Configuring the Touch Strips Configuring the Modulation Strip 15.3 Configuring the Modulation Strip The right Touch Strip on the KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard is a highly versatile modulation control that can be individually configured using Modulation Strip Modes with distinctive parameters. 15.3.1 Modulation Strip Modes This Modulation Strip has five distinct modes, each of them offering a unique type of interaction with the control.
Configuring the Touch Strips Configuring the Modulation Strip Spring Mode This mode simulates a simple spring that can be deflected both up and down from its default position, which is the middle of the Modulation Strip. The current position of the spring (the parameter value) is indicated by a blue LED. If you put your finger on the strip, the value instantly jumps to the corresponding position and stays there as long as you keep your finger on the strip.
Configuring the Touch Strips Configuring the Modulation Strip ▪ Friction slider: Adjusts the friction of the surface that slows down the ball once you have removed your finger. The higher the Friction value, the quicker the ball will decelerate and stop. When fully left, the ball never stops. When fully right, the ball stops instantly. ▪ Gravity slider: Adjusts the attraction of your finger on the ball: The higher the Gravity value, the faster the ball will move.
Configuring the Touch Strips Configuring the Modulation Strip ▪ Walls button: Sets the behavior of the ball when it reaches the range limits. If Walls is set to on, the ball bounces off the range limit and continues its trip in the opposite direction. If Walls is set to off, the ball jumps to the opposite range limit and continues from there in the same direction. Stepped Mode This mode divides the Modulation Strip into two to five sections, indicated by white LEDs.
