Connection Kontrol S61 Mk3 To Logic Pro for Newbies

Trekkie

I have a new S61 Mk3 that I'm trying to understand the correct way to connect it into logic so that I can use Kontakt and the apps as well as the DAW of Logic Pro 10.7.9 (I'm using the Trial which is at that version)

When I fire up Logic Pro on my M1 Max MacBook Pro running Sonoma initially everything seems too e working. I add a software instrument, Kontakt 7, and then the keyboard loads up the browser.

First time I set it up the Settings window popped up and there are three versions of KONTROL S61 there - the Main, DAW, and Ext.

I picked my instrument on the keyboard (The Grandeur - Basic) and everything is fine. Plug-IN is lit, and I can manage the plug in, keys play and sound routes correctly.

However, if I hit the DAW button to control Logic in anyway, the display shuts off, and no buttons work. DAW is lit, STOP is lit, the display goes off, settings/MIDI is lit, and the two arrows are lit.

I can't hit plugin or browser to continue in kontakt, non of the play/stop buttons work, metronome etc.

Am I misunderstanding how that should work, or am I missing a setting? I searched YouTube and the video is for the Mk2 and I can't find a Mk3 video.

OK. I figured it out.

Somehow in my setup either I missed the 'import' question (two screens) or I removed it.

I re-created the control surfaces by re-importing it from the keyboard, and now it seems to be working as I expected.

I seem to be having a very similar problem. Could you elaborate on where you found the "import" question? And how did you re-import it from the keyboard.

Thank you

under settings - > Control Surfaces.

Click setup in the bottom right

In there, under edit, I deleted everything in there (i didn't have anything much)

close and restart

when it started up it said 'hey do you want to import the settings' (probably more formal than that)

I said yes, after that, it worked great.
