Native Instruments has announced an update to its smart MIDI keyboard controller series. The August 2024 update for the Kontrol S-Series MK3 comes with on-device MIDI templates, allowing you to create, manage and switch between templates directly from your keyboard.

New as of August 2024, you can now create, manage, and switch between MIDI templates directly from your Kontrol S-series MK3 keyboard. Standalone mode also now allows control of external synthesizers, drum machines and other MIDI devices, or you can use a computer to control any DAW or plugins. Additionally, you can export and share your MIDI templates, or import templates made by others.

Watch the video below to see Kontrol’s MIDI templates in action with UDO’s Super 6 Binaural Synthesizer, and check out our Community thread to share, browse, and download MIDI templates of interest to you (for example, for a specific piece of hardware or software).
