13.4. Switching between the Audio Plug-In and the Sampler
Plug-In
When you intend to use the loaded loop in the Audio plug-in with the Sampler plug-in instead, you
can switch from Audio plug-in to Sampler plug-in. Switching from Audio plug-in to Sampler plug-in
retains the loaded loop and vice versa.
To switch from the Audio plug-in to the Sampler plug-in or vice versa:
1. Select the first Plug-in slot in the Plug-in chain.
2. Open the KOMPLETE KONTROL menu in the header and select Instruments > Internal >
Sampler, or Instruments > Internal > Audio.
The Audio plug-in has switched to Sampler plug-in. The loop retains loaded.
13.5. Playback Behavior of Audio Plug-In in Host Software
When you start playback in your host software, the loop will be triggered and play continuously.
However, the loop will only be audible in locations where you placed notes in the host sequencer.
Furthermore, when you use the playback engine mode Stretch, the pitch of the loop will be trans-
posed based on the pitch of the note used. For example, note C3 will play the sample at its original
pitch, while C4 will play the sample at one octave higher.
You can also play loops with the keyboard in your host software:
• When the transport is not running, you can trigger the loop by pressing a key.
• When the transport is running and you press a key, a gate will open at the positions where
notes are placed in the host sequencer.
For more information on playback engine mode, refer to Audio Plug-In.
