Using KOMPLETE KONTROL with Logic | Native Instruments

[@sajank9757]

Well done Brian. Had this keyboard for about a year now and boy!!! what have I been missing. Thanks for this video. Keep them coming.

[@s501ci]

First : Sorry for my bad English, I'm french. Thank you for the way you have to learn in the details. French Native Tuto are really good but you clearly make the difference. You unlock me ! Merci Merci Merci !!! 🙏

[@4QNICU2]

Thank you for your lecture, I can now do things I was afraid of because I did not have someone with visual assistance to comprehend what I was asking for, you showed me a lot. Thank You

Wonderful!

[@paragonmusic4523]

damn, i am definitely going to buy this keyboard. I am very impressed with controlling and editing functions. making songs with this keyboard seems next level. what Brain did with logic was so cool

Nicely taught class. 13m44sec of video, probably a week of content covered if I was reading this from the manual. If I were to guess, this material took a month to create. While created for the previous generation of equipment, it is still quite useful.

[@maier43]

Thank you so much! This is my set up. Now I know how to work with it - after already having done several projects with it. 👍🏻 NI is just great.

[@Chrielastusmusic]

I'm running my Komplete Kontrol mk2 61 on Big Sur on my M1 Mac and for reason Logic does not recorgnise it. I have been trying to get the transport buttons to work for ages and they still don't. Help please!

[@spittss]

I'm having the same problem. A partial fix is by starting Logic in Rosetta mode so it recognizes the controller (MK2) and then starting it again in regular mode. This is only a partial fix because you still can't view the mixer but it does allow you to Play/Record. Hopefully, NI will send the update soon.

[@Ewang2727]

@@spittss starting it in Rosetta mode completely defeats the purpose of it being native in m1! You waste so much cpu power with that

[@spittss]

@@Ewang2727 LOL. I agree Emily. I don't think you understood the response.

[@rwebster65]

@@spittss For those having problems with the M1 Macs running Monterey, Logic and Komplete Kontrol S49 Mk2, I seem to have a workaround. Launch Logic in Rosetta 2 mode, setup an instrument with Komplete Kontrol in Logic ....make sure the host integration functions are working (transport control, mix page etc). Then shutdown Logic and start again in native mode (M1 mode). Now it should retain the full host integration functionality. It works for me at least!

Awesome. Loving this keyboard, thanks for the detailed insights👍

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

An instrument that combines Maschine with a keyboard, kinda like what MPC did with their new keyboard, wouldn’t be a bad idea. I’m a true NI fan, I can easily look past any imperfections & still enjoy all I have to work with. Really digging my newly-upgraded 14 CE. Your sounds are unmatched 🎹

[@sharviswhitted1972]

Great idea

[@caleb.bryant]

@Native Instruments Will there ever be a “fix” for how the mixer bars flicker? (Example @5:54) It’s so smooth in maschine but in logic it’s flickery and janky looking. Would love to see smooth integration with logic and NI hardware.

Hey Max, most of the commands of the keyboard can be mapped when the device is used as a MIDI Controller. Check out how to do this here: bit.ly/3MwjcRs 👈

Great Tute My Man

[@patrickwilsonwelsh]

Hi! Great video! But I have a PROBLEM. Since the release of Logic Pro 10.7, Logic can no longer find NI KK instruments when I attempt to load them. I've had an SK49 connected and integrated successfully for years, but now the integration doesn't work. When I attempt to load a sound, I get Loading Issue, Plug-in not found. So far I've reinstalled standalone KK on my iMac, scanned all plugins within standalone KK, deleted and reinstalled the KK plugin in Logic, deleted Logic's audio unit cache file and rescanned all plugins (multiple times), restarted the Mac multiple times, all with no success. What did Apple change about KK plugin scanning/location, and how do I fix this? Apple has so far been no help. Thanks in advance!

[@ThatOtherMikeyGuy]

This all works fine, but I find that every now and then the transport controls on the S61 stop working for Logic, and just play a random note when pressed instead. Nine times out of ten a reboot fixes it, sometimes I have to delete Logic's preferences and start again. Is it a Logic problem or a Native Instruments problem? I guess I'll never know!

Hi Andrea, if you just recorded it and want to add a fade, you can press the UNDO button and re-record the automation. Otherwise, you should be able to just arm automation again from the keyboard and record the adjustments which will overwrite your previous automation.
