I've wasted far too many hours of my life trying to get KK software to do the most basic of things. All I want to be able to change preset without using the mouse.
Afaik its not possible with the computer keyboard, you can press the up and down arrow which moves the selection, it plays the preview sound but there is no way to actually change to this preset. I have tried all the reasonable keyboard keys.
There is also a Midi learn function. I am an Ableton Live user and I am able to map the 8 knobs to midi cc message and these go from my midi controller, through ableton and then onto KK.
However there is a second page for mapping buttons to preset up/down page left right etc. I have found no method of getting KK to listen to momentary midi CC messages to controller these functions from a midi controller device when acting as a plugin inside Ableton Live
It works in stand alone mode, I have to select my controller as a midi input in the KK settings but this midi input settings page is only available with in standalone mode.
It blows my mind that a company with this much fantastic sounding plugins has such a horrible software experience unless you buy their hardware controllers. I have no space for a NI midi controller in my studio
