S88 MK2 power on/off hardware question
Thanks. Note: Read no further if 1) these answers are already in the user guide that frustrates you 2) this question should be in another part of the community - and that frustrates you... 3) questions in general - frustrate you... As much as I love my S88, one thing I don't care for too much is the location of the power…

Can the S88 MK2 be bus-powered over USB-C?
Hey! Is it possible to run the S88 MK2 on bus-power when connected through a USB-C to USB-B cable? If so, is there a specific brand of cable I should buy? My MacBook Pro does not have any USB-A ports, so I cannot use the cable that came with the S88. I have two USB-C to USB-A cables, but neither will allow the S88 to power…

MacOS Sonoma and Compatibility (running well - feedback !)
I recently read through many posts regarding compatibility with Sonoma before upgrading the operating system. I run a Mac Studio M2 Max with 14.3.1 now installed. I am very pleased with the results. While I still await to hear the official word from Native Instruments I will say my software runs smoothly. I use Logic Pro X…

Fruity NILA - integration for FL Studio with S-Series, A-Series and M-Series keyboards
FRUITY NILA provides support for the Native Instruments M-Series, the A-Series and the S-Series with FL STUDIO. By using the Native Instruments Host Integration protocol instead of the limited MIDI mode Native Instruments provides, the controller acts like as if it was connected to Ableton or Logic Pro X. The Komplete…

S88 Mk2 transport controls not working, and lightguide and screens stuck in different KK instance.
I'm building an orchestral template in Ableton and noticed none of my transport controls or main coder nob is working as it should be. They simply don't do anything when pressed. In addition, the screens and light guide stay on a previous instance on Komplete Kontrol I had pulled into my session, even when I start working…

How to save repedal and half pedal settings in Noire?
I have recently changed to a continuous sustain pedal. I was able to change the pedal settings in Komplete Kontrol and it works when I enable repedal and half pedal in Noire. Otherwise, it turns the pedal on and off constantly at the bottom of the range. Every time Noire loads, it resets to repedal/half pedal "off", and I…

Is it worth purchasing an S88 MK2 now?
Hello all, I’m looking to upgrade my midi keyboard to something with 88 keys and weighted - the S88 MK2 caught my eye and I’m considering it. However after looking on forums and reviews etc, I’ve seen that it’s no longer supported and people are reporting issues. Is it worth buying now? (The MK3 is out of my budget).

No aftertouch?
Is it true that Maschine doesn't receive aftertouch? Even though they've been selling $1000 Maschine-integrated keyboards with aftertouch for 8 years? This should be an outrage.

Is there any way to disable light guide on KK S88 MK2?
Hi folks, I've read numerous threads on the old forums about this very question. Those discussions were from 2 or more years ago. So came very close to programatically turning the light guides on and off. The closest I came to finding a working solution (also from over 2 years ago) was an app called qKontrol…

Play, record and stop button will play sounds instead of triggering functions in EXISTING sessions
Hi, before you link me the FAQ post regarding this problem: I've seen it. It doesn't answer my question. Here's my issue: My Komplete S88 will trigger above mentioned functions just fine when working on a session for the first time. However, once I close Ableton and come back to it later, pressing the corresponding buttons…

My S88Mk2 triggering macros on/off by itself
Hi, In standalone this does not happen. However, after recent update whenever I load KK14 in Cubase 12 PRO as soon as I press 'play' - 'record' - 'stop' - 'metro' it triggers settings of any given loaded instrument. What I have found weird is that although in each instrument its a different feature (reverb here, tom volume…

Mounting S88 MK2 to a desk? Can I support S88 from beveled "lip" without support in middle?
Hi want to mount my S88 underneath my studio desk. After a lot of research and youtube videos one of the best solutions seems to be the bracket (see image attached). Due to clearance issues I don't want to put a full piece of wood/drawer underneath. Instead I would attach this bracket (with re-enforcement via a strip of…

Difference between S88 Mk2 from 2018 and 2020
Is there any difference between the same keyboard from 2018 or 2020 regarding software compatibility with Kontakt or anything else? Also does the keyboard function as a workstation for other sound sources (e.g. Opus, Spitfire)? Thanks!
