3 Quick Start
After you have followed the steps in the Setup Guide: finished the installation, connected your
KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard to your computer and to the power supply, and fi-
nally made the required configurations in your DAW and the KOMPLETE KONTROL preferen-
ces, you are ready to start playing music with KOMPLETE KONTROL. In this section we will
show you some basic workflows and use cases to get you started.
This section describes the fine-tuned integration and use of KOMPLETE KONTROL and
the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard. If you do not yet own a KOM-
PLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard, continue reading in section ↑4, KOM-
PLETE KONTROL Software Overview.
KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES and MIDI Mode
When you switch on your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard, you will either notice a
message on the displays reading PRESS BROWSE or be presented with various MIDI CC num-
bers, depending on whether you have entered KOMPLETE KONTROL mode or MIDI mode:
▪ If you first started the KOMPLETE KONTROL software on your computer and then switched on
your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES, your keyboard will launch into KOMPLETE KONTROL
mode. For information on KOMPLETE KONTROL mode, continue reading in section ↑3.1,
First Steps. If instead you want to launch MIDI mode, press the INSTANCE button on your
keyboard and select MIDI MODE from the appearing on-screen overlay.
▪ If you switched on your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES without first starting the KOM-
PLETE KONTROL software, your keyboard will launch into MIDI mode. To switch to KOM-
PLETE KONTROL mode, start the software from your computer. For information on switch-
ing between modes, see section ↑2.5, MIDI Mode.
▪ If you are using your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES as a MIDI controller to control your
DAW without using the KOMPLETE KONTROL software, your keyboard is set to MIDI mode. For
information on MIDI mode, see section ↑5.2, MIDI Mode.
