S88 not showing up in Komplete Kontrol

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the S88 to work under Windows 11.

After a long struggle I got the S88 to be recognized as device inside Win11 but I only can use it as an expensive Midi-Keyboard, it is not possible to get the device be recognized in Kontrol.

Does anybody got the same problems and does know how to get things running?

Which S88 and which version of komp kontrol? If your using the mk1 on the latest version of komp kontrol then that might be the reason it's not seeing it. Native instruments have stopped supporting the s88 mk1 and you might need to roll back to komp kontrol 2.9.6 for it to be recognised.

I have had the same problem. I'm using a S88 MK1. Had to revert back to Kontrol 2.9.6 and now everyting is back to normal:

Komplete Kontrol Legacy Installers for Older Operating Systems – Native Instruments (native-instruments.com)

Native Instruments seem to have a strategy of not giving a f#*k about their loyal customers. It's not the first time they stopped supporting some of their expensive hardware. Imo the S88 MK1 is not really something you replace after a few years just because N.I. released a new version of their software.

You will need to install Komplete Kontrol 2.9.6 to get the drivers loaded. You cannot use Komplete Kontrol v3 with any MK1 keyboard.
