7.3 Transport and Tempo

If KOMPLETE KONTROL is used as a stand-alone application, it features its own Transport

and Tempo controls. They are used by sequenced KONTAKT and REAKTOR Instruments as

well as the Arpeggiator. Additionally, the tempo is used by all Instruments that allow you to set

timing parameters in relation to the musical tempo (e.g. rhythmic modulation, delay effects).

You can find the Transport and Tempo controls in the Header:

Transport and tempo controls in KOMPLETE KONTROL.

(1) Play button: Starts and stops the internal clock. This can be used to control the playback of

sequenced KONTAKT and REAKTOR Instruments.

(2) Reset button: Resets the internal clock to its start position. Consequently, sequencers in

KONTAKT and REAKTOR Instruments will start their playback from the beginning. The same

applies to the Arpeggiator.

(3) Tempo control: Sets the tempo in BPM (beats per minute).

When using KOMPLETE KONTROL as a plug-in, it is automatically synchronized to the

host. Therefore the Transport and Tempo controls are grayed out and inactive.
