Is there a way to automatically switch DAW Templates on S-Mk3 per track/open window?
I work in Nuendo, and I'm wondering if there is a way for my S88 Mk3 to automatically change which DAW template I'm using depending on what track I'm selected on? Or even, what open window I'm in — like a plugin. This is for non-Kontakt / non-Kontrol instruments and plugins.

Ableton 12 Device Control S88 MK3
Hi, this question is probably asked frequently but I wanted to be sure about it before deciding on which keyboard to get. (clicked through a few pages and did not find anything recent) I am a Ableton user and heavily rely on its built in effects and instruments and really love how the S88 MK3 lets you control the Mixer and…

For the S series MK3: A small Helper App for modifying .kmt template files
Encouraged by the product team's post, I've recently built a very small helper app (browser based), to give a simple front-end to things that I used to do via editing the .kmt files by hand. Update 2025-04-10: Created a new version of the app: It can: Add or change the image file for a template Create/change template names…

Way to set values to unity?
On the Kontrol Mk3 keyboards, is there a way to set a value to unity easily? Especially in DAW mode. So say I change the volume of something, and I want to bring is back to 0, or - even more useful - I am changing the pan and decide I don't like it, and want to bring it back to center. Is there any simple way to do this?

Komplete Kontrol as an insert plugin
Komplete Kontrol is cool. It still needs work to be more intuitive and less buggy, but it is cool. It's cool how we can put our own VST instruments and plugins in there and create our own custom mappings. And with the integration with the S-Mk3 keyboards, it makes it very fun to be able to adjust parameters of Native and…

Way to change keyboard to send to All Midi Channels in MIDI Mode?
I can't find an option when editing my MIDI templates, in the Keyzones area, to have the keyzone send to all MIDI channels. I am confused on how to set up a project where I have one synth on MIDI channel 1, one synth on MIDI channel 2, but then I want to use a Multi patch in the MIDI Templates to control both at once,…

Easier way/hack to switch between Volume and Pan in DAW mode on Mk3?
So I understand in the DAW mode on the Mark3, when you hold shift and nudge up on the 4D encoder, you can switch from Volume to Pan, and then nudge back down to get back to Volume. However, I'm wondering if there's any other setting or work around to quickly do pan? The nudge thing actually really annoys me, because I…

Kontrol S88 mk3 - Can I use templates to control a Kontakt instance and external synth using a split
A new video on Youtube posted by NI appears to show something I thought was NOT supported. That is, my understanding was that the din output to external synths was only active if the S88 was un-plugged from the host computer. Unfortunately this forum will not allow me to post a link. Very helpful - not. I'll buy an S88…

S88 MK3 "Looks like something went wrong" Error ruined my keyboard
The updater failed while updating my THIRD defective S88MK3 from Alto music and I couldn't get it to work. I read to try it on a wall socket (USB3 cable to the wall, instead of the computer) and the screen Zapped and went all white. I restarted it 500 times and all it does it stay white with glitchy lines. It fried out.…

Tracktion Waveform Free vs Native Kontrol with Kontrol MK3
Hi everyone, Since its release, I’ve been longing for a Kontrol S88 MK3. However, as I’ve been using Reaper for roughly 17 years, it’s important for me that it works well with it. I’ve read in several places, including here on the forum, that Komplete Kontrol often freezes or crashes when used with Reaper. Because of this,…

Add a MIDI Program Change (MIDI PC) button support on Komplete Kontrol MIDI Mode
In MIDI Mode on the Komplete Kontrol Keyboard MK3 - as default (or as an option) allow MIDI PC (Program Change) on the Next and Previous button. Currently the buttons are not in use in Midi mode so it should be an issue to add. This makes sense for those using Expression Maps in Cubase with Program Change as a protocol to…

I can't use all the features of my Kontrol S88 MK3
I think I didn't install the latest drivers for the kontrol s888 mk3. I noticed that the buttons to control the DAW don't light up when I'm on Ableton Live or FL Studio (play, loop, record, DAW...etc). There are options I don't see in the MIDI settings. To explain it to you better. In the MIDI settings I should see this:…
