Virtual instruments meet the real world
Kontrol brings the world’s best virtual instruments to life in a genuinely immersive experience. Whatever you’re playing, get in-depth control thanks to an unparalleled direct connection to Kontakt. Find sounds quickly with intuitive on-screen navigation, then adjust and play them with intelligent auto-mapping that understands the parameters.
The widest choice of quality sounds
Kontrol’s deep instrument integration is powered by a redesigned NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) technology. It’s our plugin standard that’s used across the industry so you can access thousands of premium instruments, effects, loops, and samples both NI and our partner developers like Arturia, Heavyocity, Korg, Output, Spitfire, and u-he. All precisely mapped to your keyboard controls.
Deeper into your DAW
Smooth integration with all major DAWs means you can keep your eyes on your keyboard and away from your computer screen. Hit record, stop, and rewind on the keys, mix and edit, and see all your project’s channels on the display.
Highly Visual
See switches, key zones, scales, and more lit up in front of you with the intelligent Light Guide. Chord Mode lets you create a progression by playing single keys, while Easy Mode maps the white keys to whichever scale you need.
