The Definitive Weighted Controller
The S88 MK3 is the flagship of the Kontrol S-Series, offering a full-sized, professional playing experience.

Product Description
Professional Hammer-Action & Polyphonic Aftertouch:
The core of the S88 MK3 is its world-renowned Fatar weighted keybed. This hardware allows for a highly nuanced performance, capturing every detail of your touch. With the addition of polyphonic aftertouch, you can modulate individual notes independently just by applying pressure, giving you unprecedented control over cinematic strings, synth textures, and expressive acoustic instruments.
Vivid Visual Workflow:
Everything you need to stay in the creative zone is displayed on the large, high-resolution color glass screen. From browsing through thousands of sounds to editing parameters and mixing your tracks, the interface is designed to keep your eyes off the computer. The Direct Connection technology ensures that your software instruments are mapped instantly to the eight touch-sensitive aluminum knobs, providing a premium tactile experience.
Redesigned Light Guide and Connectivity:
The signature Light Guide returns with enhanced visibility, using intelligent LEDs to highlight scales, key zones, and switches. For modern studios, the S88 MK3 is USB-C bus-powered and includes expanded connectivity with four TRS pedal inputs, allowing for complex expressive setups involving sustain, expression, and custom footswitches.
