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.

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…

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)?

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.…

Receiving DIN midi clock on the Kontrol S MK3
Hi! First post on this forum… I'm own an S88 since a while and recently bought an S61 for another setup. I use one of these in a hybrid setup, as well to be used on the pc with Komplete etc., as in a hardware oriented setup with an external sequencer or drum module. It would be very useful to be able to play a hardware…

Who knows how to fully get the back off of a NI KK MK2 S49? I cleaned the board under the keys from a drink spill now I can't reattach the 3 ribbons because one screw or something is holding the back from coming off.
