Nice. Question: Can you use the knobs on the keyboard to adjust parameters within 3rd party VST plugins? E.g. can you twiddle the knobs of a compressor plugin, say threshold and output, at the same time with the physical knobs? If so, what's the workflow like as far as switching between plugin instances and being able to instantly alter parameters with the physical knobs on the fly?

@LanewoodStudios Жыл бұрын

Hmm interesting question yes. I think you only get the full integration with the NI instruments when you run them in the Komplete Kontrol plugin. You can add third party instruments there as well m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZseBpc-V2qnJkWg.html But I’m not sure you can do that with plugins like compressors and such (currently not at my DAW). But maybe someone else knows?

This has been very good video. Question: How does the MID mode buttons come into play (on/off)? Any suggestions for better workflow in Cubase?

Which MID button do you mean exactly? Or do you mean the midi button on the Komplete Kontrol hardware?

Thanks for this Tutorial 🤝 At the end of the week I will buy the S49, I also use cubase (12 pro) so the explanation of the settings in cubase came in handy that saves a lot of searching 😉 Am also curious how it works in cubase with midi remove has that gone well with you ?

Great, have fun with your new keyboard 😀😎! Unsure what you mean with midi remove though. if you just use the komplete integration as intended it works fine.

Hi Milena, this forum thread may help: www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/confused-on-input-output-labeling-ext-daw.270025/ I have to say with the full Cubase integration I'm mostly using "Komplete Kontrol DAW" in the Studio Setup dialog now. As for the music, it is just from the standard KZfaq sound library of copyright free music ;).

Thanks for your tutorial! Ik ben van plan dit keyboard aan te schaffen. Mijn huidige "Yamaha MOXF-6" voldoet niet (meer) aan de eisen die mijn opleiding (Audio engineer / Producer) van mij vraagt. De MOXF is namelijk beperkt tot een Sampelerate van 44.1kHz. Mijn eerste vraag aan jou is dan ook of de S61 ook een samplerate beperking heeft. Wat je in je video hebt laten zien stemt mij al hoopvol, dus nogmaals dank.

@LanewoodStudios Жыл бұрын

Thanks. Je moet je wel realiseren dat dit ‘alleen’ een midi controller is en geen sounds aan boord heeft zoals de Yamaha. Dus je moet altijd een geluidsbron aansluiten zoals de komplete kontrol app op je PC of in je DAW. Ik weet niet of dat voldoet voor je opleiding.

@eds5709 Жыл бұрын

@@LanewoodStudios Dank je voor je reactie. Ik ben van plan mijn MOXF-6 te verkopen, hoewel het een fantastisch Workstation is. Ik denk dat de Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 voor mijn persoonlijke doeleinden een betere optie is. Misschien is dit een aanvulling voor jou (of iemand die je kent?). Ik heb hem altijd gebruikt als Midi-keyboard met Cubase, dus hij ziet er nog als nieuw uit. Laat maar even weten of je het iets vindt. Groet, Erwin ;-)

I thought you were right when I just checked my installed devices in Cubase, because everything from Komplete Kontrol was missing in my 'Studio Setup' in Cubase as well. But then I noticed that everything was ok if the keyboard is turned on and connected via USB. All Komplete Kontrol items then return automatically. Is that not your problem as well?
