When the Komplete Kontrol S61 comprehensive USB/MIDI keyboard came out, it had an extremely important feature that had never been seen before: LED lights above the keys that corresponded to a colour-coded system in the Kontakt software so you could keep track of where your key switches were at all times. I am on a Mac, so every year there is an OS update, and sometimes these updates break things, and sometimes developers cease to release new versions to keep up with the OS changes. Knobs nice and very accurately work when setting any parameters or recording automation, as well as when you touch them from above(have sensors) - show other parameters. The S61 MK2 retains all the functionality that made the original so sought-after while boasting a range of upgrades and improvements.This unparalleled direct connection means no interruptions to your workflow with not just NI instruments but thousands of partner sounds, instruments, and effects. Other cool features that set the Komplete Kontrol series apart from the pack is the innovative key lighting system, which allows the user to highlight (with actual lights above the keys) any keys into a scale and also provides note quantization should the player play a note outside of the selected scale, great for making melodies and composing on the fly or on the go. The company develops a wide variety of products: Software solutions such as Komplete, which hosts a huge range of virtual instruments that emulate both acoustic and electronic instruments in hi-fi quality, and Reaktor, which lets you create your own virtual instruments - through to hardware products such as beat-making and DJ controllers.

An incredibly well spec'd and well built MIDI controller keyboard, in it's own right, but it's super tight integration with the Native Instruments software library via the Komplete Kontrol application, is where it comes into life. Use the adapter to connect the provided USB-C cable from the keyboard’s HOST port to your computer’s USB-A port. To use your KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard with Ableton Live, you must carry out additional configuration steps after finishing this installation.The only hardware issue is that encoders are very close to each other so if you have big fingers you'll have to be careful. The Aftertouch feature provides added realism when playing, delivering a nuanced sound for added performance value. It's not just the two high-resolution displays that provide a great overview: The buttons are illuminated in different colours, and the Light Guide above the keyboard shows the positions of sounds, keyboard zones, etc. Get your discounted package of Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 plus KOMPLETE 11 here or with KOMPLETE 11 ULTIMATE here.
