2.4. New Features in KOMPLETE KONTROL 2.1.3
The following new features have been added to KOMPLETE KONTROL:
Audio Plug-in
• The new Audio plug-in specializes in keeping audio loops playing in-sync with the project in
your host software and has the optional ability to do so without influencing the key of the loop.
Furthermore, you can transpose the loop while it plays so that it ts the key of your song. For
more information on the Audio plug-in, refer to Audio Plug-In. For more information on using
the Audio plug-in, refer to Working with Loops and One-Shot Samples.
MCU Support for KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series MK2
• KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series MK2 now supports integration in hosts with MCU control. For
more information, refer to Integration with Hosts using MCU Protocol.
MIDI Control Takeover Mode for Third-Party Controllers
• When using third-party controllers, you can now enable Takeover mode to prevent potential
parameter jumps caused by mismatching knob positions between software and hardware. For
more information, refer to Enabling Takeover Mode.
Improvements to Host Integration
• Previously, you had to start KOMPLETE KONTROL as a stand-alone application to scan your
library for Instruments, Samples, and Effects before using the plug-in in your host. This step is
now no longer necessary. Instead, when using KOMPLETE KONTROL in your host directly after
installation, a dialog is presented allowing you to scan your library.
2.5. New Features in KOMPLETE KONTROL 2.1.0
The following new features have been added to KOMPLETE KONTROL:
MIDI Mapping for Third-Party Controllers
• It is now possible to control some of KOMPLETE KONTROL's parameters via a third-party MIDI
controller. For more information, refer to MIDI Communication.
Sounds.com Integration

directly to the KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser.
