Native Instruments Kontrol S49 MK3

Description

A smart controller keyboard available in three sizes, designed to be the centerpiece of any studio. Virtual instruments meet the real world with seamless Kontakt integration and a high-resolution screen. What’s more, Polyphonic aftertouch provides intuitive parameter control across all three models, combined with the S88’s hammer-action weighted keys. All housed in a revised design that looks incredible and is built to last.

Thousands of instruments made real, virtual instruments come to life in a truly immersive experience. Whatever you’re playing, you have deep control and integration through advanced NKS technology. You quickly find sounds with intuitive on-screen navigation, then adjust and play them fluidly thanks to intelligent auto-mapping. This unprecedented direct connection enables you to play completely realistic Kontakt instruments, plus thousands of sounds, instruments, and effects from partners, with no interruptions to your workflow.

Take expression a step further, and instinctively control parameters with minimal pressure on each individual key. Modulate cutoffs, pitch, vibrato and more without reaching for an additional control. All three models have an industry-leading keybed, developed in collaboration with Fatar to deliver the best possible polyphonic aftertouch experience.
