For the S series MK3: My first attempt at a small Helper App for modifying .kmt files
I hope it's ok to share this here, otherwise I apologize and a moderator can simply delete this post. Encouraged by the product team's post, I've recently built a very small helper app (browser based), to give a simple front-end to things that I used to do via editing the .kmt files by hand. This little kmtHelper app can…

I can't use all the features of my Kontrol S88 MK3
I think I didn't install the latest drivers for the kontrol s888 mk3. I noticed that the buttons to control the DAW don't light up when I'm on Ableton Live or FL Studio (play, loop, record, DAW...etc). There are options I don't see in the MIDI settings. To explain it to you better. In the MIDI settings I should see this:…

Kontakt8 linking issue with Komplete Kontrol S88 MK3
Hi NI, looks like there's an issue thet should be addressed and solved. Kontakt8, Komplete KontrolS88 MK3 – all versions up to date, both firmware & software In standalone mode everything works smooth. In DAW (Cubase 12 Pro) however, when Kontakt8 works as VST it does not connect to the controller (in my case S88 MK3) To…

Komplete Kontrol S88 MKIII FULL height
Hello, I am planning to buy the S88 MKIII. I would like to place it under the table top. According to the specification the height is 120mm. Please who has this keyboard, can you tell me if the 120mm is meant with the potmeters or are they even higher? What is the total height of the instrument including knobs? Thank you.

S-Series MK3 not Class Complient?
are thy not? And if so, why? They are offered also as stand alone Mastetkeyboard. Now I want to use it with a new Midi Host Device (CME H4MIDI WC) in my setup, but it doesn't work, because of this message: Device descriptor: 0x12, 0x01, 0x00, 0x02, 0xEF, 0x02, 0x01, 0x40, 0xCC, 0x17, 0x20, 0x21, 0x84, 0x01, 0x01, 0x02,…

I love my S88 MK3, but why on earth they overlooked this? (KMK3-1756)
This is my first 88 key MIDI controller and I simply love playing it, but however it has at least one critical flaw. Especially when used with VST instruments - even with the official NKS support mind you. This thing can't reach the lowest octaves (-2 OC) so I could quickly change my articulations etc. Even my tiny…

New S88 display shows white lines after 1.8.7 firmware update
Has anyone encountered the following issue? I have a new S88. When I first powered it up it displayed its serial number for registration in Native Access, then prompted me to upgrade firmware. I did so with my Mac (Sequoia 15.2, Apple M2) using the KSMK3 Updater 3.24.0. After the update, the display seems is no longer…

Problems with Sustain Pedal on Kontrol S88 MK3
Greets: I have put this off for months now, but I have not been able to get an old M-Audio SP1 pedal to work with my S88 MK3. I should start by stating that when I attempt to plug the pedal to the Sustain port of the keyboard, sometimes the keyboard would power down, sometimes it would restart the keyboard, and sometimes…

S88 mk3 volume too low
Hello Community, I bought a Control s88 mk3 and installed the software on my MAC. I just want to relax and make music on my own and warm up again.

I just bought a kontrol mk3 s88 for learning, but got issues on setting up. In details, I followed the instructions to update the hardware and downloaded the Kontakt 7. After that I started Kontakt 7 and selected an Organ randomly, which was also showed on the monitor of keyboard. However, when I try to play the keyboard,…

Can I use two keyboards with latest Komplete Kontrol?
Hi all, I know the NI Knowledge base says the following about using two keyboards with Komplete Kontrol ————————- Using more than one Kontrol S MK3 keyboard simultaneously on the same computer (e.g. Kontrol MK3 and another Kontrol MK3 / MK2 / A or M keyboard) is not supported.

How do I fix the scratches on Kontrol S88 MKIII using any tools?
Hi guys, the stand of the my keyboard seems to be very old, making some parts of it sharp which left some scratches on the back of the keyboard when I was trying to move it. Though it was not really a serious problem, every function of the keyboard works normally and no one would care about whether there was some scratch…

Purchased S88 MK3 a month ago. Turns out the inverted Sustain pedal wrong recall is not fixed.
Hello. I was pulling my hair because the pedal randomly inverts on my MK3 on each keyboard boot. I checked with MIDIOx and can confirm it does that. I can never know if the pedal is going to work correctly and often I need to either reboot the keyboard or fix it in the MK3 OS. Is there any ETA for a fix? It is quite an…

S88 for live with different MIDI channels
I've read previous posts and don't see a clear answer to this question. I see in the S88 mk3 manual, in MIDI mode, "The keys send MIDI Note messages and MIDI Key Pressure messages (polyphonic aftertouch) on MIDI channel 1." This would be a replacement of my main controller (PC88) to use live with Apple MainStage. I need to…

Is there an quality control issue with the S88 Mk3
There's so much to like about the S88 Mk3, especially the feel of the keyboard, but I've had two delivered this week and both had faults. The first had poor calibration of a single, mid-range note - whilst seemingly a small issue, a frequently used note that produces higher than expected velocity qualues is a big problem.…
