Native Instruments COMPLETE CONTROL KEYBOARD S49 MK2

The new Control S-Series Keyboards from Native Instruments transform the complete packages' virtual instruments into a physical instrument with a completely unique performance control.

The semi-weighted keyboards with aftertouch are available with 49 or 61 keys.

With the new Unified Browsing system, you can browse and choose from all sounds from all Complete instruments in a simple and clear plug-in. You can search for instruments using musical "tags" and keywords.

Native Map technology ensures that you never have to worry about mapping a parameter from an instrument to a specific button again. All Complete Instruments are pre-mapped by Native Instruments' own sound designers. All essential parameters and values ​​automatically appear in the Clear View display and are grouped into logical pages. You see the features you edit directly on the hardware, whether it's EQ in kHz or the exact frequency of a filter cutoff.

Use the color system in Light Guide ™ to see drum maps, key switches, scales etc. In scale mode, the keys are illuminated in the desired scale with a little extra brightness on the fundamental tone. In chord or arpeggiator mode, all trigger tones are illuminated when you press a key, so you can always see exactly what's going on.

The 2 ultrasensitive touch strips are not only for the usual pitch and against wheel functions, but can be used in countless other creative ways.
The arpeggiator can transform a single note into an entire musical perfomance directly from the hardware and independently of the selected instrument. The 8 controller potmeters can control parameters such as direction, speed, rhythm, patterns and variations.

Complete Control MK2 keyboards also have advanced features to control 3rd party instruments via Midi with the included Controller Editor software. You can adjust touch strip settings, program keyboard splits with visual feedback from Light Guide, and create your own templates and setups. If you use both Complete and 3rd party instruments in one session, the Control keyboard automatically switches between Midi mode and Complete Control when you select a track.
