Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S25

COMPACT, YET POWERFUL

KOMPLETE KONTROL S25 is a small keyboard, packed full of big ideas: It combines a best-in-class keybed with advanced control software and vivid visual feedback to form a compact centerpiece for any studio setup. Get hands-on control of all your instruments and effects from one award-winning keyboard.

FIND YOUR SOUNDS FASTER

Finding the right sound amongst a sprawling sound library can be difficult, not to mention time consuming. Now you can find exactly what you’re looking for across all KOMPLETE and Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) instruments using a simple, intuitive tagging system – directly from the hardware. What’s more, you can hear an instant preview of each instrument preset as you browse.

Need a hip hop kit? Select Drums > Urban Drum Kit > Sample-based, scroll through the presets and pick the right one for your track. And if you really like what you hear, just tag it as a Favorite for instant access next time.

PRE-MAPPED 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. All essential parameters load instantly and are displayed across the Clear View Display, intuitively divided into pages. That means you can see exactly what you’re adjusting in real time – whether it’s in kHz, dB, or BPM.

PERFORM LIKE A PRO

Enhance your performance with a world of melody and harmony: The Light Guide keeps you on key by lighting notes of the currently selected scale or mode, or activate Chord Mode and create a rich progression by playing single keys. Switch on the built-in arpeggiator, to turn those single notes into an expressive musical performance. And for keyboard novices, Easy Mode maps all the white keys to whichever scale you like, so you’ll never hit a wrong note.

PITCH, MOD, AND MORE

Deliver dynamic performances with two ultra-sensitive touch strips. They behave like standard pitch and mod wheels, or mimic physical objects like springs and bouncing balls for interesting modulation curves. And by using different stepped settings, glitchy-sounding instant shifts become possible.

GET INSTANT VISUAL FEEDBACK

See everything you need, when you need it, where you need it: The Clear View Display shows your instruments’ most important parameters right on the hardware, while the precision Light Guide pinpoints the location of sounds, key zones, switches, scales, and more

INTEGRATION FOR ALL YOUR INSTRUMENTS AND EFFECTS

NKS means intuitive control over hundreds of instruments and effects from leading manufacturers – including Heavyocity, Spitfire and Waves. This extended plug-in format allows all developers to define the way their products integrate with NI hardware, so support for powerful features like tag-based browsing, Light Guide feedback, and pre-mapped controls now extends far beyond the KOMPLETE universe. And for plug-ins that haven’t yet been updated to NKS, it’s fast and easy to load the VST in KOMPLETE KONTROL and create your own custom mapping.
