The Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S49 Mk2 49-Key Smart Keyboard Controller builds upon the success of the original with an updated user interface featuring two high-resolution displays and more buttons for faster direct control over parameters.

Made To Be Made

With the latest generation of Komplete Kontrol, music-making becomes a more intuitive, hands-on experience. Perform expressively, browse and preview sounds, tweak parameters, sketch your ideas, then navigate and mix your project, all from one fully integrated centerpiece for studio and stage.

More Visual

Two high-resolution color screens make it easy to browse and preview sounds, tweak controls, and mix and edit your projects right from the hardware.

More Intuitive

Get hands-on with your production process, thanks to an improved layout with more dedicated function buttons and a new four-directional push encoder.

More Expressive

The Komplete Kontrol S49 sports ergonomic pitch and mod wheels, plus a touch strip for expanded creative possibilities.

More Integration

Mix, edit, and more in MASCHINE, Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo, and GarageBand.

Immersive Visual Feedback

See everything you need, when you need it, where you need it: Two high-resolution color screens provide essential information on sounds and projects, backlit function buttons vary in color and intensity to indicate their state, and the precision Light Guide pinpoints the location of sounds, key zones, switches, scales, and more.

Find Your Sound Faster

Finding the right sound amongst a sprawling sound library can be difficult, not to mention time-consuming. Now you can find exactly what you’re looking for across all Komplete and Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) instruments using a simple, intuitive tagging system directly from the hardware. What’s more, you can hear an instant preview of each instrument preset as you browse.

Pre-Mapped and Ready To Play

Essential parameters like envelope controls and filter cutoffs load instantly and are displayed across the two color displays, intuitively divided into pages. That means you can see exactly what you’re adjusting in real-time or whether it’s in kHz, dB, or BPM.

Pro Performance

Stay-on key, with notes of the currently selected scale or mode, lit on the Light Guide. Activate chord mode to create a progression by playing single keys, then switch on the arpeggiator and turn it into an expressive musical performance. And for keyboard novices, Easy Mode maps the white keys to whichever scale you like, so you’ll never hit a wrong note.

Precision Pitch, Mod, and Expression

Get precise control of pitch and mod functions via two ergonomic, rubberized wheels. And the ultra-sensitive touch strip provides a fun, responsive alternative to plugging in a dedicated expression pedal.

Get Hands-On With Your Workflow

Capture all your ideas, directly from the keyboard itself: Komplete Kontrol gives you immediate access to transport, mixing, and editing controls in Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo, and GarageBand, complete with visual feedback and volume metering on the keyboard’s built-in displays. And with MIDI in / out, incorporating outboard gear into your setup is just as simple. Ableton Live 10 Lite is included with the keyboard, so you can start producing right out of the box.

Integration For All Your Instruments And Effects

NKS means intuitive control over hundreds of instruments and effects from leading manufacturers – including Heavyocity, Spitfire, and Waves.
