Kontrol S-Series

Native Access is a small cloud-based app that handles downloads, installation, and updates for Native Instruments software.

• Download Native Access
• Start Native Access and log in with your NI username and password. If you don't have an account, you can create one in the app.

• Plug the keyboard into your computer using the included cable
• Switch it on and wait for start-up

If your computer does not have a USB-C port, you can use your own USB adapter and power supply.
Use the adapter to connect the provided USB-C cable from the keyboard’s HOST port to your computer’s USB-A port. Then connect a USB-C power supply (5V, 7.5W or higher, 1.5A or higher) to the keyboard’s USB-C power supply port.
Check the manual for more information.

• In Native Access, select Add serial, and enter your serial number as shown on the card in your product box and on the underside of the keyboard.
• It may take several minutes before your software is ready to be installed. You can check availability with the refresh button.

• Update your hardware via the Hardware Connection Service in Native Access. This is the service that connects your plugins to the hardware
• Go to Applications, located in the top navigation bar
• Install Hardware Connection Service

• Go to ni.de/kontrol-update to download the firmware installer.
• Open and run Device Updater
• Important: Do not unplug the device or let the computer go to sleep during the update process!

Go back to Native Access and install the Komplete Kontrol software and any individual Instruments and effects like Kontakt and Reaktor.
