5.4 Host Control and the Transport Section
When using an integrated host, KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES becomes the centerpiece of
your studio setup. You can use it to control not only the instruments running inside KOM-
PLETE KONTROL, but also key parts of the host application allowing you to spend more time
focusing on your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard when recording ideas.
If you have loaded KOMPLETE KONTROL as a plug-in into one or more tracks of your host ap-
plication, while also having one or more tracks running e.g. audio or other MIDI equipment,
your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES will automatically switch between MIDI mode and
KOMPLETE KONTROL mode, depending on the focused track. In the following sections we will
take a look at how this works.
For information on how to load KOMPLETE KONTROL as a VST, AAX or AU plug-in, re-
fer to the documentation of your host application.
Saving and loading a host project containing one or more instance of KOMPLETE KON-
TROL will recall the settings of both KOMPLETE KONTROL and any loaded instrument.
