I can only use midi on my keyboard
Hi everyone, I’m having trouble getting my Komplete Kontrol S88 MK3 to work as anything other than a basic MIDI keyboard, and I’m hoping someone here might have run into something similar. My setup: MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) macOS Tahoe 26.2 Kontakt 8 / Komplete Kontrol S88 MK3 on the latest firmware Native Access, all software…

No MIDI arriving in Ableton Live, No DAW-Mode
Hi, I have a problem with my Kontrol S61 Mk3. I downloaded Native Access, Komplete Kontrol and the Hardware Connection Service, all latest versions. Imade sure that the keyboard has the latest firmware. Playing instruments in Kontrol works fine but the problem lies within DAW integration. Ableton Live is listing 3…

I love my S88 MK3, but why on earth they overlooked this? (KMK3-1756)
This is my first 88 key MIDI controller and I simply love playing it, but however it has at least one critical flaw. Especially when used with VST instruments - even with the official NKS support mind you. This thing can't reach the lowest octaves (-2 OC) so I could quickly change my articulations etc. Even my tiny…

Plug-in for device "KOMPLETE KONTROL A-Series" is missing
Every time I go to open up Logic I get the pop up "Plug-in for device "KOMPLETE KONTROL A-Series" is missing". This is strange since the keyboard appears to play fine on logic and standalone KK without any issues. I've tried deleting Mac HD/Users/User Name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.logic.pro.cs as another forum…

Does anybody know how to get my S88 knobs and buttons to function for NI software, not Logic Pro?
Could anybody help please? My S88 MK1 piano keys work in Logic Pro but the buttons and knobs only work for Logic Pro, I can’t use them for any of NI software, the buttons clearly work but for the wrong software… how can I get them to recognise NI software instead of Logic Pro software?

Hardware Transfer
I need to transfer the licences of my S88 MK2 and Maschine MK3 to a new buyer. I never redeemed the Komplete Select software for the S88 MK2 since I've owned Komplete Ultimate for a long time. Since he's new to the NI ecosystem, I want to know whether he can still redeem it when he takes ownership of the keyboard and which…

I have had the night from hell. I've had my S88 MK3 for a while, but was v busy with work so only now getting round to setting it up properly.

DAW mode malfunction with Logic Pro
I've recently acquired my new Kontrol S61 MK3 in hopes of the wonderfully seamless workflow heaven seen so many times all over youtube.

S61 transfer of hardware woes
I’ve just purchased an S61 Mk2 secondhand from facebook marketplace ...the chap I purchased it from could find the transfer id for the S61 in his account (he purchased it used of someone), so he simply handed me his NI ID account details (as he doesn’t want/need anymore) ...I don’t see any hardware ID for the S61 in there…

Kontrol Sxx Mk2 only shows last added instrument
Recently upgraded to KK 3.5. Currently my Kontrol S88 Mk2 only offers controls, light guides, screens for the last loaded instrument in my DAW. Actual DAW control has gone away since KK 3.x came along. I was willing to let that go, but now the KK interface to NKS features seems to be limited to the last instrument I…

Water damage to Komplete Kontrol S88 MK3
I accidentally spilled water on my Kontrol S88 MK3, recently purchased used from Guitar Center. As a result, some knobs are not fully functional, and a few keys (and LED guide lights) are not working. Is this something I could have repaired or fix myself?

Komplete Kontrol S61 Mk2 Not Working
I recently updated to a newer MacBook, and my Komplete Kontrol keyboard no longer fully works. The keyboard part works fine, but all of the buttons up top (Play, Record, Mute, Solo, etc) won't light up or work. As far as I know, all software is up to date as well, so I'm not sure why it is not working.

Request for Main Knob Function Rollback after Firmware 2.0 Update
Hi everyone, After the latest firmware update, the main knob on my S49 MK3 in DAW mode now controls the volume of the selected track instead of moving Cubase's cursor/playhead position. This change is frustrating because moving the cursor is a much more frequent action. The eight smaller knobs on the S49 MK3 already…

deals for S61 of S88 keyboards for Komplete owners
This is a simple suggestion. in the online store I see several deals for NkS keyboards with bundled software but I don't see any deals for people who already own some version of Komplete and might be interested in taking advantage of NKS . I own Komplete 15 Ultimate and might be interested in upgrading my old keyboard to a…

Can you add white to the Komplete Kontrol Keyboards colour options?
I was setting up my workspace and primarily use white lighting across my PC and setup. I would really appreciate an option to set the LEDs on the Kontrol S88 MK3 to white as well. At the moment, there are only 16 colour options. A white setting would look excellent and integrate perfectly with clean, minimal setups. It…

When will there be full FL Studio support for Kontrol S-Series MK3 Keyboards?
A few months ago, NI released firmware 2.07 for their MK3 Keyboards. At release time there was full support only for a few DAW and the full support for some others, including FL Studio was announced within the next months. I already asked Image-line about the full integration. They're waiting to receice the needed…

S88 MK2 Firmware Downgrade 0.6 to 0.59
Hi, I spent a fair amount of time searching here for a post that might have a link but came up dry. I'm looking to the S88 MK2 Firmware updater that will allow me to revert my S88 MK2 to FW version 0.59 (currently 0.6). The NI Download site has Firmware upgrader 1.4 for my KB, but that will not allow a downgrade. As many…

Kontrol S61/S49 MK3 Velocity Response
When playing the Kontrol S61 Mk3 under normal conditions, I need to apply excessive physical pressure on the keys for MIDI velocity to increase to what would be considered a normal or expressive range. Light to medium playing consistently results in very low velocities, making dynamic and musical playing difficult,…

kontrol s88 mk3 touch strip malfunction
The touch strip continuously resets to zero. Omnisphere is unplayable (cannot filter out CC31). This obviously happens right in the middle of several project/deadlines. If you have any idea, even how to filter out CC31 in Cubase 13 (tried midi input data transformer, doesn't work) , I'll be forever grateful. The keyboard…

Delay compensation in Machines
But Native Instruments had promised to insert the delay compensation in Maschine 2 and 3 as soon as possible? It's been a year since the promise but I don't think there's any movement.

Bitwig Studio - Bitwig Device Library for NKS-like Integration without Komplete Kontrol
Bitwig Studio has customisable remote controls for devices and plugins which are rather like NKS mappings but with several advantages.

It seems that re-mapping is not as easy as thought or I may be…

Just an FYI for NI
Just wanted to let you know that I'm running Cubase Pro 15.0.6 and I had some serious bugs when I first started using.

Now, I still get GUI lag, even with no NI instruments running, and it goes away if I power…

KK mk 1 & Cubase 15 Pro stopped working

I've checked back in Cubase 14 (Pro also) and that now has the same issue. Interestingly, if I use KK in standalone or Studio One, it…

Gross Incompetence with Maschine 3 Update (and S88 MKIII)
This is just a simply, short post to call attention to how absurd it is that a company the size of Native could release a basic OS update that we not only have to pay for on an already $1000+ piece of hardware, but that will literally brick your device if you proceed to update it as you cannot re-register a piece of…

Why design UIs that don’t work with your hardware?
Why does NI persist in designing its software so that it can’t be used on their own hardware? The Massive X player relies on an XY pad to really have any effect beyond being a presets browser. And now the neat looking Absynth presets mapper is unusable via NI hardware. As are all of the controls for the Synth. What is the…
