(1) Page buttons: Lets you skip to the next instrument page (2) and thus remaps the knobs (4)
and displays (5) to another set of controls.
(2) PAGE display: Tells you the current control mapping. The PAGE display reflects the map-
ping by displaying e.g. 1/6 or ARP.
(3) PRESET display: Tells you the loaded instrument preset. If you are playing a KONTAKT in-
strument with key switches, the name of the key switch will show up in the PRESET display
after pressing the corresponding key (learn more about key switches in the user manual of your
KONTAKT instrument).
(4) Knobs: Give you hands-on control over instrument parameters as well as the PERFORM fea-
tures and the Touch Strip settings. The knobs are automatically mapped to the controls of the
loaded instrument via the proprietary Native Map protocol (see ↑5.5.2, Native Map). As the
knobs are touch-sensitive, you can tap them to see their value displayed by their corresponding
display.
▪ For more information about controlling instrument parameters, continue reading in section
↑5.5.3, Controlling Instrument Parameters with the Control Section.
▪ For more information about controlling the PERFORM features, continue reading in section
↑5.5.4, Controlling Smart Play with the Control Section.
▪ For more information about controlling the Touch Strip settings, continue reading in sec-
tion ↑5.5.5, Controlling Touch Strip Settings with the Control Section.
(5) Displays: Constantly give you information about the mapping between the knobs and the
loaded instrument or perform parameters.
5.5.2 Native Map
The controls in the Control section are automatically mapped to any instrument loaded in
KOMPLETE KONTROL. You do not have to assign them via MIDI learn or step through any ex-
tra configuration. This is all made possible by Native Instruments own mapping protocol Na-
tive Map.
As most instruments have more controllable parameters than there are knobs in KOM-
PLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard’s Control section, the parameters are split into pages
that can be accessed by pressing the Page buttons on the left side of the Control section.
