How to customize the lights on Kontrol S61 Keyboard
Hello all, just got my Kontrol s61 and I'm trying to customize the light colors like I had on my last keyboard and I cant figure out how to do it. The corresponding lights are not even lighting up when I press the key.
Rob Papen not working
Received a note from Rob Papen Support; they verified that their NKS products haven't been working in Komplete Kontrol since the latest update. "Hello, We had contact with NI about this issue, and it seems to be on their side. I checked myself with Machine-2 and all our products appeared. Before 3.4.0 of Komplete Kontrol,…
Can’t load Kontakt 8 in Komplete Kontrol
I’m new to the NI ecosystem and picked up the s49 mk3 a few days ago with komplete 15 standard. i think i may have messed up something with my install but I can’t figure out what to do to fix it. I have kontakt 8 and i can open it standalone but in Komplete Kontrol Kontakt 8 is greyed out and I’m not sure why. I see 6 and…
Play assist on Komplete Kontrol MK3 still do not record MIDI correctly
Native Instruments just released a big MIDI firmware update for Komplete Kontrol MK3 Keyboards. Just tested it. It still has no working PlayAssist with DAWs like Logic from what I can tell. The Play Assist Midi do not record correctly in Logic - the DAW records what you pressed on the keys, not what Play Assist adjusted…
Why doesn't my S61 Keyboard work when I open Komplete Kontrol as a standalone or in DAW?
The functionality doesn't work, (Browse, CC knobs, Scales, ARP) when I open Komplete Kontrol as a standalone or in Logic. When I open Maschine however, all the functionality of the keyboard works perfectly, just like it used to do when I opened Komplete Kontrol previously. It's NOT a MIDI issue, the appropriate boxes are…

