Steinberg Cubase/Nuendo Support for KOMPLETE KONTROL A-Series
and M32
KOMPLETE KONTROL A-Series and M32 keyboards now support integration in PreSonus Studio
One.
2.3. New Features in KOMPLETE KONTROL 2.1.3
The following new features have been added to KOMPLETE KONTROL:
Audio Plug-in
The new Audio plug-in specializes in keeping audio loops playing in-sync with the project in your
host software and has the optional ability to do so without influencing the key of the loop. Further-
more, you can transpose the loop while it plays so that it fits the key of your song.
For more information on the Audio plug-in, refer to Audio Plug-In.
For more information on using the Audio plug-in, refer to Working with Loops and One-Shot Sam-
ples.
MCU Support for KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series MK2
KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series MK2 now supports integration in hosts with MCU control.
For more information, refer to Integration with Hosts using MCU Protocol.
MIDI Control Takeover Mode for Third-Party Controllers
When using third-party controllers, you can now enable Takeover mode to prevent potential pa-
rameter jumps caused by mismatching knob positions between software and hardware.
For more information, refer to Enabling Takeover Mode.
Improvements to Host Integration
Previously, you had to start KOMPLETE KONTROL as a stand-alone application to scan your li-
brary for Instruments, Samples, and Effects before using the plug-in in your host. This step is now
no longer necessary. Instead, when you use KOMPLETE KONTROL in your host directly after in-
stallation, a dialog is presented, allowing you to scan your library.
2.4. New Features in KOMPLETE KONTROL 2.1.0

MIDI Mapping for Third-Party Controllers
• It is now possible to control some of KOMPLETE KONTROL's parameters via a third-party
MIDI controller. For more information, refer to MIDI Communication.
Sounds.com Integration
• Browse on Sounds.com, create your own collections of loops and one-shots and send them di-
rectly to the KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser.
