FIND YOUR SOUNDS FASTER:
With hundreds of presets to choose from, finding the right sound can be a pain. With KOMPLETE KONTROL, however, all of your KOMPLETE and NKS presets are intuitively tagged and organised, so finding the right one is fast and easy. What’s more, you can hear a preview of each sound as you search, without loading individual instruments. Need some serious low end? Use the encoders and OLED display to select SYNTH > BASS > SUB BASS, then listen through the presets and load up the right one for your track.
PERFORM CREATIVELY:
With Smart Play, you never need to worry about hitting a wrong note – just pick a scale and play. Activate chord mode to create a rich progression by playing single keys, then switch on the arpeggiator and turn it into an expressive musical performance. And for keyboard novices, Easy Mode maps the white keys to whichever scale you like.

Great keyboard - action a bit stiff, and needs proper Cubase support though

Excellent product, build-wise and playability; only problem that pressing the 4D encoder does nothing. GAK collected and tested the item and found no physical fault. It was concluded that this is a software incompatibility with my M1 Silicon Mac. Hopefully NI will update the software sometime. Otherwise the keyboard is still entirely usable. I just have to use the computer mouse to perform the selection function that would be provided by the encoder.

Excellent product for the price. This model lacks some of the high-end features of the S-Series, but is a really good value alternative.

Probably the best action on a keyboard at this price. Controls are good.
