Smart Play features without a computer connected

loopo70

I'm looking for a new MIDI-keyboard. As a user of Komplete 14, the Control S-Series is of course the obvious choice, which also makes a very good impression.

But I also use a setup without a computer. If I understand correctly, all of the Smart Play functions don't work without a computer, not even the arpeggiator.

Will an update change this situation?

It will be implemented in next firmware update, hopefully.

@loopo70 I can confirm that standalone Play Assist will be included in the next update. If you wanna see more details on the upcoming changes to the Kontrol S-Series MK3, check out this post from our Chief Product Officer:

Did NI announce this or is that your hope :-)

They did. This is supposed to be implemented next. Search the forum, there was the future roadmap published at one point by NI.
