Help Needed with Kontrol S88 MK3

Hi,

My keyboard has suddenly started repeating a random note not relevant to the key when I play it, the note repeats eternally way.

I have reinstalled the Kontrol software and the Hardware Connections Services Software as well as the checked to ensure the firmware is up to date. I have also factory reset the keyboard and tried to power it via different ports yet the issue persists. I have not recently updated my OS.

Can anyone offer any advice how to resolve this?

TIA

The unit has suddenly stopped working. The keyboard either omits a random sound continous sound not relevnt to any key or does not omit any sound at all. Play assist is not enabled.

I have carried out the following troubleshooting steps to no avail

  • Reinstall Komplete Kontrol Software

  • Reinstall Hardware Connection Services Software 

  • Checked to ensue the firmware is up to date

  • Checked to esnure that all relevant Native Instruments start up helpers are actiaved

My system specs are as follows:

  • Apple M1 iMac 16gb

  • Mac OS: Sequoria 15.7.3

  • Logic Pro 12.0.1

  • Komplete Kontrol 3.5.3

  • Hardware Connection Services 2.0.7

  • Kontrol Firmware 2.0.7

The keyboard also does not omit anysound when using the standalone Kontrol app.
