    Stupid me I forgot also to mention another cable optiony it of course depends on what you have already and if your cables are long enough to connect the keyboard via USB c to c. You can also buy one of those for your audio interface:

    I have good experience with the ugreen cables but of course you can also use an anker cable - but you most likely have already one of those cables from a cellphone and you can try it with that for the interface

    @Uwe303

    Have you been to Colorado? The 303 is a telephone area code for half of our state. I'm in the 719 area code btw.

    Also, thank you for the additional details on your setup and gear, it's very helpful to visualize conceptionally.

    I forgot to mention while everything connected on the mk3 keyboard will return to USB-C with data to desktop PC, and Anker brick plug-in AC power supply, and the 240W Anker USB-C to USB-C. The Anker power adaptor uses IQ4, which is smart enough to know the wattage needed to the device it's connected to. 67 watts obviously powers up the mkb S3 88 keys and all those LEDs and the OLED on-board display take much more power than just a mobile phone. Even phone chargers are rated differently. I started with 3w, then 5w, etc. phone chargers spanning the last decade to no avail to light up my MK3 88. Only the Anker power adaptor wirh IQ4, and the Anker 240w cable made it light up.

    In comparison to my Presonus Quantum ES2 Audio Interface, my Rosenway 10-port USB-C splitter has one port on the bottom that is 20W PD, was all it needed for power.

    I ordered the USB-C splitter and one of the MIDI USB-A to USB-C 10 GB/sec data and power cable adaptors that are an Amazon Basic brand which are 3 ft. in length.

    It's a good idea to max out the desktop PC's power supply unit (PSU) (Corsair brand is the gold standard).

    I'm currently using over 20 USB ports of varying types A/B/C for different power and data transfer demands like a color laser printer, a led 104 QWERTY keyboard, cell phones, digital cameras, studio microphones, a mouse, and PC case, GPU, and water-cooled CPU fans, etc.

    I'll catch-up after I get the USB items delivered and connect up everything over the weekend. I downloaded the Komplete CE bundle yesterday.

    Regarding my DAW, the Presonus Studio One Pro 6, it automatically sensed my MK3 88 for the MIDI instrument and MIDI controller upon setup. It also sensed my Presonus Quantum ES2 Audio Interface automatically.

    The driver you mentioned if I loaded it in Native Access, I wasn't sure for which device. I know for sure that the KK MK3 88 keyboard was loaded.

    Cheers and much gratitude,

    A USB C splitter should also work cause you power both devices not via USB - tell us how it all works and if you need some assistance with setting up stuff just ask, 303 just referes to the rolend TB 303, i live in germany, Leipzig, we could also make a video call if you like that might make things easier

    And wow 240 watts - there also where others with problems, with smaller power supplies, not powering up the keyboard, good to know if someone asks this again for a specific model. And absolutely a good power supply also for a PC is mandatory in my opinion, I always use be quiet, they are popular here in germany, it's a german brand as far as I know and I also use the be quiet cases. But other manufacturers have also very interesting products for sure.
