Host Control and the Transport Section
With KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES as the centerpiece of your studio setup, you will want
to use it to control not only the instruments running inside KOMPLETE KONTROL, but also the
host application running KOMPLETE KONTROL as a plug-in. This gives you direct hands-on
control of your host application and allows you to select and record arm tracks as well as re-
cord and play back clips in your host project.
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.

ior of the
