Host Transport Control doesn't work with Komplete Kontrol MK2 due to NI removing MCU support

Presonus Studio One users, have you guys found an easy way for auto select to work? I thought it was working, but I found in order for me to keep up with the tracks, I have to manually select the track first in daw, and then use the instance button to then select correct tracks..

Any one found a way for Auto Select to work?
thanks

 

Works for me - if I setup a MCU device and add KK DAW-1 as input and output I can get transport, record, stop and track cursor to work using transport controls and jogwheel from my Series 2 keyboard. What I can't get to work is everything else (eg pan, solo, mute etc).

 

So I deleted my last post because I did finally get it to work. I'm not really sure what I did, but I really just switched between using the Mackie profile and the generic one. The thing is it didn't work the first time I used the Mackie profile, so I'm not sure what happened. I'll have to play with it more to give some more feedback on it.

Edit: I seem to have also got it working in Mixcraft 8, but haven't fully tested it yet.

 

Thanks, I'll try it again.

I feel stupid, maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I still can't get transport control on Studio One. I tried setting new device twice, one as a MIDI controller (input from Komplete Kontrol) and the other one as Mackie Controller Unit (input from Komplete Kontrol DAW) but still no transport control. I get MIDI input if I press some button (like play, stop, record, etc.) but it just does nothing.

 

Maybe this helps?

 

I meant to come back last night and say I got it working. The video shows how. Just set it up as a 'Mackie Control' device, and select Kontrol - DAW. I made my own NI device with the same settings, and it didn't work.

I'm on a Mac, but it might work for Windows, too. Very silly how that was the issue.

The problem, if you do it not with the pre defined mackie device, is the missing hand shake and then the keyboards behave differently. Im now on it to find out what's exactly going on cause I have a mackie device and so can't have a second mackie master in cubase but I want my A49 controller to control something but unfortunately in midi mode all the buttons are missing and the 4d encoder. But native, as far as i understand, will make an own integration for cubase again!?

That's what I said to do

 

Followed step by step, but still doesn't work, thanks anyway...

EDIT: Switched off and on the keyboard, and now it works, lol. Thanks

 

Does fl studio work?

 

It seems so

 

check the second post in this thread...it says reaper, but that post addresses FL studio specifically.

Is this just for the MK1 series? I got transport controls in my MK2, but the Metro and Tempo buttons don't light up.

 

The video was about the Mk1, yes. I thought, the Mk2 should behave the same now, but from your post it seems, it‘s a bit different.

Does above post #553 help? That screenshot in the other thread was from an A-Series, that also might behave different. But the configuration should be the same.

 

Not much help in that post. Here's screenshots of how I have it set up.

 

Your screenshots are from Studio One, not FL Studio, right?

But the setup looks correct. I myself use a Mk1 in S1 and everything works as expected.

 

Right, that's Studio One. I owned MK1 at one time, and it worked fine. Something must have changed in MCU between the two versions.
I also use Ableton, and it works fine.

 

The Studio One Mackie Control Driver might not work in this case if the DAW /Driver requires a "handshake" with the actual hardware. I know that The M32 does not work with the standard MCU driver in another DAW I use because of this. Luckily another user of that DAW was able to Modify the Driver (an open source project) so that you can disable the Handshake requirement so you can use other MCU devices that do not support the Handshake protocol. I have one of those free copies of Studio One, (super limited version) that allows me to use my MCU pro, so when I get to the studio, I will see if it allows disabling the handshake...no guarantees, but will give it a shot!

Peace,

As far as i found out with cubase the a49 and I guess then the m32 too needs that handshake to enable mackie mode on those keyboards. Otherwise the transport buttons won't lit up. But I can check again.
