Hi there,
when I open a Kontakt 7 or KK instance the screen on the keyboard stays on the MIDI Default Template unless I click on the S88 icon in KK or the keyboard's name in Kontakt. Same thing if I go from one channel to the other in Cubase. EVERY TIME I have to tell Kontakt or KK that I am using the S88 keyboard.

In the Studio Setup everything seems to be connected correctly.

Also, quite often it happens that for no apparent reason Kontakt resets the MIDI In Ports assignment to Off. And when I try to reconnect the kontrol MK3 to Port A it doesn't work unless I restart my PC. While if I try to connect other MIDI Inputs to Port A, like the StreamDeck" it works.

Sometimes I connect the Ports in Kontakt 7 Standalone, I go in Cubase and the keys don't work. I go back to Kontakt and the Kontrol MK3 MIDI Inputs are automatically back on Off and there's no way to relink the Ports.

Is anyone experiencing these kind of issues?

Still waiting on my preorder from Perfect Circuit.

But hopefully you’ll get response soon. Maybe Evil Dragon knows what’s going on here?

And have you tried posting on NI?

Yep, I did

Anyways, I think it's a Windows problemjust like the firmware update
Today I tried to connect it to my macbook pro and it works fine

something similar happened with the MK1 when the M32 was connected. Basically, Komplete Kontrol automatically selected as controller the M32 and every time I had to manually select the S88 unless I unplugged the M32.

But now the M32 is not connected and in any case it doesn't work directly with Kontakt.

So maybe something else is causing a conflict that avoid Kontakt to automatically select the MK3? Go figure out what is it if this is the case...

There are many reports about early releases of MK3
There is firmware update to resolve some of them, but it also bricks early versions.
Yet another success story from NI

Ps; go to NI forums for more info - there’s lot of it

Bricks them!?!

I always expect bugs on the first versions, but that’s a bit severe.

I’m on Mac, so hopefully it’ll work. This will be connected to an Intel Mac, so I am a little worried. Native Access is a disaster at times, whereas it works fine on the M2 laptop.

Well, I’ll take this as a positive while I keep waiting on my preorder. Hope they can fix it soon.
