Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 Mk2

Introducing the Native Instrument Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 advanced MIDI keyboard, featuring more octaves for those who are used to playing on bigger keyboards, yet still, require a keyboard controller for deep integration with Komplete. 

The Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 comes with two durable and responsive modulation and pitch wheels that will allow you to add detailed sound attenuation via automation; this also makes this a powerful live performance tool as well.

Along with your Kontrol S61 MIDI keyboard, you also receive Komplete 11 Select software – an 11 strong collection of professional quality instruments and effects. This music production software suite is designed to integrate perfectly with the keyboard allowing you to change every parameter within each instrument or effect.

Plugins included with Komplete 11 Select include; Solid Bus Compressor – an extremely versatile and responsive compressor perfect for use on auxiliary channels for slight glue compression on drums or more obvious parallel distortion compression. You could even add this to individual channels. The presets can be browsed within these instruments directly from the MIDI Keyboard controller via the two high-resolution screens for a more enjoyable music production experience.

Another feature of the NI S61 MK2 include the four-directional push control which is ideal for browsing presets and libraries fast, thus allowing you to match a sound to your idea quicker than ever before.

The NI Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 is nearly a full sized keyboard, so you can take advantage of the two assignable pedal inputs and use this to play on. Traditional composers will like the ability to play different sections of an orchestra, allowing you to write and record full compositions. Combining this with the Smart Play function will allow you to map over 100 modes and scales in any key of your choosing, to the keyboard and RGB light guide, giving you a powerful music writing tool.
