Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A61 — Smart 61-Key MIDI Controller for KOMPLETE and NKS Workflows

The A61 is a 61-key MIDI keyboard controller built to put every KOMPLETE and NKS instrument at the player's fingertips. A custom NI semi-weighted keybed and tag-based preset browser let producers browse, preview, and load sounds without leaving the keyboard.

What Sets the A61 Apart in the Komplete Kontrol Lineup

A single USB 2.0 cable handles power, MIDI, and data, while NKS pre-mapping means hundreds of instruments load with essential parameters already assigned to the eight touch-sensitive control knobs. Smart Play adds over 100 scales, chord mode, and an arpeggiator.

Keybed, Knobs, and Wheels — Player-Facing Hardware
