With seamless Kontakt integration via NKS technology, you'll experience a direct connection to virtual instruments and effects like never before. This bundle also includes a folding Z stand, sustain pedal and deluxe bench—everything you need to play in comfort and unlock your full creative potential.

Intelligent Software Integration

The S49 MK3 puts thousands of rich, expressive sounds at your fingertips through next-gen NKS. You'll enjoy an immersive experience playing Kontakt's world-class virtual instruments with intelligent auto-mapping for seamless control. The high-resolution color screen allows for intuitive browsing and tweaking so you can quickly find the perfect sound. With NKS, virtual instruments feel as responsive and natural as playing hardware synths.

Expressive Playability

As you perform, the S49's 49 semi-weighted, hammer-action keys provide a premium playing experience reminiscent of an acoustic piano. But this keyboard goes a step further with polyphonic aftertouch—apply additional expression by varying pressure on individual keys to modulate parameters like vibrato and cutoff. Developed with Fatar, the responsive keybed translates every nuance of your playing into authentic, detailed sound.

Designed for Musicians

Beyond intelligent software integration, the S49 MK3 impresses with thoughtful design touches tailored for creative musicians. The overhauled industrial chassis combines metal and glass elements into a sleek, robust package built to withstand years of use. Anodized aluminum knobs and pitch/mod wheels offer premium feel. A redesigned Light Guide illuminates key zones, scales and more to keep you in key. With USB MIDI, USB-C bus power and ample pedal inputs, it seamlessly integrates into any modern studio setup.
