TIP Sequoia adds an extra step when installing NI Hardware (Keyboards or Maschine) and Native Access
I found when updating to Sequoia that Apple now requires many apps and processes to be added to the Local Network for them to function correctly and this seems to include NIHostIntegrationAgent as well as most DAWS, and things like iLok. (It did also ask me to add NTKDaemon but it looks like that is not required) So if…

Serum 2 Crashes Komplete Kontrol
In the KK standalone, when loading Serum 2 it throws an error and crashes KK: Serum had a recent update, but the odd thing is it only crashes the standalone KK. In Cubase 15, with KK as a vst, Serum 2 runs fine (hosted inside KK). Yesterday in the KK standalone when scanning plugins it threw a bunch of those memory errors,…

Any suggestions? Native Access and…

Navigation and selection in mk3 hardware
So I just upgraded to the Kontrol s88 mk3 hardware. I really like it, but navigation seems to be a backwards step? So the only way the manual talks about being able to select (and arm) a track to play etc. is by the encoder, and only the encoder. I can bank in sections of 8 through tracks, but I cannot select any of the…
