Selecting a Track
As you can and most often will have multiple tracks running simultaneously in your host appli-
cation, it is important to be able to switch between them. It is easy to use your keyboard to set
focus on different tracks without the need to reach for your computer mouse. To focus your
KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard on a certain track you must first select it. To do so,
use the arrow buttons in the NAVIGATE section located at the far right on your keyboard.
►
To select a track in your host application and set your keyboard’s focus on it, press the
NAVIGATE up or down button repeatedly until the track you want is selected.
→
Your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard if now focused on the selected track.
Focusing on a Track
KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES automatically switches between MIDI mode and KOM-
PLETE KONTROL mode depending on the content of the selected track(s) in your host applica-
tion.
If you have loaded KOMPLETE KONTROL as a plug-in into one or more of your host applica-
tion’s software instrument tracks, then selecting these tracks will automatically set your KOM-
PLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard to KOMPLETE KONTROL mode: The knobs, displays,
and touch strips will be mapped accordingly and the LEDs of the Light Guide light up to re-
flect the instrument’s settings.
Using KOMPLETE KONTROL in multiple plug-in formats simultaneously can interfere
with automatic track focus. Therefore we recommend you use only one plug-in format
pro host project.
Selecting any other track—e.g. an audio track or a track dedicated to external MIDI equipment
—will set KOMPLETE KONTROL to MIDI mode and you will be able to use the keyboard for
host control. The displays will give you information regarding MIDI CC numbers and you will be
able to assign the knobs and touch strips on your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES to any
available destination(s) via MIDI learn or using the Controller Editor software.
For more information about assigning controls via MIDI, please refer to the Controller
Editor documentation in the software installation folder on your hard disk
