Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 Keyboard Controller, 88-Key

No longer available at zZounds
You haven't used Komplete until you've used it with an NI controller. Light Guide technology and full VST loading create a MIDI experience like no other.

The Native Instruments KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES continues its evolution. The KOMPLETE KONTROL S88 adds an 88-key professional-grade, fully-weighted, hammer action keyboard to the S-SERIES family. Native Standard Kontrol (NKS) opens the KOMPLETE KONTROL system to all software instrument developers and establishes a standard in software/hardware integration. Advanced VST integration adds intelligent parameter mapping to plug-ins out of the box. Now, the entire spectrum of software instruments can come to life under your fingertips in a unique way -- more intuitive, expressive and inspirational than ever before.

NATIVE KONTROL STANDARD AND VST SUPPORT

Browse and load VST plug-ins straight from the keyboard, with instrument parameters auto-mapped to the control knobs, and full access to all Smart Play features. Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) is Native Instruments' easy-to-use, extendable instrument format that represents a major leap forward for deep plug-in integration. It allows KONTAKT and VST instrument developers to integrate their plug-ins with KOMPLETE KONTROL and MASCHINE hardware and software at the same deep level as KOMPLETE Instruments. This means third-party software instruments get full parameter mapping, and can take advantage of exclusive KOMPLETE KONTROL technology such as Light Guide. Many third-party developers are already implementing NKS technology into their instruments, and the list of partners is growing constantly.
