Logic mixer using Kontrol S 61 MK3 in MIDI 2.0 don't work properly
When using Kontrol in MIDI 2.0 with Logic Pro X, the mixer mapping doesn't work right.

I also gave it a go in Pro Tools and Ableton, and it worked just fine. It…

Please add a DOUBLE TAP to return encoder to default (or better yet preset default) value
NI please add a DOUBLE TAP to return encoder to default (or better yet preset default) value to both KK and Kontakt.

Please like…

Naming/typing on Kontrol Mk3
When naming a parameter/template on Kontrol Mk3, the UI is pretty well done in the way that we type on the keyboard. However, there is no way to locate back to a previous letter space to just change one letter or word, atleast as far as I can tell. Why not utilize the Shift button here? I could easily see a way where you…

S Mk3 sustain pedal bug
Does anybody else get this issue where the sustain pedal changes polarity randomly in the S-series Mk3 keyboards? My S88 Mk3 constantly randomly switches Sustain pedal polarity - on a global level.

Way to set values to unity?

Has Kontrol Mk3 just lost the "Tap Tempo" capability?
I used to use the Shift/Metro option to tap out a tempo when starting a piece.

And that tempo appears to be purely local, with no connection to the DAW (Studio One) tempo. Has the Tap Tempo…

Easier way/hack to switch between Volume and Pan in DAW mode on Mk3?

Kontrol S88 mk3 - Can I use templates to control a Kontakt instance and external synth using a split

Very helpful - not. I'll buy an S88…

Buttons instead of keys for instrument settings
Let me ask you a question. I think it would make more sense if the keys in the Lightguide, which are usually marked red and do not play sounds but change instrument settings, were moved from the keyboard to extra buttons or knobs on the keyboards. Especially if you use Komplete on hardware that doesn't have a light guide,…
