Kontrol 2024 outlook: what was, what now, what next?

    @Matthew_NI Any update coming on the M32 or A/S25? I love the affordability of either of these and I’ve been actually trying to decide for years on a MINI keyboard and found these units. For me I’m trapped between the feel of the longer keys on the S25, and the portability + more keys of the M32. If the next release was a M32 with similar screens as the A25, I’d take it in a heartbeat. Is there a release date or any ideas what it might be next?


    Thank you

    Thank you. These instructions however are for restoring browser icons. My issue is the Kontrol screen instrument-picture once the instrument is opened. I’m wondering if this is something that Arturia just didn’t get around to or if it’s a bug in the Kontrol software.

    Yes, I know but this also helped me with the image on the keyboard-display.

    Thank you for your answer. Yes I know I can change volume with the DAW, but that is not the problem. I have to manually drag the slider of each instrument within the software, whilst standing on stage. I'd like to avoid that as the screen and buttons on the s88 should be enough to control a simple setting like that. Now I'm bound to the plugins that have that option 'from the box'

    I happy if it becomes open and understand the time line. It would be great and very user friendly if implemented. Thanks again for the reply

    The roadmap is deliberately focussed on updates to in-market products. I cannot reveal anything about hardware plans, if any.

    I love the new Komplete Kontrol interface! I use it for managing/favoriting/tagging ALL of the presets of ALL of my VSTs that live outside of my Ableton Live DAW. I like KK's NKS integration with Arturia, u-He, Spitfire, and Heavyocity. I've also added a number of non-NKS VSTs to the User section (Analog Lab Pro, BA-1, bx_oberhausen SEM, Steinberg Halion/Padshop/Retrologue/GrooveAgent, Vital, Zebralette(s), and XLN).

    I've written a few Python programs that help me to inventory my KK VST assets and decide which products to maintain or remove from KK based on how many presets I actually like for each VST. I recently reduced the number of VSTs within KK from 139 to 70, getting rid of VSTs that I just don't like the sounds of.

    Another Python program that I wrote provides me with one random but "favorited" preset for each KK Sound Type and Sound Subtype. I run this program at the start of a new composition to give me fresh sounds to work with. This mines the data in the Komplete Kontrol database. I've attached an image that focuses on just Synth Sound Types and their subtypes...

    I wanna give a shout out to the yeoman's work that Freelance Soundlabs does https://www.freelancesoundlabs.com/ to allow for easier integration of 3rd party VSTs - excellent work!

    It's VERY nice that you guys are being more open about progress and goals for production, but I'm sure we are all wondering when Resizable GUI is coming? Or if it is even being worked on? For instance like with Battery 4. Is there any progress in this field???

    This thread is specific to the roadmap for Kontrol series of products - for which Komplete Kontrol does now support resizing in various ways.

    If you have questions about other products, please feel free to post them in the general area for Komplete on this forum. Thanks!

    Bring back touch strips

    Has 8 touch strips, What happened to the JAM touch strips?

    Bring back touch strips for 8 effects at the same time. Akai can do it?

    Lastly, this platform has eliminated what used to be frustrating exercise of patience when trying to get help from tech support on the phone. I didn't think it'll work for me. I was wrong. Everything that I'v wanted to know and much more, I find here. There's always somebody with my issue providing suggestions and often answers. To all you fellow musicians out there I SAY THANK YOU.

    One more reason why the people here and their needs should be taken in larger consideration ☺️

    Nice post 👍🏼

    Hello! Can you give an approximate date of when the update will be available to have the Midi template in the S61 MK3? I want to buy this keyboard, but I don't have much time and I need to see other options if the update is going to take a long time.

    Thanks in advance!
