Product Overview
Unparalleled Expression and Integration
The S61 MK3 represents the pinnacle of MIDI controller technology. It bridges the gap between software and hardware by bringing your virtual instruments directly to your fingertips. With its sleek industrial design and premium materials, it is built for artists who demand a professional playing feel combined with a modern, screen-focused workflow that minimizes the need to look at a computer.
Product Description
Next-Level Polyphonic Aftertouch:
The standout feature of the S61 MK3 is its advanced polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike standard aftertouch, this allows you to control parameters for each individual note independently just by varying pressure. Combined with the industry-standard semi-weighted Fatar keybed, it enables an incredible level of expression—perfect for realistic orchestral swells, evolving synth textures, and dynamic melodic performances.
Immersive High-Res Glass Display:
The MK3 features a stunning, large color screen with a protective glass surface. This interface provides crystal-clear visual feedback for browsing sounds, editing parameters, and mixing. Thanks to the Native Kontrol Standard (NKS 2.0), all compatible plugins are automatically mapped to the keyboard’s eight CNC-machined aluminum knobs, allowing you to tweak your sound with a high-end, tactile feel.
Intuitive Light Guide and Connectivity:
The iconic Light Guide has been redesigned to provide even better visual cues. It highlights scales, keys, and zones directly above the keys, keeping you perfectly in tune and helping you navigate complex instrument layouts. The unit is now USB-C bus-powered for a cleaner setup and features expanded pedal connectivity, including four TRS inputs for sustain, expression, and assignable controls, making it a versatile hub for any studio.
