The keyboard features modulation and pitch wheel with a new touch strip for even wider modulation possibilities. A four-sided encoder has also been added, making it easy to navigate through your sound library or directly within individual tracks of your project. There are eight knobs for parameter control and performance buttons with quick access to functions like undo, redo, quantize, loop and more.
Visual feedback is provided by two displays that clearly and graphically show everything that's going on in the software. In addition, the visual system is complemented by color-coded light navigation directly behind the keyboard, so you always have a perfect overview of the position of individual sounds, zones, scales and more.
But the most powerful weapon the Kontrol S61 gives you for battling in the field of modern music production is the bundled software.
Komplete Kontrol allows for sophisticated integration between the controller and all Komplete instruments, as well as over 300 other Native Kontrol Standard instruments from other manufacturers. Of course, there's easy mapping and tagging capabilities, so you'll always find your presets easily.
The Komplete Select music library then contains 17 products, including monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers based on legendary instruments or designed for contemporary production. In addition, you can enrich your tracks with the sound of acoustic pianos, vintage electric pianos, organs, drums or exotic percussion. You can then fine-tune the final look of your mix with a compressor or delay effect.
