How to create custom MIDI Templates with Kontrol S MK3
Comments

I don’t know if I missed this earlier in the thread, but since MW and pedal controls got reassigned to individual MIDI maps, my MW is no longer being recognized in all instruments. Even in the Default MIDI Map, and I checked to make sure the MW is associated to CC1. Anyone have an idea what’s wrong?

Could you start a separate thread, please?

What size and format picture do you use for adding a picture to your template. I am using JPEG but keep getting an error that the resolution is wrong.

I have a question regarding program change. I mentioned it briefly in another post and also in the comments to the (great) Youtube video with Matt. He (or whoever from NI answers the YT videos) suggested to post it in this forum as this is something "We'll need to have a closer look at this". And to contact the support team directly. Here it is:
I am able to set up an incremental increasing or decreasing program change. But according to MIDI spec this works only for the first 128 presets. If I want to switch to the 129th or further I need to do a bank select with MSB and LSB (CC#0 and CC#32), as far as I have understood the spec. My question is, how to program such a bank select in the template. I've tried a few constellations but was never successful. Or is there another way/workaround to be able to switch through hundrets of presets of a softsynth?

would automatic switching of midi templates - when selecting a track in your daw - something that will be supported maybe in the future? or is this technically impossible?

Another use case for NRPN, Msb/Lsb.
Please make this happen. It is not a niche request, it’s fairly standard with hardware synths. Without it you get severe stepping on parameters at best, no control at all at worst.
Kontrol MK3 is the only Midi keyboard in the +$200 price range that doesn’t have it that I know of (Arturia, Maudio, Akai, etc…)1 -
Tagging @Chris_NI and @Martin_NI for visibility. Moving into 2025 I am focussed on Kontakt, and they on Kontrol.

@Chris_NI @Martin_NI @Matthew_NI Who is responsible for Komplete Kontrol support?

Just making my first post to ask the same. It would be useful to me to be able to select a MIDI template from a DAW, preferably using a program change message - given the theoretical number of templates that can be held on device then this might require assigning a PC number to a template.

HUGE thumbs up to this idea. I had hoped for it on the previous version (Mk2) and would love to see it for Mk3.

Are there any plans to bring updates to this feature? If so, is there any way to make suggestions for it?

NI should have updated KomKontrol when they released this keyboard. There are so many ways I could think of how Kontrol and the keyboard could interact - especially when making Custom MIDI Templates. Why not just have a Custom MIDI Template creator within Kontrol, where you could even add pictures within the plugin.

Curious if there are plans for overlapping keyzones? If I want to use a Kontrol MK3 as my main controller, this is critical for me.

While a specific number wasn't disclosed, I seem to recall reading somewhere (maybe even earlier in this thread?) that the limit is high enough (mostly driven by mk3's internal memory) as to be considered effectively infinite.
I presume it to be in the multiple thousands.0
