Product Description
Responsive Playing and Creative Tools:
The A61 features a custom-engineered semi-weighted keybed, providing a professional and expressive response ideal for everything from piano arrangements to rapid synth leads. To enhance your creative process, it includes Smart Play technology: stay perfectly in key with over 100 different scales, play complex chord progressions with a single finger, or use the integrated arpeggiator to add rhythmic movement to your tracks.
Seamless Hands-On Control:
Equipped with the Native Kontrol Standard (NKS), the A61 automatically maps its eight touch-sensitive knobs to the most essential parameters of your instruments and effects. The informative OLED display ensures you always know exactly what you are tweaking in real-time. Additionally, a 4-directional push encoder allows for fast, one-handed browsing of your sound library, while dedicated transport controls give you direct command over your DAW’s play and record functions.

The Komplete Kontrol A61 is USB 2.0 bus-powered, requiring only a single cable for both data and power. It comes bundled with a comprehensive collection of software to get you started immediately, including Ableton Live Lite, MASCHINE Essentials, and premium virtual instruments like Monark, The Gentleman, and Reaktor Prism.
