Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A49

Description

The Essentials to Know About the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A49 MIDI Master Keyboard



  • 49 semi-weighted responsive keys for natural play, controlled by a 4D encoder, 8 touch-sensitive knobs, and a clear OLED display.

  • Ultra-fast navigation through your presets thanks to Komplete Kontrol and the NKS standard: everything is tagged, pre-listenable, and pre-assigned.

  • Smart Play with scales, chords, Easy mode, and arpeggiator to create without mistakes and spark inspiration.

  • Direct integration with your DAW and the MASCHINE ecosystem, plus the Komplete 15 Select software bundle to start producing immediately.



At the Heart of the Native Instruments Ecosystem and the NKS Standard


Designed as the ideal gateway into the Komplete universe, the A49 carries the DNA of Komplete Kontrol keyboards and focuses on the essentials: deep control of NI instruments and NKS-compatible plugins, mappings created by the developers themselves, and tag-based navigation that speeds up every step, from sound search to studio automation.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?


Versatile and compact, the Komplete Kontrol A49 is aimed at beatmakers, producers, composers, and content creators who want a reliable USB keyboard to compose, record, and mix without detours. Whether in a home studio or on the go, it offers a smooth workflow to lay down ideas, shape textures, and control your instruments and effects with precision.

Deep Control, Fast Navigation, and Expressive Play



Smart Navigation and Pre-Assignments


All your Komplete/NKS instruments and effects come pre-mapped to the 8 touch knobs. Key parameters display in real time on the OLED screen, with clear units (kHz, dB, BPM) for precise adjustments during recording. Browse and preview presets without loading the instrument, then lock your favorites to save time during sessions.

Instant Harmonic Creation


With Smart Play, choose a scale, activate Chord mode to generate chord progressions from a single key, then launch the arpeggiator to turn an idea into an inspiring rhythmic pattern. Easy mode remaps the white keys to the chosen key, ideal for exploring without constraints.

DAW and MASCHINE Integration


Transport, mixing, and editing functions are at your fingertips in major compatible DAWs. The hardware/software integration with MASCHINE further streamlines the "sound search - play - record - arrange" sequence, for a coherent workflow from the first take to the final bounce.

A great keyboard for composing with Native Instrument products. Ergonomic keys, easy to handle (for those who already have Maschine you won't be lost). Aftertouch and wheel. Seems solid. Between Maschine and the keyboard it's like night and day for composing. Enjoy ethereal pads over several octaves in one take.

Unbeatable value for money, very good keyboard for amateur composing with countless creative possibilities; the touch is obviously not that of a piano but remains acceptable for this type of product and given the budget, you should not hesitate.

The product after use is frankly great, plug and play with Pro a bit long to install with the plug-ins that come with it, frankly nothing to say. Native Instruments is good stuff

The top, it was already wrapped in a protective film against rain. Then from the box to the instrument everything is perfect! Top notch.
