Experience the future of MIDI control with Kontrol's revolutionary polyphonic aftertouch technology that transforms every key into an expressive instrument. Available in three configurations�49 or 61 semi-weighted keys, or 88 fully weighted hammer-action keys�each model delivers unprecedented tactile response through industry-leading Fatar keybeds. The S88 stands as the world's first widely available controller to combine polyphonic aftertouch with weighted hammer-action keys, setting a new benchmark for professional performance.
Deep integration with Kontakt and next-generation NKS technology creates an immersive connection between you and your virtual instruments. The high-resolution colour screen provides intuitive navigation through thousands of sounds, while intelligent auto-mapping eliminates workflow interruptions by understanding parameter structures across NI instruments and partner libraries. Polyphonic aftertouch adds layers of expression through individual key pressure, controlling cutoff, pitch, vibrato and more without reaching for additional controls.
Professional connectivity options include USB-C power and data transfer, traditional MIDI in/out, and four assignable TRS pedal inputs with dedicated sustain and expression defaults. The premium build quality features CNC-machined anodised aluminium construction, touch-sensitive encoders, RGB-illuminated pitch and mod wheels, and redesigned tactile button islands that form a continuous dustproof control surface.
Complete software integration includes Komplete 14 Select production suite, Komplete Kontrol organisation software, and polyphonic aftertouch presets in Hypha. Additional bundled software comprises iZotope Elements Suite, Ableton Live Lite, and Guitar Rig 7 LE, ensuring you're equipped for immediate creative output across all major DAW platforms.
