Bundled Item: Native Instruments Kontrol S61 Mk3 61-key Smart Keyboard Controller

Native Instruments Kontrol S61 Mk3 61-key Smart Keyboard Controller

Sells separately for $839.95

Since the inception of the Kontrol smart keyboard controllers, Native Instruments has embarked on an uncompromising odyssey to bridge the physical and digital divides, seamlessly integrating their cutting-edge NKS technology with nuanced, tactile control that makes any Virtual Instrument feel as real as possible. With the Kontrol S Mk3 controllers, they’ve elevated the series to new heights of expressivity, available in 49-, 61-, and 88-key options and loaded with cutting-edge Fatar keybeds developed in collaboration with Native Instruments to ensure that the highly detailed polyphonic aftertouch captures every nuance of your sound. While the S49 and S61 feature semi-weighted keys, the S88 boasts one of the world’s first widely available hammer-action polyphonic aftertouch controllers, blending worlds of sound, form, and function like never before. You also get NKS 2 (Native Kontrol Standard 2), which provides a level of software integration you can't find anywhere else. Producers and keyboardists at Sweetwater are amazed by this keyboard’s comprehensive control, not just for expanding the DAW integration of its predecessors to go far beyond simple transport controls, but for its future-minded design via MIDI 2.0 compatibility and USB-C MIDI.

Reviews

Phenomenal Keyboard, OUTSTANDING customer service
Do not listen to the 1 star review on here that says NI has horrible customer service. They are easily the BEST in terms of CS I have ever worked with! My KK61 Mk3 was shipped a month early before any firmware had officially released so it didn't work out of the gate for me. This made sense but I contacted CS regardless hoping I could get my hands on the beta software the YouTubers were using to pre-record reviews of the product. They denied that to me for good reason, the beta software was buggy to say the least, requiring entries into command prompt and more intense changes to the operating system. However, they noticed my serial number was part of a group of beta testing keyboards which were mistakenly shipped out when they were supposed to be scrapped. I was transferred directly to a high level employee in the company who explained my keyboard was not the version meant to be released at launch, and had a wiring issue that would cause the keyboard to crash within a year.

They promptly sent me a return label and shipped a newer model. In return for helping them uncover a major shipping issue, they sent me Komplete Ultimate Collectors Edition, iZotope Nectar, and the full suite of iZotope Ozone products. This is about $+ worth of software, they handed to me as a thank you. They didn't need to do that, they did it because they're awesome.

In use, this keyboard is STELLAR. Amazing keybed, absolutely the best knobs and dials I have ever felt on any keyboard, and the touch strip is wonderful. The new location for the touch strip (above the pitch and expression wheels rather than below) aids significantly in playability without accidentally touching the strip and altering parameters.

The large screen is gorgeous and feels luxurious. Browsing libraries and plugins has never been easier.

The Play Assist features are life-savers. I am not classically trained, but sessions in Nashville have been a breeze thanks to scale mode and the easy-to-use arpeggiator.

The polyphonic aftertouch takes some getting used to, but ultimately it is such a wonderful tool that no one else is offering right now.

They are making some very exciting updates to the firmware in the coming months, so it will only get better.

I highly recommend this keyboard. It is ahead of its time and will be a centerpiece in your studio for years to come.

Native Instruments Kontrol S Series MK3
The new Kontrol S Series MIDI keyboards are definitely an upgrade and feature a tight integration with Native Instruments libraries and plugins as well as 3rd party plugins with the new NKS2 format. But there's more of course. A new bigger display and polyphonic aftertouch are two of the big additions.

If you use Kontakt libraries this keyboard will enhance your workflow with easy navigation and integration to DAWs.

Native Does not care about Costumer Support!
I have The Komplete Kontrol MK2 so I can't technically speak to this product, but if you do but this remember that the support for this product is the worst support out of any company I've ever delt with. There is no calling or text chat online, its all over email and they won't even reply half the time. Seriously, They make Microsoft support seem amazing and it sucks because when my keyboard was working, it was great. It has been about 2 months since I sent in a support ticket and I have sent in 3 more since then. I know its hard to find IT support for your company but this is unacceptable.
