No "Komplete Kontrol DAW - 1" entry for S61 Mk2
I've recently built a new audio PC.

NKS2 Tabs - Are we able to edit?
I know we can switch to NKS1 for custom user pages, but then we don't get tabs. How can we make custom tabs for a plugin? *UA does a great job at organizing their NKS2 tabs, but Arturia's NKS2 tabs are sometimes all over the place so I wanna edit those.

Komplete Kontrol: Sample Browser Resets to First Preset After Adding an Effect
Hi, I’ve noticed that when I do the following, the preset resets to the first one in the list on my S61 MK3. Select a Loop or One Shot. While I stay in that area, browsing works normally. If I add an effect to the chain, then go back to the Loop/One Shot browser and change the original preset, it defaults back to the first…

Transposing on S61 MK3 - WHY IS IT NOT VISIBLE on the LCD!?!
If I transpose semi-tones on the S61, MK3 keyboard, why is it not shown on the LCD? It is an ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL feature that I would expect of a keyboard costing a fraction of this one.
