Having problems with Kontrol S61 Mk3 and Komplete Kontrol Software

When using Komplete Kontrol standalone I find that all the Native Instrument Synths don't work. I have had the S61 Mk3 for two weeks.

But after creating some Midi Templates I notice the next day issues with all the Native Instruments Synths. There are no issues with any of the NKS products like "Arturia, Wave and others). Kontakt 8 works with all the software in standalone mode and in Logic Pro. I uninstalled all the software and re-installed it, but it still not working without issues. Today find issues with Komplete Kontrol in Logic Pro loaded on a track. Please see screenshots.

What plugins are you trying to load?

If these are Kontakt instruments do you have the Kontakt VST3 plugin installed and is it showing in the plugin menu?

I understand that you have uninstalled and reinstalled.

But have you opened the standalone Komplete Kontrol application and done a plug-in rescan?

I just read that Logic Pro doesn't use VST or VST3 plugins; I do see that NI uses them and they do show up in the Komplete Kontrol menu. At the same time I do for the first time get alerts that say plug can't be found. Thx for your reply.

Yeah it doesn't matter that Logic doesn't use them, you need VST3 installed for Komplete Kontrol (VST is irrelevant these days). Once installed ensure you have scanned everything in the standalone KK and Kontakt first.

I was trying to load any and all of the NI synth and keyboards. It seem like Komplete Kontrol wasn't getting a signal (midi) from Kontrol S61 Mk3. It was working but now its not and I can't figure out why. I rescan all the plugin after I reinstall them.

Sounds like you need to add hostintegrationagent to local network

if you’re not getting any midi from the keyboard into KK check that the keyboard is enabled for midi inout input in the KK preferences.

I’m trying to get everything working normally again, but now Komplete Kontrol (KK) can’t find the plugins for any NI synths. I checked the VST3 folder, and Analog Dreams is missing.

I also tried giving Full Disk Access to NIHostIntegrationAgent, but that didn’t fix it. When reinstalling Analog Dreams, the plugin isn’t being installed in the VST3 folder, and I’m not sure why.

This issue only happens in KK standalone mode—Kontakt standalone works perfectly. Since I just purchased the Kontrol S61 Mk3, I want to fully use its features.

Why aren’t NI synth plugins being installed in the VST3 folder?

Is there a way to manually get and install the missing plugin? If so, how?

Any help would be appreciated!

Analog Dreams isn't a plugin, it's a Kontakt library so load it in the Kontakt plugin or standalone

Make sure you have the VST3 of Kontakt 8 installed
