With the KOMPLETE KONTROL A61 Essentials Bundle from Native Instruments, you have everything needed to take total control over your virtual instrument library. The centerpiece is the KOMPLETE KONTROL A61 keyboard—a streamlined controller that distills the core performance features into an affordable yet premium package. Its 61 semi-weighted keys provide the natural feel and response you need for nuanced playing. You also get essential controls like an informative OLED display, touch-sensitive knobs, pitch/mod wheels and a push encoder for effortless sound browsing and project navigation.

Seamless Software Integration

While streamlined in its hardware design, the A61 is tightly integrated with Native Instruments' KOMPLETE software for a fluid creative experience. Browse through your entire library of KOMPLETE instruments and effects using the intuitive, tag-based previews right from the keyboard. Sounds are organized by descriptive metadata like instrument type, genre and articulation—you can audition them on the fly and load them into your DAW with just a few taps. Tailor your workflow by mapping the knobs to essential parameters for tweaking sounds as you play.

Unlock Your Musical Creativity

Even if you're still learning music theory, the A61's Smart Play features empower you to craft inspired melodic ideas and progressions. Over 100 scales and modes are available at the touch of a button, instantly mapping the white keys to the notes within that scale—perfect for jamming over virtual synths and samplers. Single keys can trigger entire chords or arpeggios, allowing you to perform advanced voicings and patterns with ease. You can even map scales chromatically across the entire keybed for an intuitive layout that opens up new improvisational possibilities.

Play With Comfort and Control

The A61 is designed to provide an ergonomic, responsive playing experience that keeps you inspired for hours on end. Its semi-weighted keybed offers the ideal balance of sensitivity and resistance for dynamic performances. Dedicated pitch and mod wheels are positioned within easy reach, allowing you to add expressive flair to your virtual instruments. And the centralized 4-way push encoder, combined with the OLED display, makes menu navigation and parameter tweaking a breeze.

Everything You Need Right Out of the Box

This essential bundle supplies you with the key accessories to start playing right away. The included sustain pedal provides the all-important foot control for virtual pianos and synthesizers. A deluxe padded keyboard bench ensures proper playing posture with its double-braced, height-adjustable design. And the heavy-duty X-style stand raises the A61 to a comfortable level whether you're sitting or standing. With this bundle, you'll have a complete mobile rig ready to spark your creativity whenever inspiration strikes.
