Issue with Kontrol S88 MK3 – Firmware Update Failure
Hi I recently purchased a Native Instruments Kontrol S88 MK3 from you. Unfortunately, the device is not functioning correctly. A firmware update cannot be completed because the device fails to enter firmware update mode. The official updater consistently shows the error message: “failed to boot into firmware update mode.”…

Has this happened to others? After a while, my Komplete Kontrol freezes on one plug-in instance
Has this happened to others? After a while, my Komplete Kontrol freezes on one plug-in instance. Everything works fine for a while, then the interface on the KK is stuck on one library, even if I change it. The keyboard still works, but all the KK functions, like the knobs, do not work. Any suggestions? Native Access and…

Vintage Organs - Aftertouch Swell Seems Backwards to me
When applying aftertouch, it creates a negative swell (decreasing volume). This is counter-intuitive to me. I understand Hammond organs likely had no aftertouch, but other synths I have used, normally aftertouch mapped to volume or CC 11, or a filter, normally increases volume and/or brightens timbre. I have gone into…

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. For a start the editor for creating them is much more flexible than Komplete Kontrol's NKS editor as you can freely move around pages and also map the same param to multiple pages (eg if…

Mix mode on the S61 Mk2's displays stopped working when MIDI 2.0 was introduced
Hello, I’m using Cubase 15 on Windows 11 with a Native Instruments Komplete S61 MK2 keyboard, which only supports MIDI 1.0.

Why is the S88 MK3 limited to -1 Octave? (MK2 could do -2)
I'm really frustrated with a regression in the S88 MK3 design. On the MK2, we could shift down two octaves to reach the low keyswitches (C-2 area) commonly used in libraries like Spitfire and Shreddage. The MK3 has hard-locked the octave down button to -1 only. This makes those keyswitches inaccessible from the hardware.…

Why am I not able to play any VST in Cubase from my Komplete Kontrol Keyboard?

There is no visual key-down on the on-screen keyboard as when it triggers a note and you hear the VST. When I select a key of the on-screen keyboard of the VST with my mouse it…

S49 MK III and FL Studio - verry bad feelings. What I do wrong?

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.

"I need options" (and not another Linux rant)

Issues using my keypad in Cubase 15
Sorry if I come off as ignorant here. I have no clue at this point. I can use my s49 mk3 with Komplete Kontrol as a standalone and it is fine. Functions perfectly, same when using Kontakt 8.

Intermittent Latency/sampling rate Issue with knobs in Komplete Kontrol

Komplete Kontrol MK3 Immersive Graphics
Noticed the old Komplete Kontrol MK2 showed real-time recording of MIDI when in the Maschine integration mode. This made me wonder if the MK3 is capable of showing more things like that (not necessarily Maschine) but moving graphics in general, instead of static banner images. Will this be possible in the future?

S-Series keyboard Mk4 request
I was thinking of getting a maschine micro as it would fit on top of the mk3 keyboard nicely. But then I was thinking, why did NI put in 16 pads into the MK3 keyboard?

NI Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 - is this discontinued or not?
As many of you know, MK2 is a much better option for those of us who were dumb enough to completely enter the NI ecosystem and base our studio setup on the machine software/hardware.

All the controllers on my M32 can be mapped because they spit out midi data. But the PRESET up/down buttons generate the EXACT SAME sysex messages, so they cannot be…
