Firmware 1.8.7 with bugs?
I loaded the new firmware today. The DAW button on the Kontrol S88 Mk3 is now inactive and it is no longer possible to control the DAW (Ableton12: change tracks, mixer, mute, etc.).

Cubase 13 macos crashing/freezing with recent Kontrol S MK3 firmware 1.7.6 / driver
Hi, I just tried my new Kontrol S61 MK3 with Cubase 13 on macos in our studio. Cubase seems to be confused, if the device runs in midi 2.0 mode… I bet because Cubase seem not to be able to disable midi inputs at all, so it always will receive the exact double midi data, one time from the virtual midi 1 port, and one time…
