5.5. Plug-in Chain Panel
The Plug-in chain panel is situated at the top of the Plug-in area. The Plug-in chain is the place
where you can directly load Instrument Plug-ins and Samples (Plug-in slot 1), and Effect Plug-ins
(Plug-in slot 2 onwards) and arrange them in horizontal series. Each Plug-in is loaded into a Plug-
in slot to create the Plug-in chain. The arrangement of the Plug-ins is customizable, but only an
Instrument or a Sample can be loaded in to the first Plug-in slot.
Overview of the Plug-in Chain panel.
(1) Plug-in chain: Displays the loaded Instrument or Sample, and Effects.
(2) Plug-in slot: Each Plug-in slot represents a Plug-in and displays the Product’s name and im-
age. Use the Plug-in slots to directly load Plug-ins, bypass Effects and customize the order.
For more information, refer to Working with Effects.
5.6. MIDI Assignment Editor
The MIDI Assignment editor allows you to define what kind of MIDI messages are assigned to the
controls on the KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard in MIDI mode. This way you can use the key-
board with MIDI applications or MIDI devices that require specific MIDI messages to be sent in or-
der to control certain parameters or functions. Multiple templates can be configured for quick re-
call, allowing you to prepare controller assignments for different applications and/or devices. The
MIDI Assignment editor lets you change the assignments for the knobs, keys, and a connected
pedal.
