Say hello to the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2, an intelligent MIDI keyboard controller that provides full access to all of your VSTs and synthesisers thanks to the flawless integration with Komplete software as well as third party plug-ins when using Native Kontrol Standard.

The S61 Mk2 comes with a high-quality Fatar keybed that features 61 semi-weighted, velocity sensitive keys with aftertouch as well as a pitch bend, modulation wheel, and touch strip. These features allow you to get super expressive while you’re playing and results in more natural sounding performances as well as being able to modulate your sounds with precision. There are also eight rotary controls which allow you to tweak your sounds and mix as you go, you have full control over each parameter so you can adjust everything as you please. The S61MK2 is a high-functioning keyboard that makes a perfect addition to any existing setup.

Browsing and tweaking is easier than ever before thanks to the two full colour, high-resolution screens, and the four-directional push encoder. With these, you can navigate your project and easily see what you’re doing without having to use your computer, so the music making process becomes more intuitive. You can use the tag-based preset browser to rapidly find the exact sounds you need and hear instant previews, no longer will you have to spend hours searching through folders to get what you want, and with the S61 MK2, it is all right there on the screen. The S61 Mk2 provides you with pre-mapped control of Komplete instruments alongside hundreds of Native Kontrol Standard instruments from leading brands, and on top of all that there is full VSTi support.

The S61 MK2 also comes with Light Guide technology, above each key is an RGB light that will change colour and highlight specific keys such as drum cells, scales, key switches and also chords. The Smart Play function lets you view scales and modes with the light guide and can trigger full chords and arpeggios with a single key as well as map any scale to only the white keys. This function means you can never go out of key or hit a wrong note and is a fantastic feature for those who are new to music theory as well as producers and live performers who need an easy way to play without ruining the melodic harmony.
