Query about AUTO button on Kontrol S61 MK3
When using Kontrol S61 MK3 with Logic Pro, the AUTO button only changes to automation mode from "Read" to "Touch".

Is there any way to make the s61 mk3 send note off midi messages instead of note on's with 0 vel?
I've recently moved from a 90's old MIDI keyboard (KORG X5D) to a s61 mk3, I'm mostly happy with the change.

list of supported power adapters and power cables for Komplete S61 MK3
The specification of the missing power supply in the manual seems incomplete. The manual says: USB-C power supply (5 V, 7.5 W or higher, 1.5 A or higher) But it also seems to be depending on the cable. I connected a 5V 10W, 2A smartphone supercharge adapter with its original cable and it still gave me a “Low power” error.…

Smart Play feeling stale......
Any chances we'll see any updates to this? It's not changed in a long time and after the keyboard releases this week it's feeling pretty stale and lifeless. For the record, absolutely loving my S61 MK3, but I'm feeling a little envious of the cheaper offerings in this department right now.
