2 The KOMPLETE KONTROL Workflows
KOMPLETE KONTROL brings all the sounds from KOMPLETE and the Native Kontrol Standard
(NKS) to the center of your workflows, the stand-alone workflow and the host integration work-
flow.
Stand-alone Workflow
When using KOMPLETE KONTROL in stand-alone mode, the workflow is the following:
1. Find Preset files you like from any of the Instruments and Effects in your KOM-
PLETE KONTROL Library by browsing with the keyboard, supported by the Browser’s fil-
ters.
2. Use the keyboard’s Control section to adjust the loaded Instrument and Effect(s) and cre-
ate your own unique sound.
3. Optionally, you can enable KOMPLETE KONTROL’s Smart Play features to enrich your
playing with the Scale engine and the Arpeggiator.
Host Integration Workflow
KOMPLETE KONTROL’s advanced integration in a number of hosts enables you to quickly cap-
ture ideas, with immediate access to the sounds you need, all directly from the KOM-
PLETE KONTROL keyboard.
The KOMPLETE KONTROL host integration 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 integra-
tion.
2. Find Preset files you like from any of the Instruments and Effects in your KOM-
PLETE KONTROL Library by browsing with the keyboard, supported by the Browser’s fil-
ters.
3. Use the keyboard’s Control section to adjust the loaded Instrument and Effect(s) and cre-
ate your own unique sound.
