Description
The Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A49 MIDI Keyboard & Controller is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.
Native Instruments stepped up their game with the Komplete Kontrol keyboards a few years back. Offering unprecedented integration with Komplete software, an intuitive backlit interface and endless performance and production tools, they were an instant hit.
Now for 2018, they've unveiled a new range of affordable keyboards that promise in-depth integration and ease-of-use for a fraction of the cost. The Komplete Kontrol A-Series keyboards come in three sizes, with slick black exteriors and a typically minimalist interface that conceals a wealth of controls – all for less than £200!
Komplete Integration
As with their flagship Kontrol S-Series keyboards released a few years back, the A-series promises in-depth integration with Komplete software. Not only does it come with selected Komplete products (Maschine Essentials, The Gentleman piano, Reaktor Prism and Monark to name a few), but it works with Komplete on every level, whatever version you have.
This means pre-mapped, dynamic controls and parameters, an OLED display with info on your presets and project, smart play for easy scales, chords and arpeggios and much, much more!
Intuitive, Interactive
The interface has been kept deliberately simple; Native Instruments have a knack for combining simplicity with versatility. A straightforward selection of controls allows full and uninterrupted interaction with your music, whether you're performing, producing or practicing.
Tag-based browsing allows easy switching from patch to patch, and the smart-play function (as seen in the S-series Kontrol keyboards) offers a responsive and intuitive playing experience. Choose key, pattern, chord tonality and let the creativity flow!
