With the B4D drawbar controller Native Instruments now offers a perfect hardware controller for the B4, allowing musicians to control the sound with an authentic drawbar feel, just like the original. The sturdy B4D drawbar controller offers 9 mechanical drawbars, 22 buttons, and 2 knobs for intuitive control over the most important B4 sound parameters. The controller's nine drawbars can access any of the three B4 drawbar groups. With the buttons and knobs you can control the rotary speaker, vibrato/chorus, percussion, recall presets on the fly, and change the volume and overdrive. Playing the B4 is more dynamic and authentic than ever before.

The B4D controller's sturdy housing is made of high-quality metal and wood. The handy drawbars, precise buttons, and stable knobs provide a direct and intuitive playing feel for controlling the B4's most important parameters: sound character, presets, rotator, percussion, vibrato/chorus, volume, and overdrive.

Each of the B4's drawbar groups can be accessed fast using the switches for Upper, Lower, and Bass. LED lights indicate the current position of the buttons, letting you switch quickly between the different groups when playing live.
