MADE TO BE TOUCHED

With the new generation of KOMPLETE KONTROL, music creation becomes a more intuitive and precise experience. Play expressively, explore sounds and listen to samples, adjust parameters, sketch out your ideas, then move around your project and mix it up. All this from a fully integrated central element, perfect for the studio and stage.

IMMERSIVE VISUAL INFORMATION

See everything you need, when you need it: two high-resolution color displays provide essential information about sounds and projects, backlit function buttons vary in color and intensity to indicate their status, and Light Guide LEDs mark the location of sounds, keyboard zones, modifier keys, scales and much more.

FIND YOUR SOUNDS EARLIER

Finding the right sound in a huge library can be difficult, if not tedious. Now you can find exactly what you are looking for among all KOMPLETE and Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) instruments thanks to a simple and intuitive tagging system, right from the device. Plus, you can hear an instant sample of each instrument preset as you explore them.

Do you need a hip hop kit? Select Drums > Urban Drum Kit > Sample-based, scroll through the presets and choose the perfect one for your song. If you really like the sound of it, bookmark it for instant access next time.

PREASSIGNED AND READY TO PLAY

All of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments and effects have been pre-mapped to the KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware by the people who know them best: the instrument designers themselves. Essential parameters, such as envelope controls and filter cutoff frequencies, are instantly loaded and presented on the two color displays, intuitively divided into pages. This means you can see exactly what you're adjusting in real time, whether it's a value in kHz, dB or BPM.

PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE

Don't stray from the current scale or mode by following the illuminated notes in the Light Guide. Activate chord mode to create a progression by playing individual keys, then activate the arpeggiator and turn that progression into an expressive musical performance. And if you're new to keyboards, Easy Mode assigns the white keys to the scale you like best so you never play a wrong note.

PRECISE CONTROL OF TONE, MODULATION AND EXPRESSION

Precisely control pitch and modulation with two ergonomic rubber-coated wheels. And the ultra-sensitive touch strip gives you a fun alternative to using a dedicated expression pedal.

IMMERSE INTO YOUR WORK PROCESS

Capture all your ideas right from the keyboard: KOMPLETE KONTROL gives you immediate access to transport, mixing and editing controls in Logic Pro screens integrated into the keyboard. And with the MIDI In / Out connection, it is very easy to incorporate external devices into your equipment.

Ableton Live 10 Lite comes included with the keyboard so you can start producing right out of the box. If you need a quick reference guide for using KOMPLETE KONTROL Mk2 keyboards in older DAWs, download the shortcut sheet in DAWs.

INTEGRATION FOR ALL YOUR INSTRUMENTS AND EFFECTS

NKS offers intuitive control of hundreds of instruments and effects from top developers, such as Heavyocity, Spitfire or Waves. This expanded plug-in format allows any developer to define how their products integrate with NI hardware, so support for powerful features like tag browsing, Light Guide interactivity, and pre-mapped controls are now available. is limited to the KOMPLETE universe.
