Komplete Kontrol m32 and Acid Pro

Miguel-Melo wrote on 4/16/2020, 11:59 AM

I'm considering buying NI's Komplete Kontrol 32 but was wondering what is the experience people have of it controlling Acid Pro.

According to this thread in NI's site there's some control support for DAWs that support Mackie Control (like Acid) but it's unclear how much of the things listed will work with Acid Pro 8 in particular. Anyone using it could please comment?

And, MAGIX, any thoughts of adding native support for NI's instruments like PreSonus did?

I have an A49, and for what it's supposed to control, it works just fine. The NI keyboards work as MCU devices, but all they do is transport control.

Enable the midi in/out called Komplete Kontrol M DAW, add it as a Mackie controller, and you can play, record, stop, and enable looping. That's about it.

So the 4-D controller doesn't do anything? It won't allow to move between tracks or move the playhead along a track?

Hey, I learned a thing! It does nudge and scrub the playhead, but it doesn't move between tracks.

I take it then the knobs do nothing in the main editor, right? Like each changing the volume of each track. You can only use them if you have an instrument open inside KK software?

Can anyone in here walk me through how to get an NI Midi Keyboard to control the Transport Controls in ACID? I have an M32, A25, and an A61. I tried following these steps from Toddbooster, but did not have success:
