MK3: The New Benchmark in the Native Instruments Range
The direct successor to the MK2, the Kontrol S49 MK3 solidifies NI keyboards' place in modern studios. It introduces polyphonic aftertouch across the entire series and a high-resolution color display that streamlines NKS navigation. Available in 49, 61 (semi-weighted), and 88 keys with weighted action, the MK3 offers a consistent experience designed to get the best out of Kontakt 7 and Komplete Kontrol.Who Is It For and What Is It For?
Composers, beatmakers, sound designers, and live keyboardists will find a 49-key MIDI master keyboard that is responsive, powered via USB-C for a clean setup and minimal latency. The RGB Light Guide highlights playing zones, chords, and scales: ideal for learning, quick arranging, and live performance where readability and reliability are paramount.A Continuous Creative Flow, From Sound Design to Arrangement
Thanks to the NKS workflow, browse your presets by tags, preview instantly, then shape your sound via 8 touch-sensitive rotary encoders organized in pages. The 4D encoder speeds up list navigation, while the pitch and modulation wheels ensure expressive real-time playing. DAW integration (Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Bitwig, Digital Performer, Studio One) puts transport and key functions at your fingertips without leaving the keyboard.Notable MK3 Features
Compared to previous versions, this generation stands out with widespread polyphonic aftertouch, a sharper and more readable display, smoother tag-based navigation with preview in Komplete Kontrol/Kontakt 7, as well as modern bus-powered USB-C connectivity, complemented by MIDI DIN In/Out and three pedal inputs for extended control.Technical specifications

An excellent control keyboard, with very pleasant dynamics and well-thought-out ergonomics, which allows numerous combinations to be considered. For those who have the KOMPLETE (Ultimate) collection and want to explore as much as possible the richness of certain sampled sounds, especially pianos, the 49 keys instead complement a heavy 88 key keyboard, but for beats and electro, it's perfect.
Even if we regret the absence of a touch screen for a price that, without being dissuasive, is not accessible to all budgets, the customizable controls, the integration of DAWs (Cubase Pro 10.5) as well as the recognition of plug-ins from other editors in NKS format make this keyboard intuitive and easy to use.
Special mention for Native's online tutorials (on the site or via YouTube), sufficient for a quick start and almost instant use of the product.Automatically translated

I already knew which keyboard I wanted, and it met my expectations. First computer music purchase for me. It is easier for me to use it because a friend has the S88 version that I was able to familiarize myself with. It is a real pleasure of play and ergonomics.
A small concentrate of creativity with great potential, which can be completed by other VSTs and Plugins that will integrate perfectly. But before we get there, make way for the numerous tutorials, forums and blogs available with a great community.Automatically translated

Perfectly integrated into my Native Instrument environment. Combined with the Maschine Mikro and the Maschine DAW, you no longer need to look at the computer screen, everything is done from the hardware. A real pleasure!
