Native Instruments Kontrol A61 61-key Keyboard Controller

Music creation becomes effortless when you have the right tools at your fingertips, and the A-Series keyboards provide exactly that with their responsive semi-weighted keys and comprehensive software package. These keyboards come complete with four premium instruments plus MASCHINE Essentials, giving you everything needed to bring musical ideas to life. The best-in-class custom NI keybed offers the perfect balance of playability and control, making it ideal for both studio work and live performance.

Finding the perfect sound is no longer a time-consuming task thanks to Komplete Kontrol's intelligent organisation system. With hundreds of presets intuitively tagged and categorised, you can quickly navigate to exactly what you need - from SYNTH > BASS > SUB BASS selections to any other sonic territory. The preview function lets you audition sounds without loading individual instruments, while all KOMPLETE and NKS instruments come pre-mapped by their original designers for seamless hardware integration.

Smart Play technology ensures your performances always sound musical, allowing you to select scales and play confidently without wrong notes. Chord mode creates rich progressions from single key presses, while the arpeggiator adds expressive movement to your parts. Easy Mode simplifies things further for beginners by mapping white keys to your chosen scale. The 8 touch-sensitive control knobs work alongside an informative OLED display, showing real-time parameter values in kHz, dB, or BPM as you adjust them.

Integration with major DAWs including Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo, and GarageBand is immediate, with direct access to transport, mixing, and editing controls. The keyboard is USB 2.0 bus powered for simple setup, features ergonomic pitch and mod wheels, and includes a TRS pedal input assignable to sustain or expression. Along with the included software bundle featuring Monark, The Gentleman, Reaktor Prism, Scarbee Mark I, and Ableton Live Lite, you have a complete music production solution ready to go.
