In Komplete kontrol hell!l

Michael Terry · 2024-10-04T07:24:10+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

so, i moved up to an s61 KK keyboard coming from a 5 yr old 88 key KK keyboard. Went with the 61 key for space reasons. Anyway, I’m hoping for a more efficient system with the larger screen etc and an overall upgrade on the software…. Whoa! What a miserable day.
im working in studio one and LUNA… LUNA is completely unusable with the new keyboard and software. So let’s talk about studio one. Moving from track to track is painfully sluggish.

the expression pedal is not recognized by studio one no matter how I configure it. Loading time is insanely slow( solid state drives) midi 1.0 or midi 2.0? And the choices for choosing the function of the s61… main, ext, and DAW and midi 2.0 or 1.0…. Anybody using studio one and the new KK software and keyboards out there?

So , can I conclude that you are good for now and that the present problems can be considered as solved ?

Hey @Michael Terry Sorry to hear about all these troubles with the new keyboard. What's your operating system? On your profile it says you're on MacOS 10.15. The new keyboard and newer version of the Komplete Kontrol software require MacOS 13 as a minimum:

https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keyboards/kontrol-s49-s61-s88/specifications/

Studio One is one of the supported DAWs for host integration, you need to have Studio One 6.5 and follow these steps: How to Integrate Your Kontrol Keyboard with Your DAW

Luna is not one of these supported DAWs, the keyboard can't conrtol the DAW like for Studio One, Logic or Cubase. What are the issues exactly?

The ports and which ones to select are explained in the first pages of the manual:

thanks Jeremy, big day today! I’ve gotta figure this stuff out. I’m in Mac OS Sonoma so no worries there. Where do I update my profile?

Michael Terry

Hey Jeremy… you were a big help. In studio one I'm rockin' based on your info. Thanks!!

The only thing not working is my cc11 expression pedal which worked just fine 2 days ago with my s88 KK.

I'll check out the trouble shooting guide you sent.

Michael Terry

whoa, interesting… Going into the cc11 expression pedal settings. I don't get any midi message when I move the pedal in continuous mode…. however when I set it to switch mode, I do get a midi signal and in studio one control link says I' turning portamento off and on.

Matthew_NI

have you run the calibration process for the pedal? this would happen on the kontrol device itself.

Michael Terry

yes sir…about 20times

Where do I update my profile?

I have updated your profile to say Mac OS Sonoma but have been unable to place a version number since you did not supply that information.

Otherwise : Click your avatar picture on page top right , then select the "Account & Privacy Settings" below shown profile name and email address , then on the right side select the "Edit Profile Fields" , then you can edit fields on the left.

ok, I'm back in hell again… studio one changing tracks very slowly…. Could this have something to do with the two midi versions… 1.0 and 2.0? I'm assuming that 2.0 is the way to go … then there's this whole thing about deleting the keyboard icon within audio midi set up. Could this be anymore confusing to us left brain musicians?

I'm assuming that 2.0 is the way to go

I am no expert but I'd say no ! , you ought not use Midi 2.0 as setting for your keyboard unless that you have a specific reason for doing so that requires you to do so. I am no expert but I have seen several examples here where peoples problem have been that they needed to set their keyboard to Midi 1.0 which it for some strange reason were not.

then there's this whole thing about deleting the keyboard icon within audio midi set up.

I am not sure why you quote this but I know that on Mac then some problems have required people to remove the keyboard from the hardware list in the OS to let it be added again. I am neither an expert on Mac nor on Komplete S-Series so if others have more experience then take their advice. Matthew_NI and Jeremy_NI in the above IMO is as close as you will get to experts on N.I. here.

So I hope JEREMY ( @Jeremy_NI) reads this note…. Finally I’ve had a few hrs in studio one where things are stable. I wound up upgrading to the latest Sonama 14.7… the expression pedal cc 11 still doesn’t work but at this point I’m afraid to touch anything. If anyone out there is running studio one v6 along with the latest S SERIES KK KEYBOARDS successfully pls let me know. I’m afraid I’m one of those guys who’s running a lot of different hardware and software from multiple companies and conflicts are inevitable… thanks to the folks out there who are helping me out.

Michael Terry

expression pedal problem solved… mostly human error. When calibrating the pedal… heel down is is down and toe down is up…. I was doing the opposite.
