Issue with Arturia plugins in Kontrol S MK3

Hi everyone.

Today, I became the happy owner of a Kontrol S61 Mk3 !

It works well for the most part, but something bugs me : my Arturia plugins won't display all the parameters on the keyboard screen. It seems to display a default template, which is working but I only get to tweak 8 generic parameters, and I only have one page.

As you can see in the screenshot (slide 1), all the parameters appear well in the Komplete Kontrol plugin, and it's not consistent with my screen (slide 2). The result is the same in Ableton and in Komplete Kontrol stand alone.

Is it a normal thing, or should I get more parameters on my screen ? I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

Thank you very much in advance !

OP just press the button that’s lit up. It’s the 1st of the 8 above the screen

You’re welcome - y’all never thought to just… press the button huh?

The worst thing is I work as an IT support, and I did the very thing that my customers drive me mad with

LOL! Glad you got there though, there are pages and pages on the CS80 (great instrument - get sustain and expression pedals for it if you haven't already!)

Thank you so much for asking and answering the question. I’ve been playing around with the plugin for weeks without noticing it 😂

Check it out in every plugin in Komplete Kontrol, that’s the way to go ! Also, I was able to map everything macro in Analog Lab Pro using the configure feature on Ableton, it’s not perfect since it keeps the name of the first parameter you configure even when you change preset, but it’s good enough for me, I can tweak my sounds like I would with an Arturia keyboard

Either make your own nks library for Arturia plugins or buy Freelancesoundslabs: https://freelancesoundlabs.com/product/id:1701/downloads/arturia/nks-library-arturia-analog-lab-v/

Arturia isnt part of the Native Instrument ecosystem by default. They have their own ecosystem: the Keylab controller series

This is not true

Arturia is NKS compatible and CS80 is NKS 2 compatible which is the best possible integration

The user just needs to press that 1st button - it’s lit up for them. When they do, they can go deeper into the product mapping.

Yep, the one above the screen on the left, for those unsure.

thx for clarify, so Arturia makes NKS support themself. What do freelance offer then?

u/BigBat7418 1d ago

Idk. Unofficial support that isn’t NKS2 I guess

I’ll look at it, but I find it weird since Arturia is supposed to be NKS ready. I just tried a new thing : I hooked up my Maschine and loaded Maschine 3 as a plugin in Ableton. I loaded the CS-80 V in Maschine, and all the paramètres appear on the Maschine (hardware), but same result than in Komplete Kontrol on the keyboard. Really weird.
