An intelligent keyboard controller in three size options, designed to be at the core of any studio.
A revolutionary keyboard controller that puts the world’s best sound library at your fingertips. Get direct, hands-on control of virtual instruments from NI and thousands more from developers like Arturia, Heavyocity, Korg, Output, Spitfire Audio, and u-he.
Browse and tweak everything from synths and drums to orchestral libraries and scoring tools – all seamlessly integrated with Kontrol's tactile controls and large, high-res screen. Then play with a new level of expression and freedom thanks to a best-in-class keybed, polyphonic aftertouch, Light Guide, and Play Assist features. And with a comprehensive package of included software, featuring the industry-leading sampling platform Kontakt 7, you’ll be ready to go from day one.
NKS 2
NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) is NI’s technical standard for virtual instruments and effects. It’s used across the industry and ensures that all compatible plugins are precisely mapped to controls. Kontrol marks the launch of NKS 2, which powers the unmatched software integration experience.

- Unified Plugin Control – Direct, hands-on control of any 3rd-party instrument in your DAW, extending beyond NKS to work with every plugin in your session
- Standalone Mode – Control hardware synths, drum machines, and MIDI devices directly without a computer, using customizable MIDI templates and simultaneous USB/DIN MIDI routing
- Extended DAW Integration – Enhanced control with plugin chain navigation, parameter paging, mixer views, track color sync, and bi-directional tempo sync across all major DAWs

The master keyboard has very good features, such as Polyaftertouch. However, setting it up with the software is a hassle. To use it correctly, you need to install several apps. But don't forget to actually make music, despite the many setup options and additional free software libraries. The Komplete Kontrol software unfortunately crashed several times within 4 days, and the settings were lost each time I reopened it – which was strange and inexplicable… The good thing is that you can also use the keyboard as a master keyboard if you only install the driver. However, I have a mixed feeling about this aspect.
