either contains or does not contain a KOMPLETE KONTROL instance, respectively. For de-

5.3 Stand-Alone Operation
If you power up your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES without an USB connection, you can
use it as a stand-alone MIDI controller by connecting your external MIDI equipment to the 5-
pin MIDI ports on KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES’ rear panel.
The keybed and the controls on the keyboard send out MIDI notes and MIDI CC messages ac-
cording to the default Template for stand-alone operation.
You can change the default Template for stand-alone operation in the Controller Editor
application by right-clicking the Template and selecting Set as Standalone Default. For
more information, 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.
