The Favorite bar, at the top of the Files pane.
Favorite folders can be useful if you often return to the same location while browsing your file sys-
tem in the Files pane. The default favorite folders are the roots of each of your hard disks, your
desktop folder, and your user folder.
Jumping to Favorite Folders
• Click any favorite folder in the Favorite bar to jump to that location.
The selected location is loaded in the Location bar and its content appears in the Results list.
Adding and Removing Favorite Folders
You can add your own favorite folders to the Favorites bar. This is done in the Results list:
1. Navigate to the parent folder containing the folder you want to use as a favorite so that this
folder appears in the Results list.
2. In the Results list, right-click the desired folder and select Add to Favorites from the context
menu.
You can also remove any Favorite from the Favorite bar:
• To remove a favorite folder, right-click it in the Favorite bar and select Remove from Favor-
ites.
14.6. Loading VST Plug-ins
KOMPLETE Instruments and VST plug-ins supporting the Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) are au-
tomatically loaded when you call up a Preset file from the KOMPLETE KONTROL Library.
However, you can also load plug-ins directly, allowing you to integrate any VST plug-in in KOM-
PLETE KONTROL. This way you can play your VST plug-ins using the Smart Play features, map
their parameters to the controls on the keyboard, and save Preset files for them in your KOM-
PLETE KONTROL User Library.
