KK S61 MkIII ifirmware update failed during initial setup, windows doesn't recognize device now
During initial setup of a new unit, the firmware updater hung for about an hour, so I tried restarting the unit. I got the "looks like something went wrong screen" and tried again. The firmware updater now displayed firmware version 0.0.1 instead of the 1.7x as it initially had. This time when I started the firmware…

No response from NI support, Non-functioning KK S61 Mk III
It's been eight days since I sent in support ticket for new KK S61 MkIII after firmware update failure. Now two different computers fail to recognize the device and firmware updater doesn't detect that it's present, so no attempt to rerun the update is possible. I've received no response other than the initial auto-reply…

KK S49 MK3 only allowing session record (not clip record) in Ableton 12
Hi, I just got a brand new KK S49 MK3 keyboard today and I am having an extremely annoying problem. I bought it because my record button on my Push 2 died around 3 years ago and I am tired of using my mouse to click record. Anyway, what is happening is when I am in DAW mode or Plug In mode within Ableton 12 (Suite) and…

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…

D 4 not working
D4 either is silent, or blasts at full volume. I can transpose from D3, but that is a bit cumbersome.

Using S61 MK3 keyboard with Kontakt standalone
Question from a complete NI newbie. I am looking to purchase a Kontrol S61 MK3 keyboard with Komplete 15 ultimate purely to play presets. Am I correct in saying that opening up Kontakt 7 in standalone mode (I have no need to use a DAW) I can access all of the instrument presets that come with the 15 package via the S61…

Komplete Kontrol 3.40 and Novation LK29 MK4 hardware integration test
As a long time NI user I was excited about this release and hopeful that it would actually enhance my experience as I had written a simple Pads Custom 1 set of text actions: left, up, down, right and return. Easy to engage and importantly disengage for working in Live 12. I have MacOS Sonoma, MPB M1 Pro 32GB ram and…

Are the Komplete Kontrol Series Keyboards the only ones that can seamlessly modify a knob's value?
When using a Komplete Kontrol Series Keyboard, turning one of the 8 knobs immediately modifies the associated value from the value it currently sits at. When trying with 3rd-party-controllers (one of which is officially supported by Komplete Kontrol software) the value either jumps to the absolute value of the knob or (if…

Akai MPK4 - Controller integration
I'm glad the NKS template for the MPK4 is available, but I'm confused by the instructions for enabling all of its functions. After loading the template, the automatic mapping of the knobs works seamlessly. However, I cannot navigate Native Access from the MPK4's pads. I managed to load an 'Unmodified User Preset' on the…

Dev question - what 0x values are the piano light strips?
I'm working on a project that integrates MK3 S Series keyboards with Synthesia and would like to tap into the light strips of the piano keys. Can someone from the dev team give info on the 0x values to control them? I currently have an S88 MK3 keyboard that I am testing with.

Please tell me the 700€ S61 Mk3 is capable of receiving MIDI clock
Please tell me that's what the MIDI in is for. Please tell me I'm overlooking something and the ARP can be synced to an incoming MIDI clock.

No MIDI arriving in Ableton Live, No DAW-Mode
Hi, I have a problem with my Kontrol S61 Mk3. I downloaded Native Access, Komplete Kontrol and the Hardware Connection Service, all latest versions. Imade sure that the keyboard has the latest firmware. Playing instruments in Kontrol works fine but the problem lies within DAW integration. Ableton Live is listing 3…

I love my S88 MK3, but why on earth they overlooked this? (KMK3-1756)
This is my first 88 key MIDI controller and I simply love playing it, but however it has at least one critical flaw. Especially when used with VST instruments - even with the official NKS support mind you. This thing can't reach the lowest octaves (-2 OC) so I could quickly change my articulations etc. Even my tiny…

Plug-in for device "KOMPLETE KONTROL A-Series" is missing
Every time I go to open up Logic I get the pop up "Plug-in for device "KOMPLETE KONTROL A-Series" is missing". This is strange since the keyboard appears to play fine on logic and standalone KK without any issues. I've tried deleting Mac HD/Users/User Name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.logic.pro.cs as another forum…

Faulty Backlighting
Has anyone else experienced this? Sometimes my browse, undo and scroll/jump left and right button lose their backlighting. I can do something like spin the jogwheel and the backlighting will come one for one button. I can actually do a browse, search and load and instrument, after that the button stays backlit. However, if…
