Kontakt 8 Reset Search filters
Hi. Since installing my new S61 a few days ago, the search filters in Kontakt is only displaying a few presets. I've looked all around to see how to reset the search filters but no where to be found. Even on the S61, Browser mode, pressing shift will not allow me to reset filters as this menu is greyed out. Looks like I've…

How to set-up Push 3 and Kontrol S88 mk3 for Ableton Live
Hello, I have been using my Push 3 for Ableton plugins and DAW control without any issues. I recently purchased a Kontrol S88 Mk3. For some reason, the Push stops functioning properly whenever I load up Komplete Kontrol or Kontakt on the new keyboard. How do I get these two controllers to cooperate? Thanks for any ideas!…

Kontrol S88 mk3 - Can I use templates to control a Kontakt instance and external synth using a split
A new video on Youtube posted by NI appears to show something I thought was NOT supported. That is, my understanding was that the din output to external synths was only active if the S88 was un-plugged from the host computer. Unfortunately this forum will not allow me to post a link. Very helpful - not. I'll buy an S88…

USB and MIDI Connection on S49 MK3
Hi, I have my S49 MK3 connected to my Mac Studio M2 Max via USB and to my MIDI interface (mioXL) via MIDI. When I start the Komplete Kontrol software, or Kontakt, or my DAW (Ableton Live 12.1), I use the USB connection to take advantage of the benefits of the Komplete Kontrol or Kontakt software/plugins. But when I want to…

Why did ASIO driver stop working?
Yesterday Komplete Kontrol and Kontact were both working with Audio driver ASIO and Device Realtek® Audio (Windows 11). Today, they are no longer working (no sound from my Kontrol S61 MK3) and the Audio Driver had reset itself to WASAPI (Shared Mode) and wouldn't let me change it back to ASIO (even though ASIO is still in…

I just won a 9th gen ipad and want to use it with my rig
I have a traktor Kontrol S4 mk 3 and I'm running Traktor Pro 4 (stem mixing) and I'm wondering if this ipad will even support Pro 4 or even 3 or lower? I'm getting mixed results online. I'm reading that Virtual DJ or Djay Pro might work….I am fairly sure rekordbox would work but I don't know if ANY of those would work with…

For the S series MK3: My first attempt at a small Helper App for modifying .kmt files
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. (Update 2025-03-20: Added a field for the MIDI output preference in support of the firmware upgrade released in March 2025). This…

This update introduces the ability to create, edit, save, browse, load, export, share, and import MIDI Templates on your device and/or desktop computer.

Can't believe we still have the sustain problem
Each time I fire up my KK MK3 S61 keyboard I have to go in the setup so the pedal works as intended. Can't believe we still have this problem after such a long time. As always NI doesn't seem to give a damn about it's userbase. Shame!

I can't configure my sustain pedal
Hi, there Although I follow the instructions given by Brian on YT NI channel, I can’t find the page that would allow me to access my sustain pedal settings (it goes into ON mode as soon as I connect it). Instead of arriving on this page (Picture 1), here is what I see (Picture 2).And when I press simultaneously…

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,…

Tracktion Waveform Free vs Native Kontrol with Kontrol MK3
Hi everyone, Since its release, I’ve been longing for a Kontrol S88 MK3. However, as I’ve been using Reaper for roughly 17 years, it’s important for me that it works well with it. I’ve read in several places, including here on the forum, that Komplete Kontrol often freezes or crashes when used with Reaper. Because of this,…

Can I use a MIDI template to control an instrument inside of Kontrol?
Hi, I load a VST that already has an NKS template. I can use it with my MK3 normally. I setup a MIDI template but cannot map the controls to the Kontrol Instance. I'm trying to control the "Time" parameter in the top left that you see moving when NKS mode is enabled. The reason why I want to do this is because, this…

Add a MIDI Program Change (MIDI PC) button support on Komplete Kontrol MIDI Mode
In MIDI Mode on the Komplete Kontrol Keyboard MK3 - as default (or as an option) allow MIDI PC (Program Change) on the Next and Previous button. Currently the buttons are not in use in Midi mode so it should be an issue to add. This makes sense for those using Expression Maps in Cubase with Program Change as a protocol to…

Avid Pro Tools + Komplete Kontrol MIDI Controller not working
Hi guys, I recently received my NI Kontrol S88 MK3. I now want to setup my Pro Tools (2024.10), but it's not working as it should. When going to Peripherals > MIDI Controllers, I select "KompleteKontrol". Then it should automatically select the receiver and sender. This isn't the case. Also, when selecting "KONTROL S88 MK"…

Signed into my account to register it so I could start using with my AKAI MPC X, & was stopped in the process by not being able to register on my account.
