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…

FM8 No Card Icon In Komplete Kontrol
FM8 refuses to show its logo card in Komplete Kontrol. I've gone through the instructions and did everything to fix this problem. Rebuilding the databse, reinstalling FM8, run as admin, disable antivirus, etc. Nothing else has this problem, just FM8. I've exhausted all fixes.

Has this happened to others? After a while, my Komplete Kontrol freezes on one plug-in instance
Has this happened to others? After a while, my Komplete Kontrol freezes on one plug-in instance. Everything works fine for a while, then the interface on the KK is stuck on one library, even if I change it. The keyboard still works, but all the KK functions, like the knobs, do not work. Any suggestions? Native Access and…

KK V3 - Multiple Outputs
Hello, so I am running Komplete Kontrol V3.5.3 (AU and VST3) in Ableton.

Arturia Plugins stepping in KK (KBDSW-7915)
When opening in KK standalone or the KK plugin in my DAW, on most of my Arturia Plugins like Pigments, Minimoog V4 etc. there is a weird stepping, when I move the knobs, either with the KK Potis or with mouse. this only happens when open in KK. When opening the plugins on their own in my DAW, the problem is not there.

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…

How do you set up aftertouch with FL?
I'm trying to link aftertouch with the S88 in FL. Neither NI or FL support were able to help me, and none of the standard guides work, neither does AI help. I'm trying to play some aftertouch capable libraries in Kontakt like the Spitfire LCOS. FL does receive the aftertouch signal in the logs, but doesn't know how to…

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.…

Komplete Kontrol software question (drag and drop)
I will keep it short. When are we getting back the drag and drop to DAW/anywhere functionality in Komplete Kontrol software browser (for Loop and One-shots category/type I mean)? It was really ridiculous to drop this feature for whatever reason, sorry. It has reduced my interest in Komplete Kontrol software. Any official…

I own an S88 Mkii. I purchased a Yamaha FC-7 volume pedal, plugged it into Port B, and followed the configuration instructions in Komplete Kontrol. Nothing happens when I move the pedal; it remains at full loudness regardless of position as though it wasn't there at all. Can anyone help me, please?
