Stuck with "How to set up your Kontrol S-Series MK3?" guide
I've registered my keyboard in Native Access by entering the serial number, next step says that I should look for "hardware connection services", and inside Native Access there is no such application. And even though I registered my keyboard with NA by entering serial number it's till in that mode and showing this screen…

Firmware update progress bar?
I just finished updating to the latest firmware from 0.2.8 to 1.5.3 and although it took a bit over an hour it was successful. I would like to suggest adding in a progress bar to provide some state of progress during the elapsed time. Maybe some messaging within the Updater along the way to help with the long update times…

Midi controller (or advice) for articulations
I’ve got an S61. Often, the key switches for articulations are way up or down the keyboard, as shown in these two pics. How do others use these? Could I say get a small key cheap two octave keyboard and use that just for the articulations or use something like a Novation launch pad or korg nano? thanks

MK3 Keyboard S61 freezing when going from DAW to BROWSE
My MKS S61 is freezing when I go from daw mode to browse mode. I can't control any volume or anything else. I have a Mac Studio with the M2 chip. I'm starting to think these keyboards are not for the public. I had a difficult time installing the firmware update. I'm using logic ProX. Any help would be appreciated.

S61 MK3 Kontrol doesn't work in Cubase Pro 12
Hello, I just bought a Komplete S61 MK3 midi controller keyboard by Native Instruments and for some reason, only in Cubase, the light guide and play assist doesn’t work. It’s always stuck in midi mode. The whole point of this keyboard is to take advantage of the light guide and play assist features. I have a rather large…

Komplete Kontrol S61 MK3 power and firmware update big problem
We have bought 2 of the mentioned keyboards. None of them worked properly out of the box. Without a USB C Port with enough power you must buy a capable USB C charger for power. I dont understand why NI is not giving a USB C charger , because the old S61 has a power supply in the box. With Win 10 on different PCs we won´t…

Duplicate order: charged twice for S61
I was absolutely SHOCKED to learn, after purchase but before delivery of product, that NI Customer Service is below Poor. It is insultingly Poor and Non-Existent. It is not timely, there is no system in place to support good customers. I am in the process of CANCELING MY ENTIRE ORDER because the Customer Service is SO…

Kontrol S61 mk3 not communicating with Mac Studio.
I'm stuck on the screen with the serial number. I've used the USB cable provided by NI. I've used a powered hub with the USB C cable provided by NI with a qualifying USB C cable, not help. I've followed all of the guidance online. If NI is going to institute a hardware recognition program, it needs to work. This is…

S61 MK3 USB Cable Issues
A lot of people have been reporting issues with KK not recognizing MK3 keyboards, having firmware updates. I've had a few of these and I feel pretty confident that the source of these issues for some people is the factory supplied USB cable. As it seems to cause all of the above issues. For me it doesn't happen every…

Komplete Kontrol S MK3 LED Ring Functionality
What are all the functions of the LED ring around the main encoder? From what I've seen so far it just indicates left, right, down, up movements and shows the selected color. I'm trying to think of some potential additional functionality that might be useful. It'd be cool if it: -Moved around the circle as you turned the…
