Note: Live's auto-selection may choose the Komplete Kontrol Mk2 instead of the Mk1 automatically. If it does, simply choose the Komplete Kontrol Mk1 from the Control Surface list. Go to the File / Folder tab of Live's Preferences and make sure the Use Audio Units and Use VST Plug-in System Folders options are activated. If these options were not activated, press the Rescan button after having set them to On. If you skip this step, you will not be able to load KOMPLETE KONTROL correctly in Live. Read this article for more information on plug-in administration in Live. Make sure that you are connecting the sound card to a USB 2.0 port. Although it is common to operate an NI audio interface via a USB 3.0 port as they are found in new generation computers, some systems may pose some connectivity issues with USB 3.0 ports. Make sure your account is selected under Current User and go to the Login Items tab. Verify if both NIHardwareAgent and NIHostIntegrationAgent are listed in the login items. Go to the File / Folder tab of Live's Preferences and make sure the Use Audio Units and Use VST Plug-in System Folders options are activated. If these options were not activated, press the Rescan button after having set them to On.

Note: New NI devices make use of the WASAPI Exclusive technology and do not require a driver installation. These "class-compliant" drivers can only be used on Windows 10 or higher. Read this article for more information. Warning: If you attempt to use another third-party power supply, make sure that it has the same specifications as the NI power supply (output wattage and current), otherwise there is a risk of voiding the device's warranty.

The other main difference between the S- and A-Series is weight. The S-Series is reassuringly heavy, well built and sturdy. The A49 on test was a ’carry up the stairs under one arm’ job when I took it in my studio which, probably because I’m always lugging gear around, I see as a good thing. Okay, it’s not as sturdy as the S, but I can’t see anything too flimsy about it, either. It’s not going to fall apart any time soon.

The lower area of the window displays the properties of the USB device. In the Receive From and Send To tabs, select the keyboard that you want to use. In our case, it is the KONTROL S49 MK3. Note: This feature requires Pro Tools 2021/10 or later, and is not available with the S-Series MK1 keyboards.
