Advanced integration of KOMPLETE KONTROL is available in the following hosts:
▪ MASCHINE 2
▪ Apple Logic Pro X
▪ Apple GarageBand
▪ Ableton Live 10.0.5
Before using the KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard to control a supported host, a few configura-
tion steps are required:
3.3.1 Setting up Apple Logic Pro X and GarageBand
Apple Logic Pro X and GarageBand are automatically configured for advanced integration with
KOMPLETE KONTROL once you launch the respective application for the first time after in-
stalling the KOMPLETE KONTROL software. Ensure that the keyboard is connected and
switched on before launching the application.
A dialog asks you to confirm this after launching the application:
► When the message OSC app “KOMPLETE KONTROL A-Series” wants to connect to Logic
Pro X / GarageBand appears on screen, click OK.
The KOMPLETE KONTROL stand-alone application must be opened once before using the plug-in
within your DAW for the first time, and after installing new Instruments and Effects.

tegration with Apple Logic Pro X and GarageBand.
