Avid Pro Tools + Komplete Kontrol MIDI Controller not working

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi guys,

I recently received my NI Kontrol S88 MK3. I now want to setup my Pro Tools (2024.10), but it's not working as it should.

When going to Peripherals > MIDI Controllers, I select "KompleteKontrol". Then it should automatically select the receiver and sender. This isn't the case. Also, when selecting "KONTROL S88 MK" it doesn't do anything.

I also tried it on #1, but that's also not working.

Sidenote: the midi-keyboard function in an Instrument Track does work. But that's not the intergration I'm looking for at this moment.

Can someone please help me out?
Thanks in advance!

In the screenshots I see that there is another controller selected. Can you try with only the MK3 keyboard?

Please also try the following:

Close Pro Tools,

2. Press Windows () to open the start menu,

3. Type %appdata% and press OK,

4. Open the Avid folder, and delete the Pro Tools Prefs file

Open Pro Tools.

@Marciano Is everything functional in Komplete Kontrol in standalone? Do you run Komplete Kontrol and Pro Tools as admin? How to Run a Program as an Administrator

Also make sure that you set the keyboard to MIDI 1.0, Pro Tools does not support MIDI 1.0: How to Switch a Kontrol S-Series MK3 Keyboard to MIDI 1.0

@Jeremy_NI

The keyboard itself is working in Komplete Kontrole standalone. I don't run Pro Tools as admin, because some features will not work (like drag and drop clips from Windows into the session).

The keyboard is already set to MIDI 1.0 :-(

Well, that is rather strange, running as admin should fix any permission issue and allow you to drag and drop, not stopping it.
