Komplete Kontrol full screen and resizable?

It is 8/1/2023 and still no change to the resizing issue. As well the scanning issues are still la problem.

As a new user and someone who just purchased a Komplete S88 I'm already immediately feeling disappointment and frustration with these issues. This may lead to me going elsewhere if the issues get in the way to much. I just don't understand why such alarge and well known andloved compnay would ignore persistent issues. It would cost the company far far less money to fix these problems than it would in the I'm sure hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost sales simply because of a lack of care. At least that's the feeling users will have when nothing gets done... I bought the product because I love it and it's potential and I don't want to be forced away. I hope these things get fixed and as well other issues don't show up...

Well - you are only complaining (as all the others have) due to an insistence on using (presumably) a "'non-standard" 4K resolution when this software was designed for (and with 95% of the world still using) HD (1920x1080).

Komplete Kontrol works perfectly here on my HD layout and I have the s61MK2 keyboard.

While I "get" that resizing would be fantastic for all - calling this an "issue" - makes it sounds (to me) like the world owes you something.

Jester hits it - yes it's a limitation (but one easily AND instantly fixed) by pressing a button or two on your display. Just because you own such a display does not mean the world (or NI) needs to fall in line to make sure you are okay.

Rewriting KK from scratch is what is really needed here - and that is a not "fix" by any means.

It's a full-scale project that will not be done by 9/1/2023 or 10/1/2023 etc and one that only NI will decide is necessary.

My complaints with KK software have NOTHING to do with using a 4k monitor.

KK software is poorly designed for use at ANY screen resolution. The panel layout and results selection behavior is shocking in how anyone ever gave approval for its development in the early stages.

Zero talent for creating a good user experience went into the creation of KK software.

Well - despite your angle (and tone) here - KK was clearly not designed with you (specifically) in mind.

Use it or don't but it seems to work fine for me (and thousands of others).

Hacking on it all day is old and tired. It is what it is (for now).

You (and I) have no idea what's cooking (or not cooking) in the NI labs when it comes to KK.

Maybe they will make changes - maybe they won't - but that still does not make any difference in the grand scheme of things.

Case in point - from my chair - I do not care about tagging at all or what it does or does not do. I create - that is all.

Plus - given the fact you can just slap any NI instrument right into a track in your DAW - why even beat yourself up over KK - just ignore it.

Now - does KK need work - of course it does. But for now - KK does what it does - and it does just fine for me (and my workflow).

If it does not work for you - that is your problem to overcome (or not).

The “it’s not a problem for me” post in threads raising a problem/issue/request is so pointless. Why even come into the thread in the first place! ;)

edited to add: that is a rhetorical question—I would not be interested in your answer.

What is truly pointless is the nonstop whining (and a thread every 72 hrs) about "resizing" KK. And Battery. And Kontakt ad nauseum.

If/when (OR ever) that NI decides to change/rewrite/enhance KK is when (and only when) any of this matter.

It goes without saying that NI is certainly painfully aware that some users have issues. Why don't we simply let that play out instead of having thread after thread clog up this board with users threatening to sell their NI software and hardware because a date on the calendar has passed?

Like that is really going to make NI work on this that much faster.

While everyone is entitled to their "position" on what they think about KK - we are all different and what's important to you (slagging their implementation or your angles on tagging) does not necessary mean anyone else wants that. Like this tidbit for example:

"The fact that you have no concern for the screen presence of KK puts you in very limited box of the potential of NKS"

The only "limited" box in this statement is your belief that people care about the potential of anything - not just KK in this example.

I (and I do not think I am alone here) purchased my S61MKII (and Komplete ULT) for one primary purpose - to make it easy for a non-keyboard doodler like me - make my music easier/better or in most cases - even possible?

Did any thought of "potential" of NKS enter into my mind when buying all this stuff? Zero. Do I think it's still cool now? Of course. Does it hold me back or crash or kill my creativity - no.

"Potential" = means nothing as it is merely a future state not yet proven.

Any actual "potential" for a NKSv2 is only possible if the product is worthwhile AND the rest of the world joins the party. Even NKSv1 remains thin on "real world" participants.

To be very clear - like anyone in here - I am always jazzed for "what's next" like say NKS 2.0 or KK3 in the future AND if it helps me be even better - great.

That said - I will venture my guess that NI knows full well what "limitations" exist within the KK world (from resizing to tagging to whatever else ails the userbase) and also what they intend (or do not intend) to do about it.

However - until the day NI actually does something about these (perceived) limitations to KK (as your irritation could be my normal workflow) - there is zero value in complaining about what I "don't have".

Especially when what I "don't have" might never arrive.
