Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S49

The Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S49 is a semi-weighted, 49-key USB Midi controller keyboard that opens up the full potential of Komplete.

Feel the world's most advanced software instruments come to life under your fingertips – more intuitive, expressive and inspirational than ever before.

Browse and load sounds with the push of a button – Komplete Kontrol manages the entire Komplete universe in a single plug-in, thanks to the tag-based browsing system. Dig deep into thousands of sounds with ease, thanks to the unified browsing workflow of Komplete Kontrol – limitless inspiration in a single plug-in.

Search for sounds across all Komplete Instruments using musical tags and keywords. Just press the Browse button, turn the push encoder to select your instrument, choose a sound, and go. The keyboard and all its features remain fully functional even when in Browse mode – never stop performing.

Play chords with single keys or map the entire keyboard to musical scales. Activate chord mode and create a rich harmonic performance by playing single keys.

Map chords simply by selecting mode and inversion, or by loading up a chord set – ready-to-play progressions to inspire and augment your own compositions.

Create melodies at the touch of a button with the advanced arpeggiator – optimised for hands-on performance.

Bend, warp and automate sounds like never before with the highly flexible touch strips.

Use Komplete Kontrol’s arpeggiator to turn one note into a full musical performance – directly from the hardware and independent of the instrument.

The eight controller knobs manage parameters such as direction, rate, rhythm, patterns, and variations.

Deliver dynamic performances with two ultra-sensitive touch strips. They can mimic the behaviour of pitch and mod wheels, and physical objects like springs and bouncing balls for interesting modulation curves. Or create instant shifts with different stepped settings.
