Hi.
I'm curious about the Native Instruments Kontrol Keyboard. Does anyone know or have tried to assign it with MainStage?
Mostly with the displays so you see what you have assigned with the buttons and knobs etc.
I've read that it's possible just as a midi keyboard but I'm curious if it's possible more "completely".

MainStage
I think the displays and LEDs are all custom and therefore MainStage can't do anything via MIDI.
Unfortunately it is to the right on the marketing material under the following text...
Use your favorite hardware.
MainStage supports your addiction to knobs, buttons, and faders. It can connect with just about any external MIDI device on the planet. And the interface is simplicity itself. Just assign a physical control to an onscreen control, and it’s connected forever (or until you change your mind). No more assigning knobs over and over for each preset. And down the road, if your hardware fails when you’re about to go on stage, it’s quick and easy to swap it out.
MainStage 3 also features pickup modes that make fixed controller knobs behave more like the endless encoder knobs found on high-end gear. If your control surface can receive status information from software, MainStage will send MIDI messages to keep your control displays in perfect sync.
Was trying to do something similar with my Maschine but it doesn't seem obvious,
Because Machine doesn't do MIDI for feedback...

You missed the main point raised by Daniel. He was asking about Komplete Kontrol. The one used in Apple's marketing materials as shown in the screenshot below. With all the keys lit up and the phrase "It can connect with just about any external MIDI device on the planet." It looks like bait and switch tbh. But certainly the marketing materials imply that it is a very straightforward thing to achieve whereas in fact you have to sit and program everything from scratch.
