Any tips and tricks, or templates that do cool stuff with Logic Pro? (other than what it does out of the box?)

Number one trick is to create a template and split it down into octave zones, and then set each zone to a different colour to make your own key gradients.
This will be the default look of your keyboards light guide when outside of Kontakt/Komplete. I've currently got a nice pupley blue run across my keys when it starts up now! :)
Obviously, beyond that you can create a template for smart controls to help with third party/logic's own plugins. Or map buttons to control presets up/down for patch browsing within Logic's preset system.
Could create templates to specifically control stock instruments such as Alchemy, Retrosynth etc. too. Not sure anyone has uploaded any? I may do some later and upload if no-one has. You could have pages to specifically control filter, oscillators, envelopes etc.

My #1 suggestion is to have the curiosity of a 5 year old when you're auditioning sounds.
Do you also have Komplete Ultimate, or the version that comes with the MK3? Asking because a new version of Komplete is due this year (assuming past release schedules), which would give you a lot more things to play with going forward.
What are your favorite NKS plugins outside of Komplete?

Depending on your setup you may want to do what I did and get a small wireless keyboard and a small extra screen and maybe even a wireless mouse so once you start working on the new MK3 you can operate autonomously from your computer. That was the big game changer for me. My S88MK3 sits to my right from where I normally operate my computer. Once I load a project in the DAW I simply rotate in my chair and don't need to refer back to my computer and I have all my facilities right there in front of me pedals and all. It seems simple, but it's a HUGE productivity boost.

@Skijumptoes Nice, I will look into it, yeah id like to have some of my favourites stock stuff mapped, like stock eq or something like that. I will definitely check out the octaves colouring thing!
@BIF I have the standard one, and I am pretty happy with it! I am overwhelmed with sounds at the moment hahaha I am recently adding some Arturia classics synth emulation, I have the Juno and the mellotron, I may just ad couple more, just because they are clearly emulation of those instruments so I kind of chase a vibe and know exactly what I am looking for, but usually my NI stuff is more then enough and I do a lot of sound design myself, which is why I am not looking for sound, but tools.
@DunedinDragon that is genius, I did I little F.up hahah maybe I was better off with the S49 as I have a small space, however I wanted to be able to see the articulation keys of some instrument while able to play, but the S61 is hugeeeeee!! ahah it took all my desk, your set up is genius.
I have one more question for all of you guys, I didn't get my e-voucher yet, how long it took to get yours? I bought the keyboard last Saturday.

@donmaddonald i know that feeling of being overwhelmed with sounds! i have Komplete, plus the entire Arturia and uHe collections, and just got Roland cloud this week. absolutely silly. but fun!
More importantly - if you didn't get your e-voucher by this point in time, I would open a support ticket, and also I'll tag @Jeremy_NI as he may be able to help or direct appropriately.

Sorry but I'm no longer working on this because Logic controller mapping just sucks - it is so painful even for the simplest things. If anyone else can manage this then please do but I am not fighting this archaic interface.

@Kymeia It is possible to create a template for an audio fx? like the stock plug in I use the most is the eq, can I map the logic eq and have a template? or each instance has his own midi learning?
like each new eq would need his own template? I am very confused about this topic

Yes it is possible to create templates for anything that can be MIDI mapped. It's just I find the way of doing this in Logic to be over complicated and ended up feeling frustrated by it. Part of the problem is I can't see how to make a mapping stick so every time I load a particular device (instrument or effect) it comes into play. In Bitwig this is very easy but in Logic not so sure.

@Kymeia oh ok. I may start to look into it. (if there is a way)
