Native Instruments Kontrol S88 Mk3 Controller Keyboard Overview


With the Native Instruments Kontrol S88 Mk3, you’re not just acquiring a MIDI keyboard; you’re embracing a game-changing creative tool. This pivotal piece of live and studio equipment is designed for the modern producer, composer, and musician who wants full expressive control over their hardware and virtual instruments.

Bringing together the realms of virtual instruments and tactile reality, the Native Instruments Kontrol S88 Mk3 sets the bar for intelligent MIDI keyboard controllers. Seamlessly merging with Kontakt, it showcases an impressive high-definition screen, streamlining your workflow and optimising your creativity.

Ultimate Expressive Control: Polyphonic Aftertouch

A highlight of this latest generation of Kontrol keyboards is polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike mono or channel aftertouch, polyphonic aftertouch lets you add expression to individual notes. For example, you can assign polyphonic aftertouch to the filter cutoff or LFO amount of a virtual synthesizer. When you hold down a chord, you can add or decrease the cutoff or LFO amount on a per-note basis, letting you introduce vibrato or more brightness to certain notes. Once you’ve experienced poly aftertouch, you won’t go back.

With every touch and note, each individual key responds. It allows for intricate control over parameters like pitch, vibrato, cutoff and more - all from the way you play the keys. Developed meticulously with Fatar, the Kontrol S88 Mk3 boasts an industry-acclaimed keybed, assuring an exceptional polyphonic aftertouch experience where each note you play has an extra level of articulation.

The Kontrol S88 Mk3 is the first widely available MIDI controller with a fully-weighted polyphonic aftertouch keyboard, making it a pioneer in the world of MIDI keyboards.

Virtual Integration: Beyond the Basics

Elevate your interactivity with your virtual instruments. The advanced NKS technology empowers you with deep control and direct integration, bridging the gap between the tactile and digital. With its high-resolution full-colour screen, you can browse, tweak, and mix with ease, making those sounds and effects more accessible and vibrant than ever.

A Fresh Take on Design and Functionality

Meticulously crafted, the Kontrol S88 Mk3 sports a modern aesthetic with robust metal and glass components, reflecting dedication to quality and durability for live performance. Its intuitive light guide has been redesigned to keep you in tune, highlighting sounds, key zones, scales, and switches. Other features include anodized aluminium knobs, and versatile pitch and modulation wheels.

Extensive Compatibility and Connectivity

Whether it’s USB MIDI, USB-C bus power, or additional pedal inputs you’re after, the Kontrol S88 Mk3 has you covered. Integration with major DAWs ensures you’re not confined to basic transport controls, making it a valuable tool for any studio setup.

Software Inclusion to Kickstart Creation

The package is enriched with a selection of software to get you started. From the iconic tones of Stradivari Cello to the versatile capabilities of Elements Suite and Komplete Kontrol Software, you're ready to enhance your music productions and compositions right out of the box.

This keyboard plays as well as any piano. The screens are bright and the controls are responsive.
