latest driver for S49 keyboard

Hi there, I have, I guess an older version of the S49. It hasn’t been a problem until I had to reinstall logic on the newest IOS Sequoia platform along with latest Logic Pro X. Now the keyboard is glitching out and is unstable. I can’t get it to connect by using it as a full control surface to browse the NI library. I had no problems before. The perform/transport section isn’t illuminated, as with the Navigate (browse etc). Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I don't think there's a fix for the latest Apple OSs unfortunately.

latest driver for S49 keyboard
As far as I know then N.I. keyboards are 'class compliant' on Mac OS and do not require a driver.
On Mac though then check that ALL NI apps including NTKDaemon and DAW have full disk access. : How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS
And quote Kymeia : if using Sequoia then N.I. apps must be added to the Local Network

Reset Logic :
Please close Logic and disconnect the keyboard and try the following:

MK1 keyboards aren't supported with Sequoia. If your keyboard has large colour screens it's either a MK2 or MK3. If it's the older version with the monochrome LCD screens then it's the older unsupported MK1 version. Once you know the version, let us know

KOMPLETE KONTROL S49 HW so it makes sense as I bought my keyboard new 9 years ago. Oh well, I guess there isn't a work around? I guess it had to happen sooner or later, but disappointing that NI can't provide a patch. So what to do, any ideas? Of course I can still use it but I lose all its functionality and can only use it as a keyboard. If there is anyway I can get it back to its full functionality, that would be great. Thanks all in advance.

Thanks everyone for their input and support. One of the suggestions that’s been made, is to roll back my Komplete Kontrol S49 (9 years old with light gauge) drivers. However, I’m very nervous to go backwards, especially since I’ve only now managed to get everything working with NI instruments with the latest Logic version and Sequoia. To clarify, my keyboard does work, but only as a midi keyboard, not as a control surface, which is all I’m really concerned about. To this end, can anyone recommend what control surface I can use to suit this purpose to gain quicker access to the Native suite? I have a friend that has asked whether I’ve considered the bundle Native Instruments Maschine Mikro Mk3 with Monark and Reaktor Prism Softwares, along with the Komplete Kontrol M32 Controller Keyboard. Not sure that I need the keyboard of course as my old S49 works fine for that, either or as neither seem to break the bank, whereas a brand new S49 would. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated as I really don’t want to unravel the stability of my Mac at this stage.

If you want to get back normal function with Komplete AND the MK1 - you must use Komplete Kontrol 2.9.6. Which I believe still works OK in Sequoia.
Other than that - it's off to the MKIII and Komplete Kontrol v3.x - but you know what that means ($$$)
These are your only choices.

You can always get the Komplete Start package, You get a selection of software and sample libraries and can download from here -
Rolling back Komplete Kontrol isn't likely to work as the hardware itself isn't supported under Sequoia, although it might be worth a try.

Hmmm…I have read of some folks using the MK1 and KK 2.9.6 and Sequoia.
Like this?

Pretty sure this works just fine.
