Native Instruments Launched Komplete Kontrol Mk2 – 17 Additional Function Buttons, Two Colours Screens & More

After the official announcement of the Maschine MK3, it’s now for the new Komplete Kontrol Mk2 keyboards by Native Instruments. The new versions will be available in a 49 /61 keys version and features 17 new additional functions buttons and two high-resolution colour screens. Also interesting is a new horizontal touch strip positioned near the pitch and mod wheels for additional expression. Nice further developments, really love the big screens but I have fear that these controllers are very big and take a lot space in the studio.

KOMPLETE KONTROL Mk2 extends the original keyboard’s workflow with 17 additional function buttons and two high-resolution color screens for browsing, previewing sounds, and more. And now – thanks to enhanced DAW and MASCHINE integration – it’s possible to mix, navigate, and edit projects directly from the hardware. The professional-grade Fatar keybeds and unique Light Guide are joined by new pitch and mod wheels, plus a horizontal touch strip for additional expression.
