Poor preset loading times
I switched from a Dell XPS laptop with a 12th gen I7 and 64gigs of RAM to a 14th gen i7 Dell desktop with the same amount of RAM. Fourth gen NVMe SSDs on both. The desktop is certainly faster but maaaaaannn are presets loading so painfully slow. I don't get it. This thread with rudeness from JMgee talks about this issue…

Gross Incompetence with Maschine 3 Update (and S88 MKIII)
This is just a simply, short post to call attention to how absurd it is that a company the size of Native could release a basic OS update that we not only have to pay for on an already $1000+ piece of hardware, but that will literally brick your device if you proceed to update it as you cannot re-register a piece of…

Why design UIs that don’t work with your hardware?
Why does NI persist in designing its software so that it can’t be used on their own hardware? The Massive X player relies on an XY pad to really have any effect beyond being a presets browser. And now the neat looking Absynth presets mapper is unusable via NI hardware. As are all of the controls for the Synth. What is the…

Kontrol S61/S49 MK3 Velocity Response
Is anyone else having issues acclimating to the action of their S61/S49? I'm finding that the black keys have a much hotter velocity output than the white keys, especially when glissing from a black key to a white key with the same finger. I feel this difference and have this issue regardless of the velocity curve setting.…

Why default to 'Default Midi Template'?
Why does the screen on the device default to a ugly looking Default Midi Template screen? why not default to the logo when not connected to a daw or KK? At this price point i would have thought there would be more consideration given to this.

Query about AUTO button on Kontrol S61 MK3
When using Kontrol S61 MK3 with Logic Pro, the AUTO button only changes to automation mode from "Read" to "Touch". Should it open actual "Automation" view also (what we do using "A" key command on typing keyboard)? Or opening "Automation" view needs us to use typing keyboard only? I was expecting AUTO button to do both:…

Komplete Kontrol S61 mk3 rear panel screw size???
Can someone tell me what size screws are the two screws that hold the back jack panel? I purchased mine as new, but on clearance, from Guitar Center, and they stipulated a no-return policy. I checked the unit out, but evidently not rigorously enough. Unbeknownst to me (until I got the unit home), it was lacking the two…

Audio Export
When I play chords using a piano plugin like Alicia Keys for example, the note tails get cut off in the audio export, even though my MIDI notes are quite long. Do you have a solution?

How do I assign a C11 (Expression) to the modulation wheel, or to one of the knobs?
Hello, I would like to change the CC1 to CC11 (from Modulation to Expression). Is there an easy way to do this? I need to do this for the PLAY VSTi, and other VSTis that are not mapped with KK A25. I looked around but I am finding it very difficult to find a simple and easy way to do this. Failing this, is there a way to…

How to set preview volumes per-instrument
Different instruments have very different preview volumes. I know there is a volume slider at the bottom of the KK browser window but this affects all plugins equally. The issue is adjusting/balancing different instruments to have similar volumes. Some plugins, such as Noire, are extremely / dangerously loud compared to…

Anyone take the plunge and install macOS 26 (Tahoe)?
Anyone using macOS 26 successfully with Komplete Kontrol and Kontact on a Kontrol S series MK3 keyboard? It's annoying that it takes Native Instruments so long to give the green light to new OS installations. Just wondering if anyone on macOS 26 has run into trouble.
