I have KOMPLETE KONTROL S88 MK3. Its LED light is still on when I'm sleeping. I want to make sleep mode work automatically when I haven't used it for a certain period of time. How can I turn on auto sleep mode? Help me 🙏😭

    Hello,

    there is no auto sleep mode, you can turn it off manually with the switch on the back, or it powers down with your computer like in my case. If you have an external power brick for the keyboard you could use a master/slave distribution box. With the computer as master of course.

    Add my vote to have another method to power off the S88 MK3 … many of us have the keyboard on a tray under our workstation and getting to the power button can be VERY difficult given the button is on the back of the unit under a lip. Can't for the lift of me understand why NI placed the power button is such a BAD location?? My KORG PA5X simple to turn on, not so much for NI S88.

    And why no sleep mode or power down the LEDs/Display after so many minutes of inactivity?

    NI have some great concepts and ideas, but sometimes they really just miss the most basic of features/functionality.

    Yeah, been a feature requested since the MK1 to have the thing switch off automatically after no key press or anything, even if just the screen and LEDs but alas, never considered and likely never will be.
