Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S25 Controller Keyboard at a Glance:

• Designed for perfect integration with Komplete
• You'll love playing on this amazing Fatar keybed
• Advanced control options enhance your workflow

When Native instruments introduced their universal tag-based preset system, the Maschine users here at Sweetwater were absolutely stoked. Now they've extended the same capabilities with their Komplete Kontrol S series keyboards. Using the Komplete Kontrol S25's intuitive browser controls, not only can you call up any NI instrument in your collection, you can select individual presets, narrowing down your search by descriptive keywords. Once you've loaded your sound, a set of touch-sensitive controls lets you dial in and tweak your tone on the fly via Native Instruments' Native Map, and the Clear View display lets you view the instrument's most important details at a glance.

There are a few good reasons why keyboardists and keyboard makers love Fatar keybeds like the one in this Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S25. In addition to being extremely well built, they feel fantastic, offering enough resistance so that you can really lay into the keys while recovering fast enough for synth-style repeats. Whether you're playing a piano patch courtesy of The Giant or a lead via Monark, these keys won't let you down. For added expression, Native Instruments also gave the Komplete Kontrol S25 a pair of touch strips, which let you pull off mod and pitch-bending moves out of reach for ordinary control wheels. What's more, the Komplete Kontrol S25's integration with Komplete 10 and up includes its multi-color Light Guide - a series of LEDs above each key that offers performance feedback and reveals advanced playing features.

There are several additional functions onboard the Komplete Kontrol S25 that make playing virtual instruments and writing music even more fun and productive. For instance, you can play chords with single keys or map key ranges to different scales, and the onboard arpeggiator goes far beyond typical arpeggiation, offering you creative new ways to come up with melodies. And to make controlling your DAW of choice simpler, Native Instruments gave the Komplete Kontrol S25 a full set of transport controls.

• Powerful, great-playing keyboard that gives you unrivaled integration with Komplete 9+
• 25-key Fatar keybed offers smooth action and excellent response that lets you get the most from your instruments
• Tag-based unified browsing across all Komplete instruments lets you quickly find the sounds you want, right from the hardware
• Clear View display shows all the most important details at a glance with easily legible text that you can read in any environment
• Dial in the main parameters of any Komplete instrument, which automatically map to the touch-sensitive controller knobs
• Highly flexible touch strip controls with advanced physics offer a level of expression that goes far beyond pitch and mod wheels
• Create arpeggiated melodies at the touch of a button, play chords with single keys, or map the whole keyrange to scales
• Dedicated transport section gives you full access to your DAW's playback and recording controls

Industry Standard Real-time MIDI Controller for the Musician 

With a newly designed key mechanism ― taken from Roland's 30 years of synthesizer development ― players can control a wide dynamic range at will. The re-designed white & black key assemblies have a rounded shape for better reaction to the player’s touch and more comfortable glissando, plus changes have been made to reduce mechanical noise and eliminate vertical shake on the key strokes. In conjunction with this, the newly developed pitch bend and modulation design offers you easier and more expressive control. All these features add up to a keyboard that even the most discerning player can appreciate.
