Hi. Prior to 2.0.5, when I was on an instrument like Claire, the Claire artwork would appear on the S88 mk3 screen. I really liked that.

Kontrol S-Series MK3 2.0 update - Encoder Issue / values jump up only
I have a weird issue with the firmware update in Logic - when choosing smart controls, or any non-NI plug in, or the DAW controls, moving the encoders lets the values just jump up in big steps, but not down (even if I turn them left).
