Can KK s61 Touch Strip control anything in Massive X?

I've read that midi learn has not been implemented. I guess not even for the 16 Massive X macro knobs?

My DAW is Studio One 5 - I have not had any luck getting it to do host-based control assignment with KK s61 Mk II.

There is no 5-pin midi button in the Komplete Kontrol vst within Studio One 5.

So I figured, well, perhaps if I drop back to NI's home court...Komplete Kontrol stand alone app, which does have a 5-pin midi button. But no. In Komplete Kontrol, I can see that the touch strip is assigned to Midi Channel 1, message number 11.

But I cannot figure out how to make the touch strip do anything at all in Massive X. Any ideas?

Thanks much

 

Follow-on. From reading posts here, I can see that the only knobs assignable to midi control are the 16 macro knobs at the top of the Massive X interface. First you assign one of those to a knob within the synth settings, then you can assign that macro knob to one of the eight slots in either bank one, or bank two for the 8 physical knobs on the kk s61 mk 2. But it appears that you can't rename the knobs in the second bank of 8. They can only be named their stock names, "Macro 9, Macro 10..."

That's it (or am I wrong?). No way to assign the touch strip to one of the 16 Macros, and no way to rename the second bank of 8 macros on the KK s61 Mk II?

I kindof cringe a little when someone posts an emotional "this sucks" response to NI, but...

The sounds are *so* good, but...this sucks. (Or...correct me! I'd love to be wrong!)

It truly appears that there is no way to control *anything* in Massive X with the touch strip on the KK s61 Mk II. No?

 

Not a solution, but a clarification perhaps

Yes, as I noted above, one can assign parameters from Massive X to any of the 2 banks of 8 knobs on the KK s61 Mk II. But it appears that there is no way to assign the touch strip to any Massive X parameter from either the Massive X vst, or the Komplete Kontrol application. *However*!! See next post...

 

New sh*t has come to light!


In the Maschine app, there are midi learn buttons, and one can assign the touch strip within Maschine! Still can't figure out how to do it from within KK or Studio One vst, but I've successfully made the touch strip affect one of the 16 Massive X macro knobs from within the Maschine app.



Still doesn't help in KK or Studio One, but...progress...maybe I can save this as a template...will be back in a few...
