7.5.5 Preferences – Plug-ins Page

The Plug-ins page allows you to manage your VST plug-ins in KOMPLETE KONTROL.

At the top of the page, the Manager and Locations buttons allow you to switch between the

Manager pane and the Locations pane.

Manager Pane

The Manager Pane allows you to view and manage all VST plug-ins available in KOM-

PLETE KONTROL. By default, all available plug-ins are activated for use in KOMPLETE KON-

TROL.

► To deactivate a plug-in for use in KOMPLETE KONTROL, click on the checkbox icon next

to its name so it is unchecked.

The option to Always use latest version of NI Plug-ins selects whether or not your Library con-

tent is always loaded with the latest version of the associated plug-in. If this option is disabled,

your Library content is loaded with the lowest required version of the associated plug-in found

on the computer.

For example, this option is required if you have installed both the full version of REAK-

TOR 5 as well as a KOMPLETE Instrument that came with REAKTOR 6 Player. By disa-

bling the option, the REAKTOR 5 Factory Library will be loaded with the full version of

REAKTOR 5, while the KOMPLETE Instrument will be loaded with REAKTOR 6 Player.

This is necessary since the REAKTOR 5 Factory Library is not authorized for use with

REAKTOR 6 Player.
