wheel with new touch srip for even wider modulation possibilities. If you're looking for a modern production station with a computer-centric design and convenient hardware-based operation, this is the obvious choice. The Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 in MK2 version offers a superb Fatar keyboard with aftertouch, two high-resolution displays for easy navigation through the music library and when adjusting individual parameters, extended control options with front-panel controls, integration with popular DAWs such as Logic, Garage Band and Ableton, and the Komplete 13 Select instrument pack with seventeen products and over seven thousand sounds.
