14 NKS instruments that will change the way you create music | Native Instruments Blog

How can NKS help my workflow?

Creativity is all about momentum, and interruptions to your flow can make the difference between a great song or composition and an abandoned sketch. NKS addresses this by seamlessly connecting your Native Instruments and third-party VSTs to the keys, pads, wheels, or buttons on your controller. That means you can choose sounds and adjust parameters right from your hardware, without needing to pause to assign mappings or switch back to the keyboard and mouse.

The NKS standard also opens up a world of compatible instruments and sounds from hundreds of developers, giving you a steady supply of inspiration. We’ll explore some of these NKS instruments below.
