Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A61 MIDI Keyboard

FIND YOUR SOUNDS FASTER!

Komplete Kontrol A61 has so many presets to pick from that it might be difficult to get the appropriate sound. With KOMPLETE KONTROL, however, all of your KOMPLETE and NKS presets are naturally classified and organized, making it quick and easy to discover the perfect one. Furthermore, you can listen to a preview of each sound while browsing without having to load individual instruments.

Need some real low-end? Select SYNTH > BASS > SUB BASS using the encoders and OLED display, then listen through the presets and load the one that best suits your music.

PRE-MAPPED AND READY FOR PLAY

The Komplete Kontrol A61 gives instrument designers, who are the experts on them, pre-mapped all of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments and effects to the KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware. When you touch the correct knob, the OLED display instantly displays essential information, such as envelope controls and filter cutoffs. That means you can see exactly what you’re changing in real-time, whether in kHz, dB, or BPM.

Perform creatively.

With Smart Play of Komplete Kontrol A61, you never have to worry about hitting the erroneous note; simply select a scale and play. Activate chord mode to construct a rich sequence by playing single keys, then use the arpeggiator to transform it into an expressive musical performance. For keyboard beginners, Easy Mode allows you to map the white keys to any scale you want.
