Description

Are you looking for a MIDI keyboard that you can seamlessly integrate with all of your production software? Look no further than the Native Instruments S88MK2. Thanks to the seamless integration, you can control your software with the buttons of the S88. This way, you won't have to connect the keyboard to the software yourself, while streamlining your production process. You'll feel like you're playing an acoustic piano, because all 88 keys are equipped with a weighted hammer mechanism. Because of this, the keys feel heavy, which makes it easier to put more emotion in your recital. Thanks to the 2 color screens, you can easily find your way around the settings and presets. This way, you aren't dependent of your mouse when you're looking for a specific sound, or if you want to edit a sound.

Very satisfied!

  • Good interface
  • Many possibilities
  • Smart controller for Native Instruments plugins
  • No sound loading, so you always need a laptop.

The controller is a very good addition to your home studio or live set-up

Recommended for advanced home studio producer & DAW composer

  • Screens and lots of buttons
  • Good touch
  • Made robust
  • Not very intuitive in operation and installation

It is best to set aside some time if you want to learn how to work well with this device. Not for a novice home producer. Does what it promises and very well! Fortunately, many video manuals can be found about this device on Youtube. Recommended for those who use many different sample libraries with NKS and want to see the keyswitch keys light up. The device takes up quite a bit of space, a separate tripod is handy. Please note, this is not really intended for people who just want a piano at home.

Great tool

  • keystroke feels natural
  • many possibilities to control controllers
  • great integration with NI instruments
  • controlling non Native Instruments VSTs is possible, but not easy. Bad manual for that

Nice versatile controller. Plays like an acoustic piano. The sound quality depends on software instruments, because the device does not have its own sounds. But NI VSTs are good and non-VSTs can also be controlled. So versatile.
