The lights on my S61 MK1 keyboard go out

dspears

When I load Komplete Kontrol, My lights to my s61 to the keys (blue ones) go out everything else works. Does anyone have a fix?

Thank you

Paul, I know Jester said everyone would like that option to turn the lights off. I deleted kk then reinstall it. Then playing around I saw the option.

Hey @dspears the original title mentioned the Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2, yours is a MK1 model, only the MK1 have the possibility to turn the lightguide on or off.

Hey @dspears Is it on mac ? PC ? In Komplete Kontrol in standalone as well ? Does it happen with any instrument loaded ? Did you try another USB cable ?

dspears

Jeremy it’s on a Mac on stand alone yes. When I go into Logic Pro alone the lights stay on. Then I start kontol the lights go out. I just re installed kontrol. No fix. In stand alone, instruments load, no lights. I changed usb no change. Native instrument’s send a check list. That did not work either.

Do you know how many people have BEGGED to be able to turn the damn lights off for years. Seems like you have a special feature that others can only dream of. Only so long you can stare at that endless blue

dspears

Well I would like to use the full functionality of the keyboard first. But if I find out how it’s done, I’ll let you know.

Hey @dspears You submitted a request that I answered on Wednesday, please get back to me there so we can ftroubleshoot further.

dspears

I did right after. Did you see it? See above.

That's strange as I do not have that option on my S49 keyboard, that hardware tag does not show in KK, is it a keyboard specific option or have they updated the keyboards.

Ahh mark 1 model, makes sense now.

Peeps has been asking for that option for ages, funny how I have not got that option but it doesn't really bother me anyway I was just curious.

The ability to switch LG on/off was a feature on MK1 keyboards but was strangely omitted from MK2 keyboards.

If you have an MK2 keyboard you cannot switch lights off, only MK1 keyboards have this option.
