User Manual

▪ 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. This parameter doesn’t affect the ball movement if you throw
the ball with your finger (see above).
▪ 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.
Tempo Mode
Just like Ball mode, Tempo mode simulates a ball that is attracted by the gravity of your finger.
The current position of the ball (the parameter value) is indicated by a blue LED. You can play
it in the same way as Ball mode (see above), however in this case the ball adopts its movement
to a steady beat instead of slowing down and stopping. This enables you to create tempo-
synced modulations with the Modulation Strip. When using KOMPLETE KONTROL as a plug-
in, the tempo is defined by the host. When using the KOMPLETE KONTROL stand-alone appli-
cation, you can set the tempo in the header of the software interface. In Ball mode, the follow-
ing additional settings are available for the Modulation Strip:
▪ Display menu: Lets you select one of two ways to display the current state of the Modula-
tion Strip: Bar or Dot. Bar displays a bar of lit LEDs from the default position of the strip to
the current value; whereas Dot displays a dot of lit LEDs at the current value.
▪ Rate menu: Lets you select one of 13 beat divisions to set the beat of the ball’s movement
relative to the tempo, from 1/8 to 4/1, including triplet and dotted time signatures.
▪ Friction slider: Adjusts the rate at which the ball movement catches up with the tempo.
The higher the Friction value, the quicker the ball will match the beat as set in the Rate
menu. When fully right, the ball matches the given beat instantly.
▪ Gravity slider: Adjusts the attraction of your finger on the ball: The higher the Gravity value,
the faster the ball will move. This parameter doesn’t affect the ball movement if you throw
the ball with your finger (see above).
