Good evening,

Is it possible to install the A 25 and the A 49 on one computer so that they work together?
I often read that this should not be done. Is that really true?
If you never use both, but only one of them at a time - i.e. switch them on - wouldn't that be a possibility?

Another question: How do you activate or operate the 4 D encoder so that it is possible to go forwards or backwards?

    You already answered that question yourself over here , in the sense that you know already that you will only get into trouble.

    Also quote N.I. Support : "Can I Use More than One Kontrol S-Series MK3 Keyboard Simultaneously?" :

    Using more than one Kontrol S MK3 keyboard simultaneously on the same computer (e.g. Kontrol MK3 and another Kontrol MK3 / MK2 / A or M keyboard) is not supported.

    This can lead to inconsistent communication between your computer and the keyboards and cause a number of instabilities.

    If you want to use two MIDI keyboard controllers simultaneously, it is possible to use a second non-Kontrol MIDI keyboard controller, as this should not interfere with the Kontrol integration.

    Thank you!
    So the word “use” refers to the “installation” alone? If I install the two devices mentioned above but only use one of them.
    Is the installation of the 2nd device already sufficient for the instability?

    That's not how I comprehend it , to me the word use in this case is referring to attaching two Komplete keyboards to the same computer. But this is a matter of interpretation and your 'guess' is as good as mine-

    As a Moderator here I have zero access to technical details that you have not and for more reasons I have not studied the subject. I can imagine that the answer to the question about what problems that you could/would experience might depend on more factors. Also I rather suspect that even if you ask N.I. Komplete Kontrol Support then they will give you general statements the likes of : "This can lead to inconsistent communication between your computer and the keyboards and cause a number of instabilities." rather than them investigating and answering about specific use case where N.I. do not support any of the use cases anyway.

    All right, thank you very much!
    So I'm going to sell one of two keyboards.
    But I don't know which one yet...

    Perhaps you first need to find out which one that you want to replace with what ?

    Anyway , then good luck with that and have fun the making music 🙂
