Transposing on S61 MK3 - WHY IS IT NOT VISIBLE on the LCD!?!
If I transpose semi-tones on the S61, MK3 keyboard, why is it not shown on the LCD? It is an ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL feature that I would expect of a keyboard costing a fraction of this one.

Any official Cubase Script integraton with Komplete Kontrol MK3 keyboards (like the S88 MK3) coming?

I want to be a raving fan of NI, but...
I see that the Mk3 S88 is being offered with a huge amount of software and no additional cost (omnia + komplete + a hardware instrument of choice …. that could be 700-800 dollars of software for free … impressive) This is great for attracting new customers to NI, but …. How about offering the Mk3 S88 (and even the 61 and…

DAW Integration Not Working (Mac Sonoma; ProTools 2024.3.1; Komplete Kontrol S61 MK3)
Hello! I'm brand new here - hope you're all well. I just unpacked my S61 and tried to connect it with my protools; I was dismayed to find that the 'transport' buttons don't work (i.e. play, rec, stop, etc.). Plus even though I've mapped the device in my DAW, it sends me this message (attached) every time I open the…

Feature Request: Touch Strip relative mode (CS-80 style) on S-series MK3
In the current S-series firmware, wherever you touch the touchstrip it sends Midi CC or Pitch bend data that directly corresponds to the location you touched on the strip. That is, if you touch it on the far right you get a value of 127. The control is a "direct" mapping of position input to data output. I would like to…

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. But I've noticed the keyboard uses the velocity 0 note on messages instead of note off events. Is there any way to make it send note off's with corresponding velocities? Like with my old KORG MIDI keyboard…? regards…

Can I save current set up on Kontrol S61 Mk3 before factory reset?
My MIDI through has simply stopped functioning. I had this problem before, mentioned in an earlier discussion, and the 'answer' resolved as a factory reset.

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…
