KK extremely laggy after last update to 3.2.1

rogerbenet

After the last update 3.2.1, the KK on Logic, became extremely laggy. Simple things like turn the plugin knobs or drag the plugin window, became extremely lagging

FelixP

Which MacOS and Logic version are you using?

Does this happen with all plugins or just a group? If the later, could you name please one.

rogerbenet

Ventura. Only happens on Komplete control

Do you actually own a MKIII keyboard?

Dear OP:

First off, you didn't fully answer @FelixP's question above…you left out the version of Logic.

And we'll need to know your answer to @Vocalpoint's question above…do you have a MK3 keyboard or not.

Also, please describe what you mean by "laggy". This could mean ANYTHING without further details from you.

For example, is there a lag from when you play a note and then hear that note?

Or is there a lag from when you turn one of the rotaries (say, to change an effect or filter) and hear that rotary's impact to the sound?

Or is it during browsing when you press a button or turn a rotary to scroll the lists?

If the last one is true, does the lag also happen when you use the mouse to interface with KK on the computer screen?

I use the S88 MK II

Last Logic version and Ventura MAC OS

The lag occurs when I turn the knobs on the software, with the controller or mouse, and it’s extremely slow response. The lag occurs on the entirely plugin operation. This problem occurs even in the controller itself and the screen plugin.

"I use the S88 MK II"

There is no specific need to use Komplete Kontrol 3 with a MKII series keyboard.

Supported? Yes. Required - No. Recommended? The jury is still out.

To address this issue - you might consider using KK v2.9.6 (which I use here with my S61 MKII) - as it is much more feature complete and mature compared with KK3 - which (in my opinion) still has plenty of rough edges.

The 2.9.6v is that “older” design version?

Because the last version that I was using (and working fine, but I can’t remember the exact x.x.x V), was the one with that modern design

Correct. Older - yes. But for me anyway - the only way to fly with a MKII (right now anyway).

KK 3 will get there but its NI's focus here is really making sure the MKIII users get what they need with their new hardware right now.

Can't imagine they will be too worried about us MKII users right now.

I'm experiencing this too with the recent updates. When I use the knobs on my S61 MKII there is extreme delay when cycling sounds or any parameter changes. After about a minute (once this starts) it will then stop cycling other sounds, period. Before the latest updates this was buttery smooth. Please fix as KK is completely unusable right now. : / Using latest version of KK on Mac Ventura.

@Vocalpoint has given you good advice. In my opinion, NI support will probably recommend that you try downgrading Komplete Kontrol back to 2.9.6 and re-trying your MK2 controller.

I'll bet the lags go away.

@ScottyBready @rogerbenet, good luck!

The only previous 3.x version that I have download for is the Jeremy_NI , Customer Care February 27, 2024 : Komplete Kontrol 3.1.0 : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IYKUcDLApI0A3ewHPh9FQHdwatuDV0xd?usp=sharing

The Komplete Kontrol 2.9.6 - Last VST2 supported version is here.

(either don't say to include Arm version if exists).

Also , after updates and if having any kind problems then always double check the full disk access for N.I. apps , as well as in case here worth trying for DAW also.

Otherwise then N.I. Komplete Kontrol Support is here.

THink of V2 as the more "stable and usable" design. May look older but it has none of the issues the current version does and is far more efficient both in usage and resources so pick what matters to you.
