Native Instruments Kontrol S-Series MK3 – Premium MIDI Keyboard Controller
The Kontrol S-Series MK3 is the ultimate MIDI keyboard controller, blending top-tier technology with intuitive design to elevate your creative process. Equipped with polyphonic aftertouch, a high-resolution color screen, and seamless integration with industry-leading software, the S-Series MK3 transforms how you interact with virtual instruments, effects, and your DAW. Available in 49, 61, and 88 key options, this controller offers the perfect fit for any setup, delivering unmatched playability and performance.
Take your playing to the next level with polyphonic aftertouch on all three models. This innovative feature lets you apply expression to individual notes, adding depth and nuance to your performance. Whether you’re adjusting cutoff, pitch, vibrato, or more, polyphonic aftertouch lets you control your sound with incredible precision, without reaching for an extra knob or encoder.
The S88 takes this feature even further as the world’s first widely available hammer-action polyphonic aftertouch keyboard, offering the feel of a grand piano with the expressive power of polyphonic aftertouch.
Stay in the flow with tight integration across all major DAWs, allowing you to control your project with minimal distraction. With smart play features and full DAW control, you can record, mix, edit, and navigate through your tracks with ease. The high-res color screen displays all your key information, while the Light Guide highlights key zones, chords, and scales in real-time. Everything you need is at your fingertips, keeping you focused on the music.
The Kontrol S-Series MK3 integrates seamlessly with Native Instruments’ Komplete Kontrol and Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) technology, allowing you to browse, tweak, and control a vast array of virtual instruments and effects. Whether you're using Traktor, Massive X, or third-party plugins from Arturia, Spitfire, Korg, and others, the NKS technology ensures intuitive, on-screen navigation and intelligent auto-mapping.
The Kontrol S-Series MK3 comes in three models to suit your playing style:
S49: 49 semi-weighted keys for a more compact setup
S61: 61 semi-weighted keys for a larger range
S88: 88 fully weighted hammer-action keys for a true piano feel, with polyphonic aftertouch
Each model is built with a premium Fatar keybed, ensuring a high-quality playing experience and providing the perfect balance between precision and expression.
With Kontrol S-Series MK3, every key becomes a visual tool. The Light Guide uses RGB lighting to display important information such as chords, scales, and key switches. Whether you’re creating progressions, playing arpeggios, or adjusting parameters, the Light Guide ensures you have real-time visual feedback, making it easier to stay focused on your performance.
Take advantage of Smart Play to simplify your creative process. Play entire chords with one key, map scales to white keys only, or play through predefined arpeggios. With the Light Guide, you can easily see scales and modes, empowering you to play complex progressions effortlessly.
Crafted from CNC-machined anodized aluminum, the Kontrol S-Series MK3 is built to last. Featuring a high-resolution 1280 x 480 glass display, RGB pitch and mod wheels, and tactile touch-sensitive controls, this keyboard is designed for durability and precision. The bead-blasted aluminum encoders and button-islands ensure long-lasting performance, making it the perfect addition to any professional studio setup.
