Komplete Kontrol MK1 VST3 in Ableton
Hi NI.
Is it possible for you to supply an .adg file for VST3 for use in Ableton so we can have track focus with VST3 and KK MK1?

Have you checked to see if it works with the AU version ? (in the past there appear to have been difference between the VST3 and the AU version on at least some MAC computers)(Though not having MAC myself I wouldn't know and also have no idea if it is of use to you anyway or with respect to the specific issue here)

not that I think that it will help you with your issue but I looked it up yesterday and there appear to have been more discussions with respect to Sxx MK1 and VST3 features support on Ableton and MAC.
Not suggesting that these discussions necessarily covers your issue, more meant as examples of discussion on Sxx MK1 , MAC , Ableton and VST3 , but I can not tell if you could expect 'host integration' to become better- though the safer guess appear to be probably not ! 🤔 :

The problem is real simple. For the host integration with Komplete Kontrol MK1 and Ableton; NI supplied these instrument racks as .adg file you had to use with the VST or AU KK Plugin in order for track focus to work. Since VST3 was added to KK, NI has not made an .adg file for VST3. That must be an oversight on their behalf but it makes the VST3 unusable for Ableton users. This is also mentioned at the end of the last link you posted.

Sorry , I am not knowledgeable about the finer nuances of the matter , I just noticed that there were chatter about who's fault/problem/responsibility the lack of among others .adg files was. I simply have no opinion on the matter myself as I do not have the sufficient understanding of the matter to have an opinion !.
sorry that I were not of more help , I can not fix the problem only point you to the discussions on the matters..

No need to be sorry, I appreciate your effort :)

If you a Ableton user avoid AU, stick to VST/VST3.
The location / download for the .adg's is right there written on the guide article:

You misunderstand. There is no .adg supplied for VST3 in that article and recommendation is to move away from VST to have future companility in projects, i have no choice but to use AU.

If you edit the VST .adg and replace the plugin with the VST3 it doesn’t work

Oh, I see, my bad.
If I remember correctly from my MK1 days what made those Instrument Racks special was the "NIKBXX" parameter mapping, so if you just replace the Plugin it will remove it.
I did a trick to force that mapping into a new .ADG with VST3, no guarantee it will work as I have no KKS Mk1 to test, try it and report back please.
