4. The KOMPLETE KONTROL Workflow
KOMPLETE KONTROL brings all the sounds from KOMPLETE and the Native Kontrol Standard
(NKS) to the center of your workflow. Its advanced integration in a number of hosts enables you to
quickly capture ideas, with immediate access to the sounds you need, all directly from the
KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard.
The KOMPLETE KONTROL workflow is streamlined to remove any obstacles when sketching out a
new song in a supported host:
1. Select a track that hosts the KOMPLETE KONTROL plug-in with the navigation controls on the
keyboard. This is made possible by KOMPLETE KONTROL’s advanced host integration.
2. Find Preset les you like from any of the Instruments and Effects in your
KOMPLETE KONTROL Library by browsing with the keyboard, supported by the Browser’s
lters and Preview functions.
3. Use the keyboard’s Control section to adjust the loaded Instrument and Effect(s) and create
your own unique sound.
4. Optionally, you can enable KOMPLETE KONTROL’s Smart Play features to enrich your playing
with the Scale engine and the Arpeggiator.
5. Record a new clip in the host, conveniently controlling transport and loop functions directly
from the keyboard. Again, made possible by KOMPLETE KONTROL’s advanced host
integration.
6. If you need to start over, undo and redo functions are right at your ngertips. To further rene
your recording, you can apply quantization and automation to a clip by pressing the
corresponding buttons on the keyboard.
→ You have quickly captured a musical idea and can continue sketching out a new song by
repeating the process and layering more tracks.
