Change names assigned to knobs (and displayed on LCD) on KK S88 MKII

IvoryKeys88

Hi there,

When using the Komplete Kontrol software, I am able to assign instrument related. functions to the 8 knobs on my KK keyboard. For example, the instrument might have a "Dynamics" knob, and I can map that to a knob (let's say the knob labelled CC14) on the keyboard.

Is there a way to change the names displaying on the keyboard? So that, for example, rather than "CC 14" I could change it to "Dynamics"?

I see I can change the knob names in the KK software MIDI settings. But this doesn't pass through to the keyboard.

Is there a way to push that through to the keyboard, so it changes the name displayed on the LCD?

Thank you.

So the way you should work with templates for plugins is first load the plugin. Next, open the control page edit section as you have done and then third, delete ALL the pages that were created by default.

Add the first page

Then enable the control "learn"

Then move your control you want to map.

After that you can label them how you like then File - Save As. Load your plugin now using the saved preset instead of by the plugin menu. You should be able to do this in standalone or within a DAW

I notice that often my knobs count in the opposite direction of that knob on the instrument. E.g. 0 to 100 on the software knob, ends up being 127 to 0 on the keyboard LCD.

Never seen that as the case so would need an example of what instrument you use but possibly you are using MIDI Templates instead of plugin mapping (NKS) templates

Is there a way to change the value assignment displayed on the LCD? For example, let's say the instrument has a Volume knob, and it goes from -12dB to +12dB. Yet the knob on the keyboard goes from 0 to 127. Am I correct in thinking there's no way to make it display -12 to 12, or perhaps 0 to 24? (I tried the later by changing the range to this, but that meant it only moved the software knob from -12 to -5.4 (since the software is moving in 0.1 increments).

Again, in NKS mode whatever data is sent from the plugin will appear on the LCD controls. This is up to how the developer communicates the data to the host tho as some controls act like macros so simply have a 0-127 range. MIDI mode only shows 0-127 and no way to change that.

Depending on the instrument you can check my signature for NKS libraries that are already available to save you some time or also check the "User NKS" thread on this forum for additional libraries and templates available.
