#KOMPLETE KONTROL S88 MANUAL HOW TO#
This page discusses how to convert the automation into midi data (in Cubase). Trouble is the knobs are sent out as automation data, and that can be tricky, but I have found ways to change it into midi CC data, then you would need to midi learn the knobs you want to control (in Kontakt- if the dev allows it in the interface). I've been looking into this since my last post. Significant limitations with unlikely changes in the near future - if ever from NI and VSL. Hopefully this summary will inform others considering the S88. So in the end I get the visual feedback of the lightguide. Since midi record from the KK knobs is NOT possible with KK inside of VEPRO - using my Alias 8 midi controller to send out and record that (as I have to date). On Main puter (S88 is hooked to) - can get lightguide to work in VEPRO (shift+instance). Forget the slaves - KK doesn't work in VEPRO (VSL and NI will likely get that figured out the 'second Tuesday of next week.) :(Ģ. Having said that and trying to feel a little like I didn't just throw away $900 for the S88 (Fatar keybed is nice I'll give them that) - here's what I have ended up with for some 'partial use of KK'ġ. If you use VEPRO - this is not a workable solution. NI did not have 'working folks' in mind when then came up with it. I feel that the S-series and Komplete Kontrol is really just made for entry level folks and probably D.J.'s, etc. Well - I have settled on a 'compromise within a compromise'. Only thing I cannot understand is why they did not provide either buttons or make the pots clickable like on a Mackie Control. Any non KK tracks eg Kontakt only, will use Midi Mode as standard, your DAW should auto focus if you set it up right to start with see here for DAW setup: Once done, when you are in your DAW and want to write CC data on a KK instance, press Shift/Instance to force it into Midi mode and you will see the keyboard change to display all your custom CC mappings.ĥ. You can add many mappings as you can create extra pages to skip to using the arrows on the keyboard.Ĥ. Any can be labelled and these will display on the scribble strips on the keyboard.ģ.

Here you can edit all the mappings you want to any of the controllers including the Mod Wheel and Pitch Bend Strip. Firstly locate the Controller Editor in the Native Instruments folder and open.Ģ. If you want to write CC data here is my tip:ġ. Okay firstly the knobs in KK mode write in automation (in Kontakt this is the tab Auto/Host Automation).
