My new Kontrol S88 M3 will not work with Logic

Joe Patterson

I just got my new S88 and was excited to plug it in. I went through the simple steps to set the S88 up with logic. For some reason it locked up and I got a screen that said to restart the S88, so I did. The keyboard has a mind of its own. At times it will lock up and only stay in the DAW mode, other times it just flashes to something different. Sometimes I can load an instrument from the S88 and I can see it on the S88 screen but it will not play through Logic. And the other way around, what's on the computer does not show up on the S88. I updated all of the software before installing the S88. I deleted my preferences in Logic. Has this happened to anyone else???

Okay after much experimenting what completely locks up your Kontrol S88 M3 are the settings in Komplete Kontrol and Kontakt7. In both programs under preferences, MIDI, use only the Kontrol S88 (Main) input and output. Turn off the other two, (DAW) and (Ext). Then both programs will communicate with Logic Pro.
