User Manual

▪ Triggering instruments via MIDI notes: By default, incoming MIDI notes will trigger the load-
ed instrument and will also be visually reflected by the Light Guide. For information on the
MIDI settings, see section ↑2.6.2, Preferences – MIDI Page.
▪ Controlling parameters via host automation: You can control both KOMPLETE KONTROL and
your loaded instruments’ parameters via host automation (when KOMPLETE KONTROL is
running as a plug-in). This is described in section ↑2.10, Controlling Parameters via MIDI
and Host Automation.
Receiving MIDI Clock
When you load KOMPLETE KONTROL as a plug-in in a host application, the tempo is automat-
ically synced to host tempo. The tempo display in KOMPLETE KONTROL’s header is grayed
out and tempo is adjusted in the host.
2.8.2 Outgoing MIDI and Host Control
You can also send MIDI data from KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES:
▪ Recording MIDI notes: When KOMPLETE KONTROL is running as a plug-in in a host envi-
ronment, you can record your performance playing the keys of your KOMPLETE KON-
TROL S-SERIES as a MIDI pattern in your host application.
▪ Routing and recording processed MIDI notes: Both the KOMPLETE KONTROL stand-alone ap-
plication and the KOMPLETE KONTROL plug-in output the MIDI notes generated by the
scale engine and the arpeggiator (see section ↑7, KOMPLETE KONTROL Smart Play). You
can route the MIDI notes to other MIDI instruments or record them as a MIDI pattern in
your host application (see section ↑7.9, Scale and Arp MIDI Output).
The AU (Audio Unit) standard does not support MIDI output.
▪ Controlling the host application: You can control your supported host application from your
KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard by using the TRANSPORT and NAVIGATE sec-
tions. This is described in section ↑5.4, Host Control and the Transport Section.
