Hell the GUI hasn't really even changed that much in that span of time either.

The core function of how Live works and the videos that would demonstrate the core fundamentais, including settings and preferences, have not really changed in 15 years. It takes some time to learn and understand how things work and that could mean hours/days/weeks of persistence. If you are a complete Newbie and you do not already have knowledge of VSTs, how they work, how DAWs and plugins work then you need to make allowances for yourself that not everything is "plug-n-play". If you have the instrument rack available but it loads empty then your Komplete Kontrol VST plugin is not detected by Ableton Live and you need to set the custom VST folder so Live will detect your installed VST plugins. Ībleton Live Standard looks so different from the available Ableton tutorial videos, they are not updated at all and are not really usefull.Īll I want is to use KK with my Ableton DAW I'm about to return the NI midi controller. I'm a complete newbie, and this is discouraging me so much. Used Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S49 MK2 MIDI Controller true false.

You could easily find cheaper controllers with more knobs, buttons, and sliders, but they won’t have nearly as good a keyboard feel. The Komplete Kontrol VST.adg appears inside the instrument rack, but it doesn't launch or work. Native Instruments Kontrol S49 (MSRP 599) sells for 499, which is a good price considering the quality of the hardware and the outstanding software bundle.
