Experience enhanced expression with polyphonic aftertouch, which allows you to add layers of nuance to your playing with cutoff, pitch, vibrato, and more, all without reaching for an extra encoder or dial. The Kontrol S49 MK3 features an industry-leading keybed developed in collaboration with Fatar, complete with polyphonic aftertouch.
