User Manual

▪ The content type of the file, i.e. whether it originates from a product’s factory library or if it
was created by a user.
▪ The product which the files comes from—this can include, e.g., a hierarchical structure
with a product category, a particular product, and possibly a bank of this product.
▪ A variable amount of tags used to describe various characteristics of the file, for example,
the type of effect, the sonic character, the context in which it is used—in a word, anything
that might help you find the file.
Note that the Library is the only other way to display and access your files: You could
also navigate to the same files in your file system. The (substantial) difference lies in
the fact that the Library organizes your files in a musically relevant way.
Which Files Are Included in the Library?
The files included in the Library are all KOMPLETE KONTROL-relevant files found in the fold-
ers whose paths are listed in the Library page of the Preferences panel. For more information
on how to manage these library folders, please refer to section ↑2.6.3, Preferences – Library
Page.
You can also save the sounds you created in KOMPLETE KONTROL. They are automati-
cally added to the User content section of the Library pane. To learn more about this,
see section ↑6.4, Saving Files to the User Library.
