Komplete Kontrol 3.40 and Novation LK29 MK4 hardware integration test

The pickup mode in KK should prevent parameter jumps, have you tried with it enabled? Are you using KK standalone or as a plugin within a DAW, if so is that within Ableton? (I'll try it myself with an LK Mk4).

If you want them to sync without any movement then the only way to achieve that is if KK sent out the MIDI data value to the hardware (Which it doesn't). Or NI added MIDI Relative mode mappings (Which as far as i'm it doesn't support). :(

I'm pretty sure that it's because Arturia want to market their own solutions (Analog Lab).

You can set it up in the Komplete Kontrol standalone. Edit → Preferences → MIDI → Choose Takeover mode "Pickup".

I tested with KK standalone, and yes I expect a better integration so I don't need to turn the knobs up and down to pickup by myself, it's one of the main reason I use controller with endless rotary knobs, pretty disappointed with this. :(

Yes but I believe using "Pickup mode + endless rotary knobs" is the most irrational approach. It's highly inefficient and not intuitive. (It makes sense with non-endless rotary knobs only, imo)

What would your suggestion for a better solution be?

Relative control mode of course, you haven't got to worry about pickup or any of that nonsense - it's been around for decades, and is the prefered use of endless rotaries. But KK, for whatever reason, doesn't support it.

Absolutely agree, how can they call it innovation when they’re skipping over something this fundamental? It's not "seamless integration" and more like "seamless frustration 2025" to me.
