help Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A49 FAQ

Does the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A49 come with included software?

Yes, the Komplete Kontrol A49 ships with Komplete Start, a free selection of NI instruments and effects, as well as a selection of sounds from the full Komplete bundle. Users can also purchase the full Komplete package separately for access to the entire NI library.

Does the A49's NKS integration work with plugins outside the NI ecosystem?

The A49's NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) integration works with any third-party plugin that has been NKS-authorized by its developer, including instruments from companies like Arturia, Spitfire Audio, and Heavyocity. Non-NKS plugins can still be played via standard MIDI but will not benefit from the automatic parameter mapping.

Is the Komplete Kontrol A49 bus-powered over USB?

Yes, the Komplete Kontrol A49 is fully bus-powered over its USB connection, so no external power supply is required. This is standard across the entire A-series lineup from Native Instruments.

Does the Komplete Kontrol A49 have semi-weighted keys with aftertouch?

The Komplete Kontrol A49 features a custom semi-weighted keybed with 49 full-size keys, but it does not include aftertouch. Aftertouch is reserved for Native Instruments' more premium S-series controllers.
