Native Instruments Kontrol S-Series S88 MK3 88-Note Controller Keyboard

Native Instruments Kontrol S-Series S88 MK3 88-Note Controller Keyboard is a premium MIDI controller designed for seamless creativity. Available in three sizes, it offers an intuitive connection to your instruments, effects, and DAW, with immersive navigation on a high-resolution display. Choose between 49 or 61 semi-weighted keys or the 88-key fully weighted hammer-action model, all featuring polyphonic aftertouch as standard.

Elevate your virtual instrument experience with deep Kontakt integration and next-generation NKS technology. Effortlessly browse sounds with intuitive on-screen navigation, then fine-tune and play them with intelligent auto-mapping that adapts to parameters instantly. This direct connection ensures a smooth workflow, whether using NI instruments or thousands of third-party sounds, instruments, and effects.

Enhance your expression—apply subtle pressure to individual keys for cutoff, pitch, vibrato, and more, eliminating the need for extra encoders or dials. Each model features an industry-leading keybed developed with Fatar, while the S88 is the first widely available controller to pair polyphonic aftertouch with weighted, hammer-action keys.

With seamless DAW integration, control recording, playback, mixing, and editing directly from the keyboard, with full project visibility on the display. Select from the S49 and S61 for semi-weighted keys or opt for the S88 for a full piano feel with hammer-action keys.

Stay fully connected with USB-C power and connectivity, MIDI in/out, and four assignable TRS pedal inputs, including dedicated sustain and expression pedals. All models feature premium construction, including a large glass display, touch-sensitive anodized aluminum encoders and mod wheels, and redesigned tactile buttons.

Jumpstart your production with Komplete 14 Select and Komplete Kontrol software, included from day one. This suite offers powerful synths, drums, percussion, studio-grade effects, and customizable sounds, while Komplete Kontrol organizes everything seamlessly. Get started with polyphonic aftertouch presets in Hypha, a Kontakt instrument inspired by nature, plus iZotope Elements Suite, Ableton Live Lite, Guitar Rig 7 LE, and more.
