Hey folks, I know that the support for Maschine on the new Kontrol S Mk3 controllers is not there (so sad), not even basic control as if it were a DAW. However, I was under the impression that at least you could load in Kontakt and still get the hardware interface goodness.
What I am noticing is that when you load Kontakt into Maschine, the Kontrol mk3 does show the Kontakt instrument controls with browser and light guide, etc.. However, once you load a second Kontakt instance to another Instrument or Group, it switches to that new instance and there is no way to get back to the other instance.
You would think that switching the Group/Instrument in Maschine (i.e. giving focus to that Kontakt instance) it would then attach the Kontrol mk3 to that plugin... It does not. No way to use this with more than one instance of Kontakt it seems.
Is there a solution?
Oh, and... NI, come on... When are we getting at least basic integration with Maschine? I'm not asking for KKMk2 control, as I have a Maschine mk3 sitting right next to my controller. However, without at least the ability to control plugins as you can in Komplete Kontrol or Kontakt, it basically makes the new Kontrol mk3 pointless. I mean, you could at least let us load up KK as a plugin on Maschine and hook everything up that way... seems stupidly obvious as at least a bare minimum...
