In order to activate or deactivate the accessibility features from the KOMPLETE KONTROL key-
board while the KOMPLETE KONTROL software is running:
1. Press and hold the SHIFT button on the top left of the keyboard.
2. While holding SHIFT, press the MIXER button on the top right of the keyboard.
The accessibility features are activated or deactivated.
When the accessibility features are activated, you can choose whether or not speech output
should be enabled for names of Preset files while browsing:
1. Press and hold the SHIFT button on the top left of the keyboard.
2. While holding SHIFT, press Button 5 in the Control section.

opened after initial installation and after installing additional Instruments and Effects.
This will ensure that all Instruments, Loops, One-shots and Effects are displayed
correctly in the KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser.
