Arturia and Native Instruments have announced a partnership to bring full Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) support to their MIDI controllers: KeyLab MK3, KeyLab Essential MK3, and MiniLab 3.
This integration introduces a new level of interaction between hardware and software, offering musicians, producers, and performers a smoother, more intuitive creative workflow — everything works straight out of the box.
“Arturia is committed to designing universal MIDI controllers, built to inspire creativity without limits.” says Martin Dutasta, Product Director at Arturia. “We're thrilled to partner with Native Instruments on NKS integration. This initiative brings greater connectivity and a more fluid workflow, benefiting creators who rely on both ecosystems.”
"This reinforces our commitment to an open and connected music industry," adds Simon Cross, Chief Product Officer at Native Instruments. "We’re giving musicians the freedom to explore sound without workflow limitations."
