In the KOMPLETE KONTROL software, you can select a Mode for the Modulation Strip
and edit any of the mode’s additional parameters on the Modulation page of the Touch
Strip settings (see section 5.6, Touch Strips). Note that the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-
SERIES keyboard needs to be connected for the settings to be available.
You can also select a Mode and edit its additional parameters on the keyboard. To do so,
press SHIFT + OCT+ to view and edit the Modulation Strip parameters in the Control sec-
tion. Select a mode by turning Knob 1. The additional parameters per mode are mapped
to the other knobs of the Control section.
All Modulation Strip modes and their parameters are described in detail below:
Standard: This is the default mode for the Modulation Strip on your KOMPLETE KON-
TROL S-SERIES keyboard and corresponds to the usual behavior for a modulation control.
In this mode the Touch Strip reads the position of your finger and applies the value to the
assigned instrument parameter. Wherever you put your finger on the strip, the value in-
stantly jumps to the corresponding position and remains there. This behavior is called Ab-
solute (alternatively, Standard can be set to Relative, see below). In Standard mode, the
following additional settings are available for the Modulation Strip:
Display menu: Lets you select one of two ways to display the current state of the Mod-
ulation Strip: Bar or Dot. Bar displays a bar of lit LEDs from the default position of the
strip to the current value; whereas Dot displays a dot of lit LEDs at the current value.
Touch Ctl menu: Lets you select between Absolute (default behaviour) and Relative.
When using Relative, the current value of the controlled parameter is preserved when
you put your finger anywhere on the Modulation Strip. You can then move your finger
up and down to change the parameter by the corresponding amount.
Spring: This mode simulates a simple spring that can be deflected both up and down from
its default position, which is the middle of the Modulation Strip. The current position of
the spring (the parameter value) is indicated by a blue LED. If you put your finger on the
strip, the value instantly jumps to the corresponding position and stays there as long as you
keep your finger on the strip. When you remove your finger, the value springs back to its
default position. This behavior is called Absolute (alternatively, Standard can be set to Rel-
