First, there was an issue with S88 MK2, which was just fixed. Can you try the latest release?

@ojacques thanks for this great little tool!! The light indicators are really useful with Synthesia, my son is going to love this!

Just to inform you, I managed to get it working on my macbook with Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2 just by following the README, so you should be able to close this.

Hi ojacques. first of all let me congratulate with you for this beutiful work you have done. I am trying to execute it in Windows 10 and followed the instructions, but my s88 keyboard does not work with its lights. I installed last version as you suggested (1.3) but when I load the exe it does not work. The script .exe has this output:

Connecting to Komplete Kontrol Keyboard
Opening Keyboard device...
Turn off lights for all notes
Connected to Komplete Kontrol!

The configuration for synthesia is the following: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/78043/123686434-17032f00-d850-11eb-92d8-0fe83659198c.png Unfortunately it does not work: the lights remain black. Can you kindly help me on this configuration? I am using windows 10, ni s88 mk2.

Thank you again for this wonderful script. Massimo

@mbuon, when you click on Music Output / LoopBe Internal Midi, please make sure that under "Use this device for" / "Key Lights", "Finger-based channel" is selected (the choice after Channel 16).

In any case, do you see the light guide lighting up when starting the application? If not, make sure Komplete Kontrol is not running.

Hi thanks for the answer. I did all these settings you are suggesting. I load the script synthesiakontrol.exe, select the s88 and I see the lights. image In synthesia, I make these settings: image

Hi, I found the reason: the LoopBe midi port was in "mute" state. I clicked on the icon in the tray of windows 10 and then I clicked to unmute the port. It works fine! Thanks for your support and maybe this could help others enjoying this beautiful application image

Great, thanks for the update! I had no idea the midi port could be muted...
