With KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboards, like this S88 MK2 MIDI controller, music-making becomes a more intuitive, hands-on experience. Perform expressively, browse and preview sounds, tweak parameters, sketch your ideas, then navigate and mix your project—all from one fully integrated centerpiece for studio and stage. The S88 is the flagship model of the KOMPLETE S-SERIES, and with this MKII upgrade comes a host of new features that will improve your workflow, allowing you to focus more on your music. Just like the S49 and S61 MK2 versions, the S88 MK2 now features twin high-res color screens for browsing, tweaking, mixing and more. NI also introduced ergonomic pitch and mod wheels for the MKII design, while still incorporating the touchstrip for even more expressive control.

KOMPLETE KONTROL S88 MK2 combines an industry-leading 88-note weighted, hammer-action keybed with advanced control software to form a fully integrated studio centerpiece for producers, composers and performers alike. Get hands-on control of all your instruments and effects from one award-winning keyboard. See everything you need, when you need it, where you need it: The Clear View Display shows your instruments’ most important parameters right on the hardware, while the precision Light Guide pinpoints the location of sounds, key zones, switches, scales and more. 

All of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments and effects have been pre-mapped to the KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware by the people who know them best—the instrument designers themselves. All essential parameters load instantly and are displayed across the Clear View Display, intuitively divided into pages. That means you can see exactly what you’re adjusting in real time—whether it’s in kHz, dB or BPM. Stay-on key, with notes of the currently selected scale or mode lit on the Light Guide, or activate chord mode and create a rich progression by playing single keys. Then, switch on the built-in arpeggiator, and turn those single notes into an expressive musical performance. And if you’re new to the keys, Easy Mode maps all the white keys to whichever scale you like, so you’ll never hit a wrong note.
