Kontrol S88 mk3

I have connected my S88 to my pc and also the power supply. I have registered the serial number, however, the firmware update software doesn’t recognise it. It also doesn’t appear in Device manager.

Be sure to be using latest version of Native Access for your OS

Do you have the NI Hardware Connection Service installed? (How to set up your Kontrol S-Series MK3)

Else try unplug the keyboard

then uninstall Hardware Connection Service if already present and remove/delete drivers

then reattach keyboard and reinstall Hardware Connection Service using latest version of Native Access for your OS

Otherwise , you might want to get a self powered USB-C hub with PD (power delivery) and quality cables that support both power and data transfer.

Or alternatively try an USB-C to A port adapter and then also attach an USB-C PSU capable of PD (my personal suggestion is 20W to compensate for any eventual PSU quality issues)
