Description
Thousands of instruments made real
Virtual instruments are brought to life in a genuinely immersive experience. Whatever you’re playing, get in-depth control and integration through advanced NKS technology. Find sounds quickly with intuitive on-screen navigation. Then fluidly adjust and play them thanks to intelligent auto-mapping. This unparalleled direct connection means you can play completely real-feeling Kontakt instruments, plus thousands of partner sounds, instruments, and effects, with no interruptions to your workflow.
Polyphonic aftertouch
Take expression one-step further and instinctively control parameters with the slightest pressure on each individual key. Modulate cutoff, pitch, vibrato, and much more without reaching for an extra control. All three models have an industry-leading keybed, developed in collaboration with Fatar to deliver the best possible polyphonic aftertouch experience.
Browse and tweak everything from synths and drums to orchestral libraries and scoring tools – all seamlessly integrated with Kontrol's tactile controls and large, high-res screen. Then play with a new level of expression and freedom thanks to a best-in-class keybed, polyphonic aftertouch, Light Guide, and Play Assist features. And with a comprehensive package of included software, featuring the industry-leading sampling platform Kontakt 7, you’ll be ready to go from day one.
NKS 2
NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) is NI’s technical standard for virtual instruments and effects. It’s used across the industry and ensures that all compatible plugins are precisely mapped to controls. Kontrol marks the launch of NKS 2, which powers the unmatched software integration experience.
