DIRECT CONTROL OF YOUR MUSIC

Creating music is wonderful when it's done quickly, fun, and tactile. Find the right sound, adapt it, play it and capture the results; all from an expressive semi-weighted keyboard. A-Series keyboards include four professional instruments and MASCHINE Essentials – everything you need to bring your ideas to life.

FIND YOUR SOUNDS EARLIER

With hundreds of presets to choose from, finding the right one can be a pain in the ass. But using KOMPLETE KONTROL, all your KOMPLETE and NKS presets are intuitively labeled and organized, so finding the perfect one is quick and easy. Plus, you can hear an example of each sound as you explore them, without having to load each instrument. 

Do you need a super hard bass? Use the encoder wheels and OLED screen to select SYNTH > BASS > SUB BASS, and listen to the presets. When you find one that works well for your song, you load it and that's it. 

PREASSIGNED AND READY TO PLAY

All of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments and effects have been pre-mapped to the KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware by those who know them best: the instrument designers themselves. Essential parameters such as envelope controls and filter cuts are instantly presented on the OLED screen by touching the corresponding wheel. This means you can see exactly what you're adjusting in real time, whether it's a value in kHz, dB or BPM.
