2.8.3 MIDI Mode and Stand-alone Operation
Beyond controlling KOMPLETE KONTROL you can also use your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-
SERIES keyboard in MIDI mode to assign and control any parameters you want via MIDI CC
(see section ↑5.2, MIDI Mode).
For more information about assigning controls via MIDI, please refer to the Controller
Editor Manual available as a PDF file in the Documentation subfolder of the Controller
Editor installation folder on your hard disk
Stand-alone Operation
When using the keyboard without a USB connection, the 5-pin MIDI ports on KOM-
PLETE KONTROL S-SERIES’ rear panel can be used to control external MIDI equipment in
stand-alone operation (see section ↑5.3, Stand-Alone Operation).
2.9 Native Map
You do not have to assign KOMPLETE KONTROL’s parameters to MIDI messages in order to
control and automate them via MIDI. Instead, KOMPLETE KONTROL has its own proprietary
mapping system called Native Map that allows you to switch your keyboard on, load an instru-
ment in KOMPLETE KONTROL, and get instant access to its parameters via the knobs, dis-
plays, and touch strips on the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard.
Automatically Assigning Controls via Native Map
Immediately after you load an instrument from the Browser, the instrument’s parameters are
automatically assigned to the eight knobs at the center of your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SER-
IES keyboard and to the two touch strips on the left-hand side. You do not need to step
through any complicated configurations to map software and hardware controls to each other.
The mapping of each knob is reflected by its corresponding display. The two arrow shaped
page buttons to the left of the knobs let you skip through all parameters of the loaded instru-
ment while automatically mapping them to the eight knobs on your keyboard. The change in
mapping is reflected by the displays, always informing you of the current mapping. For de-
tailed information, see section ↑5.5, Control Section.
