    I am not sure that you will do anything other than fry/break something by doing what you have been doing. Where specifically does it say that you can connect a Kontrol S49 MK3 directly to a mpc live 2 using USB ? (You could maybe connect the devices using a Midi cable if you wanted a direct connection ?)

    Immediately then I would expect that if using USB then you to have to connect both devices to the the computer ('Host') and then any communication would be via the host.

    @D-One , sorry to bother you, could you please give your opinion here ?

    Kontakt doesn't run on the keyboard, you need to run it on your PC/Mac. You can then send the output from the computer interface to your MPC inputs if you want to sample it.

    Not only Kontakt doesn't run on the keyboard it doesn't run on an MPC Standalone neither… Or are you using the MPC as a controller for the PC software version?
