Pitch Strip
The left Touch Strip on your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard corresponds to the
usual behavior for a pitch bend control. This Pitch Strip simulates a simple spring that can be
deflected both up and down from its default position, which is the middle of the Pitch Strip.
When you put your finger somewhere on the strip, the value instantly jumps to the correspond-
ing position and stays there as long as you keep your finger on the strip. When you remove your
finger, the value moves back to the default position. This behavior is called Absolute (alterna-
tively, the Pitch Strip can be set to Relative, see below).
►
In the KOMPLETE KONTROL software, you can adjust the rate at which the spring re-
bounds to its default position via the
Strength
control on the
Pitch
page of the Touch
Strip settings (see section
). The higher the
Strength
setting, the
quicker the value will spring back. Note that the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES key-
board needs to be connected for the setting to be available.
►
You can also access the
Strength
setting on the keyboard. To do so, press
SHIFT
+
OCT-
to view and edit the Pitch Strip parameters in the Control section and adjust
STRENGTH
by
turning Knob 1.
Relative Pitch Strip Behavior
As an alternative to its default behavior, Absolute, the Pitch Strip can be set to Relative. This
changes how the controlled parameter responds to the movement of the finger on the Pitch
Strip.
