The Key Zone is resized. Since Key Zones cannot overlap, dragging the border of a Key
Zone simultaneously resizes the neighboring Key Zone so that both Key Zones stay “in con-
tact”.
When resizing Key Zones the lower border of the leftmost Key Zone as well as the upper border of
the rightmost Key Zone are fixed and cannot be dragged. You cannot resize a Key Zone to less
than one key, this is also true for the neighboring Key Zone that is simultaneously resized.
9.7.6. Disabling Key Zones
Disabling a Key Zone disables the assignments for all included keys: from then on, these keys will
no longer trigger any notes. For example, this can be useful when you want to avoid triggering un-
wanted MIDI messages by mistake as you play keys in the neighboring Key Zones, or simply to
have a clean, better organized keybed.
To disable a Key Zone:
1. Select the Key Zone you want to disable.
2. Select the value Off from the Type drop-down menu.
The Key Zone and its MIDI assignment are disabled and grayed out in the Keybed area. Re-
peat the aforementioned steps if you want to disable other Key Zones.
On the Light Guide of your KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard, a disabled Key Zone
will be indicated by unlit LEDs for the corresponding keys.
