Unable to set up Kontrol S61 MK3

in Komplete Kontrol

My Kontrol S61 MK3 arrived today and I'm trying to follow the setup instructions at ni.de/kontrol-setup. When I get to step 5 to update the keyboard, it directs me to ni.de/kontrol-update which gives me error "404 – PAGE NOT FOUND".

The keyboard won't let me use it until it is updated. Does anyone have a working link to download the firmware updater?

Thanks!

    Hi @aatreya Kontrol Mk3 has not been shipped yet and therefore cannot be installed. We'll get in touch with you via DM!

    I'm not sure there is any Komplete Kontrol software even available to download as yet for the MK3

    Unfortunately, it looks like that link doesn't have a firmware updater for the new Kontrol S MK3 keyboards since they were just released.

    Yeah I am pretty sure you have yours ahead of time a bit, the KK software still needs to be finalised and released which I would assume will be very soon but until it's downloadable you prob can't do much unless a mod can send you a pre-release link

    How could anyone have received one so early?

    Jeff Gibbons received one from NI and it works perfectly. So there must be an software update somewhere or an option to make it work without the update.. Nice review Jeff gave here https://youtu.be/LZwDbd5vos4?si=1ukF2raluIndhCdJ

    Not much new except for the cool design. Nice is that you can avoid the outdated KK plugin as you get NKS functionality with Kontakt and maybe with NKS2 compatible plugins from third parties if there are any. Why the mk2 cannot do that is a mystery. Furthermore the live playable aftertouch without having to use the instrument plugin automation is nice to have.

    I'm in the same boat. Just received my keyboard, also stuck at this step. Mine came from Guitar Center, and on the label it said "Do not ship earlier than September 12th." Hoping there's a way to actually use the keyboard, even if the firmware is in BETA.

    Did you figure this out? NI is now asking me to return the keyboard, but I’ve asked them why and have not gotten a response. This whole situation has been quite disappointing and frustrating.

    @Kaiwan_NI could you kindly provide some clarification here?
