Perform expressively, browse and preview sounds, tweak parameters, sketch your ideas, then navigate and mix your project - all from one fully integrated MIDI keyboard controller.
The Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2 now features two high-res color screens for browsing, tweaking, mixing and more. Ergonomic pitch and mod wheels and a touch strip below for assignable expression control provide excellent playing versatility.

Komplete Kontrol Software allows you to control Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) and VST effects directly from Komplete Kontrol keyboards and software providing full integration with the Native Browser and intelligent parameter mapping. Notably, the Smart Play feature allows you to stay in key with over 100 scales and modes, play chord progressions and arpeggios with single keys, or map any scale to white keys only.

The controller also offers instant intuitive control over popular DAWs Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, and Garageband at launch. Cubase and Nuendo integration will be available very soon.
