4. SETTING UP KOMPLETE KONTROL
This section provides basic setup information for using the KOMPLETE KONTROL stand-alone
software, and guides you through the process of integrating KOMPLETE KONTROL in supported
hosts.
The KOMPLETE KONTROL software is installed both as a stand-alone application as well as a
VST, Audio Unit, and AAX plug-in.
The KOMPLETE KONTROL stand-alone application directly communicates with your audio and
MIDI interfaces, which you can configure in the KOMPLETE KONTROL Preferences. When KOM-
PLETE KONTROL is used as a plug-in within a host, the communication with your audio and MIDI
interfaces is managed by the host.
For details about the audio and MIDI configuration of the host, and how to load plug-
ins, please refer to its documentation.
