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

I occasionally use play assist, but I'd say I'm more like 80% just playing without assistance. I do see it as a very beneficial tool on things like a Fender Rhodes keyboard as it fits the style better. A lot of the libraries I use have more specific "helper" presets that better fit the style and function of the instrument.

As far as user feedback, that's a pretty hard thing to gauge given what's on this forum is a very small sample size of the overall user base and we don't see any of the data gleaned from things like market focus groups which may indicate an overall lower interest in a feature than what might be represented by a limited number of very vocal members of this forum.

One example which surprised me was the emphasis on getting templates working on the MK3 since I've never been a big user of them. But apparently a lot of people do use them extensively so I might pay more attention to them when they become available.

I bought mine on 10th January for £1069

@Matthew_NI , since you guys are still working on MIDI templates and such, is it safe to assume no work has yet been done on accessibility for the MK3 line? Is it being pushed back even further in the cue? It's one thing to be waiting for missing features on a product, but it's a whole different thing to not be able to use the thing… :) Have a few friends who are also waiting on accessibility implementation to make their purchase, but now with Ableton's recent work on Live 12 accessibility, the Push controllers are starting to get the attention of visually impaired users.

OK, that would be very useful ergonomically. Great idea 👍

I would also like the DAW button to be a switch: pressed again, it should take the keyboard back to where it was before being pressed = to MIDI, plugin or browser screen of currently selected track.

Yeah but afaik NI also collects usage data within their software, so it's safe to assume they know what parts of their software are used by how many people. But the intention behind the way people use things is harder to quantify.

I believe that's a voluntary option the user can configure. I know I have mine turned off.

I like it as it is = mutes and solos on buttons. I change tracks with keys on keyboard or with trackpad myself. All I want would be the choice of which function should be the default one and which should be accessible with Shift button. To be able to choose in Settings if Solo is the default or Mute is the default and then the other one would be available with Shift button.

hey guys - is it possible to change blue color light guide while im in komplete kontrol? in hardware settings it is Fuchsia but everytime im in Komplete Kontrol it changes to blue…
