Komplete Kontrol (version 3.3.2) does not support Kontakt 8?

Hello, I am using Komplete Kontrol with my Komplete Kontrol MK2 S88 keyboard.
Komplete 15 has Kontakt 8, in Komplete Kontrol I am missing the extra features like Tools, Leap and combined.
When I open Kontakt 8 directly they are there, but there is no mapping to my controller (probably only with MK3).
Will this be available in the future?

    Maybe this is different for MkII users (?) but with KK3 there are macro controls available for Leap instruments (see below) that appear by default when you create a Leap instrument or drag an existing one in

    Someone asked about macros for start/end sample position but since that is potentially per note that would probably not be practicable as it would need a lot of macros.

    The extra features are only available with Direct Connection, which itself is only available with Kontrol S MK3.

    Kontakt Multi creation, navigation and adjustment, for instance, has never been available in Komplete Kontrol.

    shame you as company, to force your users buying another keyboard. I’m totally done with Native instruments. Buggy software, not listening to there users. Bad company.

    I think there's a misunderstanding here.

    Kontakt 8 works exactly the same way as Kontakt versions before it worked inside of Komplete Kontrol, which enables the NKS experience from compatible hardware. A Kontrol MK2 user would connect to Kontakt 8 this way.

    Kontakt 7 and 8 also feature Direct Connection, which allows the new Kontrol MK3 hardware to connect directly without Komplete Kontrol.

    There is no suggestion anyone is forced to move from a keyboard they currently own, that continues to work well, unless of course they want the new features.

    If you have Kontakt 8 installed it will replace any K7 libraries but you need to have ‘use latest version of NI plugins’ ticked in options

    After the 3.3.3 update problems in Logic, KK. couldn't find most librarys.

    Back to 3.3.2.

    Delete KK database in application support (Mac)

    Building database in standalone. Second scan in the KK plugin in Logic.

    Everything's olay includen Kontakt 8 in KK.

    Why is each update from Native instruments so problematic?
