Bitwig Studio - Bitwig Device Library for NKS-like Integration without Komplete Kontrol
Bitwig Studio has customisable remote controls for devices and plugins which are rather like NKS mappings but with several advantages. For a start the editor for creating them is much more flexible than Komplete Kontrol's NKS editor as you can freely move around pages and also map the same param to multiple pages (eg if…

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…

Why is the S88 MK3 limited to -1 Octave? (MK2 could do -2)
I'm really frustrated with a regression in the S88 MK3 design. On the MK2, we could shift down two octaves to reach the low keyswitches (C-2 area) commonly used in libraries like Spitfire and Shreddage. The MK3 has hard-locked the octave down button to -1 only. This makes those keyswitches inaccessible from the hardware.…

Mapping knobs of KKM32 to Ableton Live stock devices'
I just bought a KKM32 and it works perfectly fine The knobs only control the track volume (and panning with shift), really useful but I wish I could map them to Ableton Live stock devices' knobs; I swear I've seen a video of that being possible, but it might have been a different NI keyboard? Let me know how I could do that

Kontrol S61/S49 MK3 Velocity Response

NI Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 - is this discontinued or not?
As many of you know, MK2 is a much better option for those of us who were dumb enough to completely enter the NI ecosystem and base our studio setup on the machine software/hardware. That and machine JAM - for arrangement. So any info if this changed? Or is Kontrol mk2 still being made and/or in stock?
