Things that need to happen in Maschine
Some may consider this a wishlist, but for me, these are ideas for a more efficient workflow that should already be here, for all Maschine users. I would like to say now that I am excited about Maschine 3 as I have been producing using native instruments products for many years and have seen the leaps in how we…
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:…
Kontrol S88 MK3 - Transport Controls sending unwanted CC messages
Hello, I am running into an issue where my S88 mk3 is sending CC messages when using the keyboard's transport controls (ex. METRO button sends CC 23 with a value of 1, PLAY sends CC 16, STOP sends CC 20). This is causing issues on virtual instruments tracks where the loaded instruments respond to those CCs. I have tried…

my DAW control with A25 stopped working all of a sudden. no chances were made to any connections, everything seems fine in the Cubase routing, it sees it fine. If you guys have any input it would be greatly appreciated
Komplete Kontrol mk2 MIDI mode back to plugin mode
Hi there, I managed to create split keyboard in KK application midi tool so it shows up when I select MIDI option on KK mk2 keyboard and in DAW I designate one virtual instrument to MIDI channel 1 in left side of the keyboard, and another virtual instrument on another track designated to MIDI channel 2 on the right side of…
DAW Freezes When Opening Plugins in Mixer
I recently updated to the latest version of some plugins through Native Access, such as Raum and others like Replika. Before the update, everything was working fine, but now when I open them, they freeze FL Studio. It doesn’t crash or say "not responding," but they remain frozen. I ran a test using the performance monitor…
Connecting S61 mk3 to FL Studio: Why 2 different controllers?
Hello community, I am not the greatest MIDI expert and I am wondering, why there are 2(3) devices of my S61 mk3 in the controller list of FL Studio: 'Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol DAW' and 'Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol MIDI' (both for Midi in and out - there is even a third S61 device, but this is not…
Komplete Kontrol Integration for FL Studio?
Is Komplete Kontrol integration planned for FL Studio? I've just made an Orchestral Template out of Kontakt instruments, but when I switch to a different plugin instance in FL, the GUI on my S49 MK3 doesn't change. The DAW feature would also be nice.
Maschine Mikro Mk3 Input lag in Cubase 12
Hello. Recently updated to C12, I like the changes so far but I have run into a annoying issue. I noticed that my NI Maschine Mikro Mk3 (+maschine 2 software) midi controller suffers from slight input lag in C12. So when you press the pad there is a slight lag before you hear the sound between 20-40ms I'd guess. I did a…
Drumloop Problem
Hello, I mainly use the Machine Mk3 controller for my DJ set-up. It is used to incorporate additional instruments (like Chris Liebing). Now I've come up with the idea of using ready-made drum loops (Closed Hi Hat) in addition, as some of them are very suitable, but now it's the case that Machine doesn't play them cleanly…
Problem running machine MK3 on Mac M3
Ive downloaded the Machine 2 daw. Problem is when I try opening it, it gets stuck while loading. And each time it's stuck it's stuck on "scanning mini grand". Because of this I uninstalled the mini grand I had on the comp. Problem still persists though. Any ideas on how to open the DAW to give the MK3 a program to run in?
How can I capture the MIDI from each channel in Maschine to Ableton?
Hi, when I create MIDI tracks and select the MIDI input in Ableton, I can't see where to select the corresponding channel; I only get the sum of all the MIDI channels. How do you guys do it?
Problems starting komplete Kontrol DAW
I apologize in advance if my English is bad. Good morning, I need help because I'm going crazy: to make my NI A25 recognized as komplete Kontrol DAW I have to unplug the USB cable and reconnect it with the computer on (Win 11), otherwise there is no way for this to happen automatically. Unfortunately it only works as a…
Komplete Kontrol A61 not recognised by Reaper
Hi Following the death of my old laptop I decided to start completely afresh and buy a completely new set up - new laptop, new midi controller, everything starting from scratch. I installed Komplete Kontrol but my DAW (Reaper) isn't recognising it. When I open the Komplete Kontrol software and go to MIDI preferences, it is…
Seting up automation while it's playing
I was fooling around with automation and writing parameters for the effects I was using on my Cakewalk project, but then an idea popped up in my head… Is it possible to set up an automation while the project is playing?
Maschine-NI DAW
I was surprised not to find this topic in a search of the forum, so I am posting it here. First of all, I am a longtime user of NI software products, and a new user of Maschine. I know that Maschine has varied uses, but based on an intense period learning Maschine, and perusing many forums, and watching many videos, it…
Issues connecting Kontrol S2 on new laptop (Win 11)
So my com can see the controller, Traktor can see it as well, but is it totally unresponsive. All drivers and firmware are current (as ancient as they might be :P ) I am using an older version of Traktor (2.11) which I realize might be the problem, but I don't want to update to 3.0 if I wind up with the same problem.…
FL Studio - A-Series and M32
Hi. My name is Duwayne I created a script of the A-Series and the M32 works with FL Studio. It's called the Fruity NILA. By using the Native Instruments Host Integration protocol instead of the limited MIDI mode Native Instruments provides, the controller acts as if it was connected to Ableton or Logic Pro X. The Komplete…

Hello - today morning I run some updates via NI acs and now some plugins are reported to be incopatible or blocked. Cubase 13 put them on the blocked list - reactivation causes crashes and error messages about unstable Cubase. I've tried running audacity as it is able to load some VSTs and it says these are incopatible:…

How do you find a NaN with only one specific note pitch?
hello community, I'm trying to convert my extremely power-hungry primary FM synth (https://www.native-instruments.com/en/reaktor-community/reaktor-user-library/entry/show/14617/) to core as much as possible. (The fact that the primary version barely runs on the Intel i7, but runs very well on the Apple Silicon M1, and that…

Creating my own vocal melodies???
Hey guys. Im confused here. For the virtual vocal vst instruments, can I create and play my own melodies? Or am I limited to the pre-recorded phrases? This worries me. I don't wanna buy a product if I can't create my own melodies from scratch. Wish there was more info on these instruments, or a trial option.
