Get Hands-on with Your Music

"Music-making is at its best when it's fast, fun, and physical. Find the right sound, make it your own, perform, and capture the results – all from a responsive, semi-weighted keyboard."

Pre-mapped and Ready to Play

All of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments and effects come pre-mapped to the hardware. Essential parameters like envelope controls and filter cutoffs display on the OLED screen as you adjust knobs in real time.

Perform Creatively

With Smart Play, users select a scale and play without concern about incorrect notes. Chord mode allows single-key progressions, while the arpeggiator enables expressive performances.

Capture Your Ideas

The A49 integrates with Logic Pro X, GarageBand, and Ableton Live, providing immediate access to transport, mixing, and editing controls. MASCHINE Essentials allows users to capture ideas directly without additional software.
