    Native Instruments releases KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboards, and the
    next generation of KOMPLETE Instrument and Effect suites

    Berlin, October 1, 2014 – Native Instruments today released the KOMPLETE
    KONTROL S-Series keyboards, and the latest generation of KOMPLETE and
    KOMPLETE ULTIMATE software bundles. The S-Series keyboards and
    accompanying KOMPLETE KONTROL software unite all KOMPLETE Instruments
    under a single, unified playing experience. KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series
    debuts several industry innovations never before available in a hardware
    controller. The release also welcomes the next generation of Native
    Instruments’ acclaimed KOMPLETE Instruments and Effects suites,
    including six brand-new instruments, as well as several new additions.
    The prices of these bundles remain the same, increasing the saving to
    almost 90% over the cost of the instruments and effects when bought
    separately. KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboards, KOMPLETE 10, and
    KOMPLETE 10 ULTIMATE are available now in stores and at the NI Online Shop.

    The KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboards were designed to deliver the
    tightest integration yet with the entire KOMPLETE Instrument portfolio
    thanks to the KOMPLETE KONTROL software – included with purchase of
    KOMPLETE 10 and KOMPLETE 10 ULTIMATE. The all-new KOMPLETE Browser™
    delivers a tag-based system to access all KOMPLETE Instrument presets
    from one plug-in interface. Native Map™ technology saves producers time
    and accelerates workflow by automatically mapping key KOMPLETE
    Instrument parameters to the touch-sensitive controller knobs. The
    keyboards’ Clear View display provides a clear overview of all tweaks
    directly on the hardware. Light Guide™ shows key switches, zones, and
    more on multi-color LEDs positioned just above the keys. KOMPLETE
    KONTROL keyboards feature premium Fatar keybeds and are available in a
    choice of 25, 49, and 61 keys.

    KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboards also deliver powerful Smart Play™
    features. Scales, chords, and arpeggios light up across the keyboard as
    they are played. Chord mode maps chords onto single keys across octaves
    on the keyboard, allowing users to add rich harmonic progressions to
    their tracks quickly and easily. The integrated scale mapping features
    deliver fast access to new melodic possibilities – virtually any musical
    scale can also be mapped to the white keys so melodies are easy to play
    and always in tune. Notes of the currently selected scale light up on
    the Light Guide™ for optimum visibility. An arpeggiator works seamlessly
    with every KOMPLETE Instrument directly from the hardware. The
    ultra-sensitive Touch Kontrol™ can mimic the behavior of pitch and mod
    wheels, and physical objects like springs and bouncing balls for
    interesting modulation curves – far beyond what conventional mod wheels
    are capable of.

    The release of KOMPLETE 10 and KOMPLETE 10 ULTIMATE sees the release of
    six brand-new KOMPLETE Instruments. ROUNDS, KONTOUR, and POLYPLEX are
    three new REAKTOR-based instruments designed to take full advantage of
    the advanced features of the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboards. THE
    DEFINITIVE PIANO COLLECTION presents three new acoustic pianos – THE
    GRANDEUR, THE MAVERICK, and THE GENTLEMAN – sampled in unprecedented
    detail, delivering a varied and nuanced sonic range. Along with these
    new instruments, each bundle comes with several new additions since
    KOMPLETE 9 was released. KOMPLETE 10 now features 39 products, over
    12,000 sounds, and over 130 GB of instruments and effects, including
    DRUM LAB, SESSION HORNS, and SUPERCHARGER. KOMPLETE 10 ULTIMATE delivers
    75 products, over 17,000 sounds, and over 440 GB of instruments and
    effects, such as ACTION STRIKES, MOLEKULAR, and RISE & HIT - all stored
    on a USB hard drive for convenient installation.

    Registered users of KOMPLETE 9 and KOMPLETE 9 ULTIMATE will receive a
    free download for the KOMPLETE KONTROL software, giving them the same
    functionality on KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboards as KOMPLETE 10 and
    KOMPLETE 10 ULTIMATE users.
