Komplete Kontrol S88MK3 question
My master keyboard : a Yamaha motif xs8 has broken down after 15 years. As a replacement I am thinking of a Kontrol 88 mk3. A beautiful device, although I am wary of that Fatar keybed with the well-known mechanical noises. Is it known whether there will be a successor for the Kontrol 88mk3 soon? I would of course find it…

New S88 mk2 key noise
Hi everyone, I took delivery of a brand new S88 mk2 yesterday but immediately noticed the keys don’t all sound the same mechanically. They are noisier at the extreme ends of the board. Bottom 6 notes and the top octave produce a plastic type click sound when pressed and released. The rest of the keys are basically silent.…

When using Ableton Live (windows 10, AMD 5950x) I open a new Komplete Control app on each track and open up different synths eg Massive on one and FM8 on another but switching through doesn't bring up any info on the s88 screens. I can switch between tracks using the mixer button on the s88 but there's no info on the…

Accessing key switches and articulations on Komplete S61
I am contemplating moving to an S88 vs my S61 MK1 to always have access to key switches and articulations, which are typically pre-programmed to the low or high end of the 88 not key range. Before I do this, which will also move me to hammer action vs. my preferred synth action key bed, have others found helpful work…

Cubase tracks not initiated on KK S88 until I press instance
I'm new forgive me :) I've done something wrong in setup and can't seem to get it back. When I use Cubase 12 on Mac and select a track, I can't play anything until I select Instance on the keyboard. I'm fairly sure I didn't start out this way. When I press instance the leds come on and all good to play. I switch to another…

S88 Mk2 Aftertouch/Touch Strip question
I just bought an S88 mk2 and the aftertouch doesn’t seem to have any noticeable sonic effect on any VSTis I’ve tried so far, including those made by NI (Massive X, Absynth). I’ve checked and it is transmitting aftertouch cc data, does anyone know why it doesn’t seem to be affecting instruments? Also similarly confused that…

buttons of the komplete kontrol S88
My buttons of the komplete kontrol S88 do not communicate with my Cubase transport buttons. On the internet I found that there should be a "DAW" in the midi port setup, but it doesn't show up at my system. It works well in Logic... Mac intel Montery 12.6.1 Does anyone have a solution for this? Cubase Pro 12 , I try…

How to stop all lights blinking
I just got an S88. When it's sitting idle, all of the LED's will blink at once. It happens every few minutes. I'm using it with Logic Pro on an Intel Mac. Logic Pro is running, but not the active application. I've found other questions when the lights flicker individually. That's not my case.

Are users finding that a Roland EV5 expression pedal with S88 keyboard actually works?
I have tried to follow the instructions on setting up the EV5 as in the manual, but I cannot get it to work. I note that it was rated as compatible with the S88 and after a few years of being boxed up, recently took it out of retirement. After setting up, I find that in the 'down' position, I get a clear 'maximum' signal,…

Will there be an open beta for Komplete Kontrol soon?
It's already been shared information that KK is next in line for Apple Silicon native support. With this being the case, I would hope that NI would share an open beta for it very soon. This would not only provide useful feedback for NI before release, but it would also be a good faith gesture to concerned users that the…

Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2 Light Guide Turns Blue when Undo/Redo button is pressed?
This issue was posted (below) on the old NI Forum back in April 2020 and I have been unable to find a solution.

Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a fix?…
