Description

Unleash the full potential of your musical setup with the Native Instruments Rig Kontrol 2, a versatile MIDI foot controller designed to seamlessly integrate with Guitar Rig 2 and beyond. This robust controller offers a 24-bit/96kHz USB 2.0 audio interface, providing pristine sound quality and precise real-time control over your effects and sounds. With its rugged brushed aluminum housing, the Rig Kontrol 2 is built to withstand the rigors of live performances while offering the flexibility you need in the studio.

Equipped with one metal pedal and seven ultra-solid switches, including one conveniently located under the pedal for bypassing effects like wah-wah, the Rig Kontrol 2 allows you to control a wide array of sound parameters without missing a beat. The switches are complemented by status LEDs for instant visual feedback, and a 3-digit LED display keeps you informed of your current preset number. Whether you're switching presets, toggling effects, or using the pedal as a wah or volume control, all actions are transmitted via USB 2.0 for enhanced resolution and accuracy.

The Rig Kontrol 2 also boasts comprehensive connectivity options, with two 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs, each featuring individual gain controls and signal/peak LEDs, plus a dedicated headphone output for private monitoring. This device is not just a controller; it’s a full-fledged audio interface, powered directly through USB, eliminating the need for an external power source. With MIDI I/O and additional pedal inputs, the Rig Kontrol 2 is a central hub for your musical creativity.
