What is really important to me, though, is the feeling and quality of the keys.

Light Guide and Smart Play for assistance with scales, modes and chords.The deep integration with NI software is one of the reasons I am interested in the NI keyboard.

Smart keyboard controller for all your virtual instruments.

The main features of the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 include:

The Light Guide also combines with Smart Play enabling you to see scales and modes and play chord progessions with single keys or you can map any scale to the white keys only - this is perfect for DJs who know what sounds right but who do not have a deep understanding of music thoery. In addition to two high-resolution screens the S61 MK2 provides visual feedback using the Light Guide - a strip of RGB lihts that can highlight drum cells, key switches, chords, scales and more. Preset browsing is a breeze thanks to the tag based system - you'll be able to quickly find sounds and hear instant previews, giving you more time to focus on the creative process. The Komplete Kontrol S61MK2 has full VSTi supoport and is pre-mapped for control of NI's Komplete plug-in bundle - in addition to this there are hundreds of NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) instruments available from leading manufacturers. The ergonomic pitch and mod wheels combine with the touch strip for total expression control.

This fully integrated centerpiece is perfectly at home both on stage or in the studio - allowing you to perform expressively, tweak parameters and lay down your ideas quickly and easily.
