About Native Instruments Kontrol

Die Kontrol Reihe von Native Instruments besteht aus unterschiedlich großen MIDI-Keyboard-Controllern mit denen virtuelle Instrumente über die Komplete-Software auf dem PC oder Mac gesteuert werden können. Die Software schafft eine nahtlose Verbindung zwischen dem Keyboard und einer riesigen Bibliothek von Songs, Presets und Effekten.

Mit den Keyboard-Controllern der Kontrol Serie eröffnet sich dir eine völlig neue Welt der Musikproduktion: Sie dienen als Schaltzentrale zwischen deiner DAW und den zahlreichen virtuellen Instrumenten, die dir über die Software Kontrol zur Verfügung stehen. Direkt am Controller kannst du Sounds mixen, editieren und Presets erstellen. Die intuitive Bildschirmnavigation ermöglicht ein noch schnelleres und kreativeres Arbeiten und mit den Reglern lassen sich Sounds in Sekundenschnelle modellieren und an deine Wünsche anpassen. Durch die Integration der NKS-Technologie (Native Kontrol Standard) stehen dir zahlreiche Sounds und Plug-ins anderer Hersteller zur Verfügung, so dass du nicht nur eine unendliche Auswahl an Sounds hast, sondern auch während des Spielens nicht zwischen verschiedenen Plug-ins wechseln musst.

About Native Instruments

As with almost all large software companies, the story of Native Instruments began with just two people. On the one hand there was Stephan Schmitt, musician and engineer, and Volker Hinz, good friend and programmer. In Berlin Kreuzberg the two created the world's first modular synthesizer. The 'Generator' was a software based instrument and thrilled the audience at the Frankfurt Music Fair. Calculate and play sounds in real time - that was unique.

In the founding year of 1996, the development of new types of software instruments, such as Reaktor, began with just four employees. This all-round plugin has become an industry standard as a sequencer, sampler, synthesizer and effects device. Develop your own sounds? A dream for every sound tinkerer!
