I greet you all. My name is Marco and I just signed up. I would like to buy the new Kontrol S61 mk3 soon, but first I would like to be sure that this device is compatible with iPad and/or iPhone. I couldn't figure out if it's a "class compliant" device. Can someone clear up this doubt for me?

Thanks in advance

    I have been unable to find any verifiable source to quote if the keyboard is "class compliant". I did however find a discussion for you here : "Using Komplete Kontrol S Series keyboards with an iPad (tested and working)" ,

    quote discussion : Thanks for sharing. It is also possible to use the camera kit for iPad. I tested and it works with Kontrol S61 MK3, using the Korg Module app.
    Edit: There are kits with USB-C to [ USB-A (data) + headphone jack + USB-C (charging) ]

    Also then this support article does not mention the keyboards but gives general guidance : How to Connect your NI Controller / Audio Interface to an iOS Device : https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/210280705-How-to-Connect-your-NI-Controller-Audio-Interface-to-an-iOS-Device

    Otherwise the pre sales question can be directed at : N.I. Purchase Support

    Should be class compliant, but, of course, the enhanced functionality (Komplete Kontrol, DAW control) won't be available then.

    If you want to know for sure, you should contact NI support indeed.
