7.2. Switching Instances
When two or more instances of the KOMPLETE KONTROL software are running (e.g., as a plug-
in on different tracks of the host), you can choose which instance you want to control from the
KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard.
Switching to an Instance from the Software
• To switch the keyboard to a particular instance of the KOMPLETE KONTROL software, click
the Connect button (keyboard icon) in the header of that instance.
Automatic Switching in a Host
When using KOMPLETE KONTROL as a plug-in in a host with advanced integration, the keyboard
automatically switches between controlling the KOMPLETE KONTROL software and MIDI mode,
depending on the content of the selected track.
• If you select a track that hosts the KOMPLETE KONTROL plug-in, the keyboard automatically
switches to this instance of the KOMPLETE KONTROL software. This allows you to immedi-
ately control all of your Product’s parameters from the keyboard.
• If you select a track that does not host the KOMPLETE KONTROL plug-in, the keyboard auto-
matically switches to MIDI mode. This allows you to assign the available controls on the key-
board to parameters in the host or in an inserted plug-in via MIDI learn (if supported).
• To select a track in a supported host from the keyboard, push the 4-D encoder up or down
until the track is highlighted.
Switching to an Instance from the Keyboard
If you use KOMPLETE KONTROL as a plug-in in a host without advanced integration, you cannot
rely on automatic switching between instances. However, you can still select a particular instance
of the KOMPLETE KONTROL software from the keyboard using its displays and 4-D encoder.
To display and switch between KOMPLETE KONTROL instances from the keyboard, follow the in-
structions below:
1. Press the INSTANCE button to show all active instances of the KOMPLETE KONTROL soft-
ware on the keyboard displays.
2. Use the 4-D encoder to select an instance.
3. Press the 4-D encoder to switch to the selected instance.
You can now control the selected instance of the KOMPLETE KONTROL software from the
keyboard.
