15.3 Configuring the Modulation Strip
The right Touch Strip on the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboard is a highly versatile
modulation control that can be individually configured using Modulation Strip Modes with dis-
tinctive parameters.
15.3.1 Modulation Strip Modes
This Modulation Strip has five distinct modes, each of them offering a unique type of interac-
tion with the control. A dedicated set of parameters per mode allows you to personalize the be-
havior of the Modulation Strip. All Modulation Strip modes and their parameters are described
in detail below.
Standard Mode
This is the default mode for the Modulation Strip on the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series key-
board and corresponds to the usual behavior for a modulation control. In this mode the Touch
Strip reads the position of your finger and applies the value to the assigned Instrument param-
eter. Wherever you put your finger on the strip, the value instantly jumps to the corresponding
position and remains there. This behavior is called Absolute (alternatively, Standard can be set
to Relative, see below). In
Standard mode, the following additional settings are available for
the Modulation Strip:
▪
Display menu: Lets you select one of two ways to display the current state of the Modula-
tion Strip: Bar or Dot . Bar displays a bar of lit LEDs from the default position of the strip to
the current value; whereas Dot displays a dot of lit LEDs at the current value.
▪
Touch Ctl menu: Lets you select between Absolute (default behaviour) and Relative. When
using Relative, the current value of the controlled parameter is preserved when you put
your finger anywhere on the Modulation Strip. You can then move your finger up and down
to change the parameter by the corresponding amount.
