S88 on Monterey 12.5, Mac Studio M1 + Pro Tools
Hi I've got S88, which I got specifically for using with multiple instances in my template. It worked fine when I was on my old iMac with Catalina. However, when I switched to the new Studio M1 (Monterey) S88 is unusable. It doesn't show instances in my template (Pro Tools), it doesn't let me browse, or view the keys - it…

Hi all, Newbie to the Community. Just been trying to get into using some of the awesome sounds within Kontakt Select 13 that came with my S88.

How do I turn OFF the transport controls in Studio One from being triggered by Komplete Kontrol S88?
The upper octave G and Ab, are assigned to rewind and FF respectively. The A is STOP, the B is RECORD. And if I play the keys too hard at a high veloicty, it creates random muting and soloing of tracks. It's maddening. I'm using this rig for work, and I'm un familiar with how to optimize the setup. PC: Windows 11. Any help…

When using Scale mode in S88 MK2, why does it still send the out of key notes to my DAW?
After some searching, I guess this is 'just the way it is' and yeah, I can create two MIDI tracks, using the output of one to create a second cleaned MIDI track but it's cumbersome and makes everything more complicated than it needs to be. Is there a reason it's like this? Maybe we could have an option to send only the 'in…

How to Clean/Fix Squeaky Key on S88?
I recently got an S88 and one of the keys is a bit squeaky. It feels like there is some slight rubbing plastic on plastic or maybe some dust got in there. Hard to tell and it is subtle but annoying enough that if it is an easy fix, I'd like to try to do something. Any suggestions?

Can we hope for a Komplete Kontrol A88?
Hi guys! As an ambitious hobby producer and composer I have to take care of my nuts. There are so much great (virtual) instruments out there. I can't get it all. 😌 But there's another thing - the hardware. I started out with a nice little peace of a midi keyboard - the M32. It's great - but small. 😝 Now I conclude, that…

Release Date of Ni Komplete Kontrol S88 Mk3?
Hello, I am looking for a master keyboard with 88 keys. I bought the S88 Mk2 a few days ago, but it seems to have to be returned due to a defective product.
