Native Access - Serial has already been registered?!
Hello, I bought the S61 MK3 bundle with Komplete 26 Standard from Thomann last week and started setup immediately. I installed Native Access 2, logged in, and entered the serial numbers. At that point, all instruments were visible. I then received a notification to update Native Access, did so, and restarted my PC. After…

Komplete Kontrol: Sample Browser Resets to First Preset After Adding an Effect
Hi, I’ve noticed that when I do the following, the preset resets to the first one in the list on my S61 MK3. Select a Loop or One Shot. While I stay in that area, browsing works normally. If I add an effect to the chain, then go back to the Loop/One Shot browser and change the original preset, it defaults back to the first…

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. I have been a komplete use for the past 15 years and can't believe that this feature is missing! NI, please add the transpose value to…

Opened Ticket - Was hoping to get this working before the 4th
I put in a ticket to get this S/N transferred to me so I can use this new MIDI controller. It was a DEMO by Guitar Center. They had to register it to get it to be used in a store. It was sold as NEW and you can tell it was never used for more than just turning on. I need to the S/N or license released so I can register it…

Receiving DIN midi clock on the Kontrol S MK3
Hi! First post on this forum… I'm own an S88 since a while and recently bought an S61 for another setup.

It would be very useful to be able to play a hardware…

I mainly use Kontakt in Logic. If I dont want to do much menu surfing on the Kontrol S61 controller will the UI/screen of the Kontrol S61 controller auto update when i switch tracks in Logic? Like if I had 3 VI tracks in Logic each with different instance of Kontakt can I select any and the Kontrol S61 screen auto updates?

Performance Wheel Sticky Mode
For the Komplete Kontrol app and Kontakt, the S61 Mk3 performance wheel (the one beside the pitch bend) doesn't carry its value across to the next preset. If I have the wheel all the way up, when I go to the next preset it doesn't respect where the wheel is, until I tweak it again. Can you add a sticky mode that we can…

Key Switch Light On Keyboard
In Kontakt/Komplete Kontrol etc. when there is a plugin that uses key switching, it doesn't light up the current keyswitch on the keyboard. It still only does octaves, even though it has no use for octaves, but won't show which keyswitch you're currently on. In this example, Action Strings 2, I'm currently latched onto…

Does HID interaction stop MIDI output back to the computer?
Here's what I'm testing in Python: Without line 13, I can connect to the S88 MK3 fine, all LEDs are functioning and MIDI messages still send to the computer, knobs / keys / buttons / wheels work fine. As soon as I add in line 13, all the lights go off and piano key inputs stop sending MIDI messages, knobs / keys / buttons…

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". Should it open actual "Automation" view also (what we do using "A" key command on typing keyboard)? Or opening "Automation" view needs us to use typing keyboard only? I was expecting AUTO button to do both:…

Komplete Kontrol S61 mk3 rear panel screw size???
Can someone tell me what size screws are the two screws that hold the back jack panel? I purchased mine as new, but on clearance, from Guitar Center, and they stipulated a no-return policy.

Kontakt 8 and KK MK3 keyboard not showing library pictures (although libraries available)
Hello! I've recently migrated to a new PC. I went through the process of downloading all my libraries via Native Access. They are all there and usable.

Any official Cubase Script integraton with Komplete Kontrol MK3 keyboards (like the S88 MK3) coming?
We have internal Midi CC editor and controls on the S88 MK3 for universal control but will we see plug and play Cubase controls via the Cubae MIDI Control Editor script?

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…

I've recently moved from a 90's old MIDI keyboard (KORG X5D) to a s61 mk3, I'm mostly happy with the change.

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.
