Hardware Configuration for MIDI Mapping
When using the MIDI mapping feature in KOMPLETE KONTROL, a MIDI button can be configured
to send a CC message on push and also on release. This mode is referred to as ‘Toggle’ mode. A
MIDI button can also be configured to send a single message when it is clicked, as opposed to the
two that are sent in Toggle mode. This mode is referred to as ‘Trigger’ mode. To use the MIDI
mapping functionality with a third-party controller, you must configure your third-party controller to
use Trigger mode.
Share Mapping Across Instances
You need to map your keyboard to KOMPLETE KONTROL only once and you can then instantiate
new instances of the software, and the mapping will continue working across all of them.
Instances that are already open as the mapping is changed, will not receive the new
mapping automatically; for them to be updated to the new mapping you must close
your DAW and reopen it.
