The MIDI sockets on the rear panel of the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES
To connect your external MIDI equipment:
1. Hook it up to the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard’s MIDI IN or MIDI OUT
socket on the rear panel using a standard MIDI cable.
2. If KOMPLETE KONTROL is running as a stand-alone application, activate the correspond-
ing MIDI input and/or output(s) of your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard in the
MIDI page of the Preferences (see section ↑2.6, Preferences).
3. If KOMPLETE KONTROL is running as a plug-in in a host application, the MIDI configura-
tion is managed by the host (see sections ↑2.4, Stand-Alone and Plug-in Mode and
↑2.4.3, Configuring Your Host Application). Please refer to your host documentation to
know how to configure MIDI in your host.
4. If you are using the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES without a USB connection, MIDI
data will be directly sent and received via the keyboard’s MIDI IN or MIDI OUT sockets on
the rear panel (see section ↑5.3, Stand-Alone Operation).