Where to begin with getting library off of external hard drive
I've been trying to get my Machine MK3 and Komplete Kontrol to move to my desktop and away from my laptop as it seems it will be more productive? I had all of my projects and library on an external hard drive G: to free up my drive C: and me more flexibility. I cannot get Machine to recognize the library and projects on…
M32 and Komplete Kontrol in Logic Pro X
PLATFORM: Apple MBP M1 Pro/Sequoia 15.1.1 Logic Pro X 11.1 KOMPLETE KONTROL app v 3.33 Komplete Standard 15 After years of drooling over the ads, I took the plunge and bought Komplete 15 and an M32 keyboard. Having had an Arturia Minilab Mk 1, which took a PhD to set up in Logic, I was hoping the M32 would be plug and…
Controlling Plugins & Standalone Simultaneously
While using my Roland Integra-7 with the S61MK3, I turned on my computer to look up some things and forget that I had my controller connected. Once I powered it on, the controller stopped working with the Integra. It's likely due to the S61 finding the computer and readying to control a VST. This made me wonder, is it…
Kontrol S49 MK3 via MioXL
Hello, I recently got a MioXL to assist with midi routing my devices. I've been plugging in my S49 directly into the USB host ports of the MioXL and it's been great for sending midi to my hardware synths. What I didn't realize until now is that the standard connectivity between the keyboard and NI's software has been…
Plans for MK3 to support hardware and software simultaneously?
So, I've just learned that in order to use my MK3 with external gear, I have to disconnect from my PC… This is….Odd….but I guess understandable with its current limitations. I'm hoping that the MIDI support introduced with the MIDI mapping update will rid us of this issue?
Simultaneous midi and DAW control via Kontrol S keyboard
Can I play my external synth via midi at the same time as I control my DAW for recording or live performance with the kontrol S MK3 keyboard ?
USB and MIDI Connection on S49 MK3
Hi, I have my S49 MK3 connected to my Mac Studio M2 Max via USB and to my MIDI interface (mioXL) via MIDI. When I start the Komplete Kontrol software, or Kontakt, or my DAW (Ableton Live 12.1), I use the USB connection to take advantage of the benefits of the Komplete Kontrol or Kontakt software/plugins. But when I want to…
So... does Komplete Kontrol mk1 just not work with Ableton 12/11?
I just got an mk1 second hand and upgraded to Ableton 12. When installing the MIDI remote scripts Ableton tells me that the scripts don't support Live 12. I know that NI has disontinued support for mk1… does that mean it's just a paperweight for Live 12 beyond the basic keyboard midi functionality? Even in Live 11 I could…
Komplete Kontrol keyboard not working with Mac Sequoia
Hi there, I recently bought a new Mac M4 Pro and have been setting up my software via Native Access. Everything has downloaded fine, but my A49 keyboard isn't working when loading up VSTs via Komplete Kontrol (I can hear the sound of the VST when selected, but nothing when keys are pressed). The keyboard is connected fine…
Why did ASIO driver stop working?
Yesterday Komplete Kontrol and Kontact were both working with Audio driver ASIO and Device Realtek® Audio (Windows 11). Today, they are no longer working (no sound from my Kontrol S61 MK3) and the Audio Driver had reset itself to WASAPI (Shared Mode) and wouldn't let me change it back to ASIO (even though ASIO is still in…
Control Setup Issues on Logic Pro 11 with Maschine Mikro Mk3 & Komplete Kontrol M-32
Hi there! Hope you´re doing well. I´ve been trying to setup my controllers (MM Mk3 & KK M-32) to Logic and only they keys and the pads seem to work. The Buttons aren´t automatically assigned. I´ve downloaded the latest firmware (2020) for both devices and even though I used Rosetta to open the Update Application, they…
MIDI Output Doesn' t Work
When the "NIHostIntegrationAgent.exe" is running on my PC, the "output" of "Komplete Kontrol A61 MIDI" cannot be opened, in some softwares they would say "Memory not enough", which lead to that I cannot use my MIDI controller in some DAWs like Bitwig Studio.
Replacement Knobs for S49
I recently got an S49 keyboard. I have a keyboard slider tray under my desk that I used for previous keyboard, but the knobs on the s49 block it from sliding all the way in. Does anybody know how I could get replacement knobs that aren't as high? I measured and I'd need them to be no higher than 1/4 inch. Thank you!
Komplete Kontrol only for FXs?
I'm a user of the Komplete Kontrol S-Series and Maschine MK3, and ever since I set up my workflow organically with these, I’ve also integrated third-party companies that support NKS compatibility. I really enjoy working with my hardware to control many of my VSTs. However, I have a suggestion (if it hasn’t been made…

Some instruments get installed and others don't in Native Access
Hi there :) I wanted to install Komplete Kontrol 11 on my new Mac. I downloaded the newest version of Native Access and granted all the permissions it needs (Full Disk Access and Files & Folders).

Key not returning on Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2
Hello, I have a Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2 keyboard that I purchased in 2021. One of the keys does not return to its original position after being pressed.

Enabling flux mode in loops
Hi! I have been really enjoying using Traktor Pro for the past two years (version 3 and then later 4). I use it with either mouse/keyboard, or a Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 and a midi mapping file found off the internet and edited to fit my needs. However there is something that has always bugged me about loops and flux mode.…
Kontakt Factory Libraries are missing?
Hi! I tried downloading Kontakt Factory Library onto my external hard drive, but I can't seem to access it in Kontakt even though native access shows it as being downloaded. Would be great if someone a bit smarter than me when it comes to tech knows what the issue is! I've attached a couple of screenshots to show what I…

Hi everyone, I have a general question about how to automate the modulation and expression parameters using VSTs from Native Instruments. I have the free kontakt player (that I use through Logic Pro) that can load my instruments but am struggling to automate the modulation and expression of my instruments like I can do for…
Kontakt 5 creating huge amount of 'system files'
I've been converting a load of old .gig instruments to .nki in K5 and saving to an external drive. I've noticed my Mac now has 600GB of 'system files' that is growing the more I convert. I haven't been able to figure out where these files are located and how to get rid of them to recover storage. Any thoughts would be…
