S88 MK2 Lights not operating on Synthesia #23

First of all, thank you so much for all the hard work! I am having an issue with the S88 MK2, where the lights are not working with synthesia. When I run the SynthesiaKontrol it does the full spectrum light show on the keyboard, however I can not get it to work when using Synthesia. Attached are photos, I am on Windows 10. I look forward to using this set up with my piano students!

First, there was an issue with S88 MK2, which was just fixed. Can you try the latest release. Also, don't keep KK opened, this is going to cause issues with the lights. If you want to play the notes through a VST, just do it without KK opened.

I've just set everything up for the first time with S88 Mk2. Can confirm - if KK is running, there will be flashing blue lights all across the keyboard whenever you press the S88 keys. Closing KK and directly running Kontakt fixes the issue. Be aware - Kontakt will need to be manually adjusted a little when ran standalone, specifically you'll need to go Settings -> MIDI and set KOMPLETE KONTOL - 1 to Port A and KOMPLETE KONTROL EXT - 1 to Port B.

Without KK running though, you're not able to control the plugin (whatever instrument you've chosen) from the S88 deck. Or maybe I don't know how, but just something I noticed.
