Master Keyboard
The Kontrol S88 MK3 + K15 Ultimate pack from Native Instruments is an 88-key master keyboard, accompanied by an impressive bundle of VST instruments, all designed to reconcile piano playing and ultra-connected music production. Thanks to Fatar's heavy touch with hammer action and polyphonic aftertouch, it's perfect for musicians looking for expressive sensations without sacrificing digital ergonomics. This model integrates seamlessly into creative environments thanks to its large colour display, intuitive Light Guide, multiple physical controls and MIDI and USB-C connections. It comes with the Komplete 15 Ultimate upgrade, a monumental software bundle covering everything from synths, effects, pianos, drums and guitars to orchestral sounds, sound design and post-production tools. An ideal nerve centre for professional studios and hybrid composers. Give it a try and you'll see, your plugins will prefer it to your mouse.

Presentation
Native Instruments' Komplete Kontrol S88 MK3 doesn't just line up 88 weighted keys to flatter your pianist's ego. Above all, it offers a playing experience that combines fine expressivity and total control over virtual instruments. With its polyphonic aftertouch, you can modulate sounds with surgical precision without needing to multiply your gestures, and your pads will thank you for it. The first of its kind to incorporate this technology on a hammer-action keyboard, it sets new standards.
The integrated high-definition colour screen lets you navigate your Kontakt banks at a glance, adjust your effects or structure your compositions without wasting time. You don't even have to look up from your computer screen, so you probably won't have to revisit that annoying wallpaper you forgot you had. The touch-sensitive aluminium encoders and 4D scroll wheel complete an interface designed for efficiency.
Thanks to next-generation NKS technology, the Komplete Kontrol S88 MK3 gives you access to a sprawling sound ecosystem. Partners such as Spitfire, Heavyocity, Output and Arturia add to an already explosive palette. Every parameter is mapped automatically: you turn a knob, it reacts, you smile. And if it's not magic, it's probably good engineering. Browsing through your libraries becomes an almost suspect pleasure.
With the backlit Light Guide, every key becomes an area to explore. Scales, chords, keyswitches - everything is visually marked out so you don't get lost in the middle of a composition. And since Smart Play mode lets you play chords or arpeggios with just one finger, even your bouts of creative fatigue can be transformed into brilliant ideas. Yes, even on a Monday morning.
The icing on the cake is the Komplete 15 Ultimate Upgrade bundle, which propels the S88 MK3 into the command-post category. Synths, pianos, drums, brass, studio effects, mastering tools, expansions: nothing is forgotten. And given the wealth of sounds on offer, there's a good chance your next track will be a little more than just 'okay'.
With its high-end finish, numerous pedal inputs, USB-C power supply and compatibility with all the major sequencers, Native Instruments' Komplete Kontrol S88 MK3 ticks all the boxes of a modern master keyboard. It remains to be seen whether you'll ever go back to a model without a screen. Spoiler: unlikely.
