The Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S49 MK3 is a high-end master keyboard designed to deliver an immersive and intuitive musical experience.

Featuring 49 semi-weighted Fatar-quality keys, this keyboard is equipped with the latest-generation NKS technology, enabling seamless software integration with Kontakt and a wide range of partner instruments, effects and sounds.

Polyphonic aftertouch adds an extra expressive dimension to your playing.

The high-resolution colour screen with a 1280 x 480 mm glass surface provides a clear, detailed visual interface, making it easy to navigate and control parameters.

The Komplete Kontrol S49 MK3 is constructed from high-quality materials, including anodised and bead-blasted aluminium, and features 8 encoder caps, a 4D encoder cap, and two pitch bend and modulation wheels with RGB illumination.

The redesigned Light Guide allows you to play without false notes, easily locating sounds, keyboard zones, keyswitches and scales.

The new control layout groups functions together to form a continuous, dust-free control surface, improving ergonomics and durability.

MIDI via USB, power via USB-C, plus inputs for sustain, expression and two assignable pedals, offer maximum flexibility for a variety of playing configurations.

Integration with leading software sequencers goes beyond the usual transport controls, allowing in-depth control of production projects.

The Komplete Kontrol S49 MK3 comes with a powerful software suite including Komplete Select, Komplete Kontrol software, Stradivari Cello, Guitar Rig LE, Elements Suite (iZotope), and Hypha. These tools offer a vast palette of sounds and unlimited creative possibilities.

The Komplete Kontrol S49 MK3 measures 802.2 x 323 x 86 mm and weighs 5.5 kg, making it a compact, portable master keyboard without compromising quality or functionality.
