Komplete Kontrol s49 mkii to change key colours in Ableton Live 11
I need my komplete kontrol s49 mk2 to change key colours in Ableton live 11 and for the key lights to follow midi command. Is there anyway to do this easily(ish) inside Ableton 11?

MK2 S49 keyboard keys don't are out of wack
I bought (for very cheap) this keyboard off someone who had given up saying it didn't turn on. It now does turn on. But my firmware doesn't update. It connects really nicely with Komplete Kontrol software and screens work. The sliders work too.. not really sure if all the lights on the top work. But currently the biggest…

Komplete and Kontakt 7 Browser not working
I downloaded the updates for Kontakt 7 and Komplete Kontrol yesterday and now my browser on my S49 MK2 no longer works. Keys work fine and I can access some of the other buttons on my S49, but not Browser. I can also use the computer to search for instruments and such. It was all working fine up until the updates and I…

Hello. My S49 is not starting properly. There's a constant color loop after I turn it on. My PC doesn't detect it. I have tried installing drivers but it didn't work.
KK S49 MKII WON'T TURN ON
First of all, I bought my keyboard about 2.5 years ago and I couldn't sleep from excitement when I first got it because it was the first MIDI keyboard that was mine. Also, I am a student living alone in Istanbul, so believe me, it's not easy for me to afford this kind of stuff. I will not ignore the good times I've had…
Komplete Kontrol S49 MK2
I just purchased a lightly used S49 MK2. When I first plugged it into my laptop, the device showed in Windows Explorer as a storage device. I wish I would have taken a screenshot because now I can't remember exactly what was in there, but I believe there were installation packages for the included software. I unplugged the…
Maschine Software with Komplete Kontrol S49 or Maschine mk3 / What are your recommendations?
I use a Komplete Kontrol S49 to control Maschine software. I got into using the software as the S49 has so many dedicated buttons and as a result the workflow is really nice. I got so much into it over the months that I started thinking if I'm missing anything from not using a Maschine controller? I'm not talking about the…
S49 MK2: When I load an Instrument some of the keys are not playing any sound.
I have a MacBook Pro M3Max Sonoma, using S49 MK2 Keyboard with Komplete Kontrol Standard. When I load some instruments, the keys on the keyboard lights up telling me that key should have a sound, but when I play some of the keys there is no sound playing. Everything is updated.
No aftertouch?
Is it true that Maschine doesn't receive aftertouch? Even though they've been selling $1000 Maschine-integrated keyboards with aftertouch for 8 years? This should be an outrage.

Possible malware?
Hi there, My antivirus has captured some files with names like this one: Drop.Win32.WinDirControlSet.716319, and associated it as being related with Kontak 8 and iZotop installation paths. They are for archives. See the picture. Do you guys no anything about that issue? I'd appreciate your help. Best,
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. I guess a factory reset will fix it again, but then I'll lose various settings, which is rather annoying. Is there a way to save my current set up before factory reset…
Kontakt Script to change Instrument and keyrange with modulation
This is an interesting problem. I need a script to change Kontakt Instruments depending on keyrange, and the keyrange will dynamically change with modulation CC#1. This is to select which notes along a guitar fretboard are to be played according to fret positions 0 through 17 assigned by mod wheel. One monophonic…
S88 loses Logic
In Logic, when selecting tracks with different instances of Komplete Kontrol, the S88 M2 does not indicate what instrument is active in both the screen and the lighted key indicators. Sometimes it does, but moving track to track they change very slowly and mostly not at all. Is there a solution? Maybe an instruction for…
Abbey Road Drum Libraries MIDI-mapping
Hi, I need a way to use the same MIDI-mapping across the whole range of Abbey Road (and Studio Drummer) Libraries. They all contain the possiblity to save optional mappings, but I can not find a way to use those across the libraries. Attached picture shows how I created my own mapping and saved it, but it does not show up…
Can I export sample loop & release metadata from kontakt 8?
I am sampling a pipe organ and making a VST instrument. I like Kontakt and I would prefer to do it with it. The thing is, I have the chance to give it to a music museum in Barcelona. They have their own sampler there and I need to send them the samples with its loop and release metadata, so we can port it to their…
Kontakt7 libraries viewer is initialized when closed and opened.
I am using FLStudio2024. If I close the window once and reopen it with the STRINGS ENSENMBLE Instrument open, the STRINGS ENSENMBLE in the Libraries is not selected. (It is the first state where nothing is selected). This did not happen when I was using Kontakt5 before, but I wonder if there is a solution to this…
Enabling flux mode in loops
Hi! I have been really enjoying using Traktor Pro for the past two years (version 3 and then later 4). I use it with either mouse/keyboard, or a Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 and a midi mapping file found off the internet and edited to fit my needs. However there is something that has always bugged me about loops and flux mode.…
Modular Icons Sequencer Notes
Correct me if I’m being a dummy, but you can set the key & scale and lock this in the sequencer. Say I did E Minor. When you go to nudge the notes, shouldn’t this be programmed to minor notes only? It’s a music theory question really. For example, you’ve set the seq to e minor, is selecting maj 3rd or all majors make any…
