15.2 Configuring the Pitch Strip
The Pitch Strip (left Touch Strip) on the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboard can be con-
figured by either Absolute mode or Relative mode. Both modes are described below.
Absolute Mode (default)
The Pitch Strip keyboard corresponds to the usual behavior for a pitch bend control. This be-
havior is called Absolute. The Pitch Strip simulates a simple spring that can be deflected both
up and down from its default middle position. When you put your finger somewhere on the
Pitch Strip, the value instantly jumps to the corresponding position and stays there as long as
you keep your finger on the Pitch Strip. When you remove your finger, the value moves back to
the default position.
Relative Mode
The Pitch Strip can also be set to Relative mode. This defines how the controlled parameter
responds to the movement of the finger on the Pitch Strip. When using Relative mode, the cur-
rent value of the controlled parameter is preserved when you put your finger anywhere on the
Pitch Strip. You can then move your finger up and down to change the parameter by the corre-
sponding amount. This enables you to create smooth parameter changes without paying atten-
tion to the exact position of your finger on the Pitch Strip.
15.2.1 Adjusting Relative Mode
You can adjust the rate at which the spring rebounds to its default position.
