Native Instruments - Kontrol S61 MK3 + K15 Ultimate
These models in stock may be of interest to you:
Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 MK3 is a 61-key semi-weighted master keyboard designed for demanding sound designers. Coupled with the Komplete 15 Ultimate Upgrade for S-Series MK3 software bundle, this pack becomes an ultra-complete production platform, ready to host all your musical delusions, from symphonic soundtracks to home-made beat traps. With its high-resolution colour screen, polyphonic aftertouch and anodised aluminium controls, the Kontrol S61 MK3 will transform your music workflow into a real sonic promenade. It does more than just control your virtual instruments: it integrates them, understands them and makes them sublime! It's a bit like your computer saying "look, I've become a studio pro". All this, of course, in a package perfectly optimised for smooth DAW integration, intuitive navigation and expressive playing. Curious to see how far it can go? All you have to do is put your fingers on it.
Presentation
The high-resolution 1,280 x 480 colour screen isn't there for show, although we love it for that too. It lets you navigate, adjust your instruments and mix without taking your eyes off the keyboard. With eight encoders, a 4D wheel, and well thought-out touch controls, the S61 MK3 reconciles those who like turning knobs and those who prefer typing keys.
The redesigned NKS technology gives you access to thousands of perfectly integrated instruments and effects. The S61 MK3 opens the doors to all the major plug-in editors (Arturia, Heavyocity, Spitfire, U-He and others). Presets are mapped directly to the keyboard, settings are made by feel, and you almost forget you're in a DAW. Yes, even if your computer sometimes scares you.
The Komplete 15 Ultimate Upgrade for S-Series MK3 bundle, supplied with this model, is a factory of sounds. Between legendary synths (Massive X, FM8, Reaktor), vintage drums (Abbey Road Drummer), touching pianos (Noire, Una Corda) and iZotope mix tools, you've got a collection as generous as your grandmother's fridge at Christmas. Creation becomes a game, a huge playground in fact, to be explored with keyboard in hand.
When it comes to connectivity, you won't have to beg for an adapter. With its USB-C ports, 4 pedal inputs and MIDI inputs/outputs, the S61 MK3 connects to anything that makes sound. And thanks to the MIDI templates, it can be used in plug-and-play mode as well as in vintage purist mode that refuses to turn on its screen.
Thanks to Smart Play, you can trigger arpeggios or chord progressions with a single finger. It's not magic, but it's close. The Komplete Kontrol S61 MK3 is compatible with the major DAWs (Ableton, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, etc.) and offers you seamless integration. If you've always wanted your keyboard to anticipate your desires, now might be the time to give in.
