Changing default LED color on the S88 MK2

Joshua Benton

I know that you can create templates that align with different LED colors, but is there a way to change the stop Blue LED color when playing/practicing at home to any color or multiple colors for aesthetic reasons?

I am very new to all of this MIDI keyboard business, so please go easy on this newb :)

No the default blue for the leds cannot be changed nor can it be switched off. Open a ticket and complain to NI, maybe one day they will listen.

I don’t think the buttons led color can be changed. Or are you talking about the light guide on the keys?

After years with the controller both 88 and 32 keys models, I think I'm also ready to have a color change. C'mon NI!

It can be done. Check the instructions on this video.

As the OP stated, they already know you can create a MIDI template to change the colour, that is not what is being asked tho. What they (and many) would like to be able to do is change the actual default state of the LEDs or even just switch them off. Switching off is possible on the MK3 but was never possible on the MK2 and it is not possible on any model to set a different colour unless using a MIDI template which is not in effect when using NKS enabled instruments.
