Keyboard integration

ekphore supports NKS keyboard integration with a few selected devices, follow the guide below in order to make it work.

Supported devices

• Komplete Kontrol S49 MK3
• Komplete Kontrol S61 MK3
• Komplete Kontrol S88 MK3

Setting it up

Linux

You will need to setup udev rules in order to allow your user access to the keyboard.

Write this to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-libnks.rules:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="17cc", ATTR{idProduct}=="2410", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="17cc", ATTR{idProduct}=="2100", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="17cc", ATTR{idProduct}=="2110", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="17cc", ATTR{idProduct}=="2120", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"

Then reload the rules and replug the keyboard:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=usb --attr-match=idVendor=17cc

Once that is done you can either use the standalone version, or start ./nksd, included in the archive, in order to have keyboard integration with the plug-ins.

macOS

ekphore relies on a daemon (nksd) to add keyboard integration when using plug-ins. As such, you will need to install Ekphore.app as explained in installing ekphore even if you only use the plug-ins.

The daemon will autostart for you.

Windows

ekphore relies on a daemon (nksd) to add keyboard integration when using plug-ins. As such, you will run this daemon manually when using the plug-ins so that they can communicate with your keyboard.
