S61 Mk3 Not Detected By KK

SuperTRev

So my brand new thousand dollar big rectangle isn't being detected by the Komplete Kontrol plugin anymore. It just keeps booting up the MIDI mode every time.

I've tried Native Access updates, restarting the computer. And that's all I can think of. Can't find any info on this problem.

I can't update the firmware either because it has to be detected to do that. Which makes a whole lot of sense. You have to plug it in to fix it, but you need to fix it to be able to plug it in. 😅 It's like packaging scissors in hard plastic. You need the scissors to get the scissors. 😂

Yup it was Ccleaner. I still had the Daemon process sleeping. Woke it up and it's working fine now.

Got the firmware update too. Sorry, I didn't think of that before.

@SuperTRev Do you remember what happened before the issue? A Komplete Kontrol update? A Mac OS update? Different sub slot/cable/power supply? Did you update the Hardware Connection Service?

Please give this a try too: My Komplete Kontrol Keyboard Does Not Start

I'm on Windows. My keyboard does work. But it just goes to MIDI mode. Windows does detect it but the KK plugin doesn't recognize that the keyboard is running. Its entry is greyed out in the device drop down menu.

My Native Access program was conflicting with a third party firewall I have called Portmaster. I wonder if that is involved here too.

I used to 'sleep' the NK Daemon process with Ccleaner, because I don't need it running when not making music, as it says that it has a 'high impact' on performance. But I think that I reverted that.

I will reinstall the drivers and see if that fixes it.
