Maschine 3 and Komplete Control S49 MK2
Hi Everyone, I have Maschine hardware controller and Komplete Kontrol S49 mk 2 that integrates well with Maschine 2 software. I have deliberately not purchased S49 mk 3 because of loss of functionality.
Does anyone know if Maschine 3 software still integrates properly with the older S series controllers? I've seen Maschine 3 on videos with the new KK keyboards and it isn't a patch on how maschine 2 works with S49 mk 2s

yes it’s supported
Maschine 3 software functions without hardware but also works with the following Maschine pad controllers:
- Maschine Jam
- Maschine Mikro MK3
- Maschine MK3
- Maschine Studio
- Maschine+ in controller mode
- Maschine+ in standalone mode compatibility will be added ASAP. Currently projects created on Maschine+ in Maschine 2 format will open in Maschine 3, but not vice versa.
- Supported Kontrol keyboard controllers:
- Kontrol M-series
- Kontrol A-series
- Kontrol S-Series MK2
- Kontrol S-Series MK3

Maschine 3 has the same integration with Kontrol S MK2 as Maschine 2. We didn't remove anything.

Has it been tested? I have the KK S61 MkII and Maschine 3, and everything works perfectly except the keybed does nothing running Maschine 3 standalone. The controller is fine as it still runs everything as normal, it’s just not playing nice with Maschine 3.

Yes. The integration sounds like it's working. Separately to that, it sounds like you have a MIDI issue. Perhaps routing or setup? @Jeremy_NI

The S61MK2 works excactly the same in Maschine 3 as in Maschine 2 including keybed and light guide.
I think you have to check the MIDI settings in the preferences inside Maschine 3. There should be the INs and OUTs enabled for the S61MK2

Check the MIDI inputs in the preferences and make sure the S61 mk2 is selected as the MIDI input.

Thanks for the answers, I'll go ahead and upgrade confidently. But that brings another question… the mark 3 keyboard has some wonderful extra capabilities, especially individual key after touch. Great for performance. Is NI's intention to raise the mark 3 integration to the same level as with the mark 2? And if not and in future I bought a mark 3, would there be any issue with having both keyboards plugged in at the same time to make good use of both of the advantages?

what about S49 Mk1? In the new maschine 3 software, nothing works, I can play the sounds but arp button now does nothing and none of the encoders are mapped to anything like they where in Maschine 2, it basically has no control over maschine 3 at all.

the mk1 isn’t supported in maschine 3

looks like I’ll be sticking with maschine 2 software for now then until they disable it and I’m forced to buy a KK mk3 🤦🏻♂️

i have a studio and a jam both supported in Maschine 3 but won’t upgrade because my kk mk1 doesn’t work. It was easy to keep it functional and keep customer happy . Worst choice they ever made from an ethical point of view. If I upgrade for 29€ I lose a great keyboard. I’ll stick to Maschine 2
