Features
  • Virtual instruments meet the real world: Kontrol brings the world’s best virtual instruments to life in a genuinely immersive experience. Whatever you’re playing, get in-depth control thanks to an unparalleled direct connection to Kontakt. Find sounds quickly with intuitive on-screen navigation, then adjust and play them with intelligent auto-mapping that understands the parameters.

  • Bring your DAW plugins to life: Control parameters and navigate effects chains with your favorite DAW plugins from Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Bitwig Studio, and Digital Performer. Go even deeper with custom macros for controlling your own effects chains, instrument switching, and lots more.

  • Deeper into your DAW: Smooth integration with all major DAWs means you can keep your eyes on your keyboard and away from your computer screen. Hit record, stop, and rewind on the keys, mix and edit, and see all your project’s channels on the display.

  • Built to last: All three models are built from the same premium materials with a large glass screen, touch-sensitive anodised aluminum encoders and modwheels, and redesigned tactile buttons.

Why We Love This
  • Full-weighted keybed brings real piano expressiveness, without losing nuance for softer synth/organ patches.

  • Kontakt integration is a game changer — browsing and patch changes are faster directly on the hardware.

  • Polyphonic aftertouch is powerful, but many feel it’s over-sensitive out of the box and needs adjustment.

  • Great build, great screen, but some say software / firmware at launch had glitches; also the price is steep unless you really use the NI / NKS ecosystem.
