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.
2.4.1
Differences between Stand-alone and Plug-in Mode
Transport Functions and Navigate Controls
When KOMPLETE KONTROL is used as a plug-in within a host sequencer software (e.g., Cu-
base or Pro Tools), the transport functions and the navigate controls on the KOMPLETE KON-
TROL S-SERIES keyboard can be used to control your host application. For example, you can
switch tracks in your DAW, record arm them, and play back your recordings, all from your key-
board. For more information, see section
5.4, Host Control and the Transport Section
When using KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES in MIDI mode, you can do this even when
no instance of KOMPLETE KONTROL is running.
When KOMPLETE KONTROL is used as a plug-in within a host sequencer software (e.g., Cu-
base or Logic), KOMPLETE KONTROL receives its MIDI clock exclusively from the host appli-
cation: you cannot modify the tempo of your host project within the KOMPLETE KONTROL
plug-in itself—it is synchronized to your host’s transport functions and tempo settings. As a di-
rect consequence, when KOMPLETE KONTROL is used as a plug-in the tempo field is grayed
out and inactive in the KOMPLETE KONTROL header.
Audio and MIDI Handling
When KOMPLETE KONTROL is used in stand-alone mode, it directly communicates with your
audio and MIDI interface. You can select which physical audio/MIDI ports have to be used on
your interface, and configure crucial audio settings like the sample rate. All this is done via the
Audio and MIDI Settings
panel (for more information on this, please refer to
).
▪
On the contrary, when KOMPLETE KONTROL is used as a plug-in within a host applica-
tion, the communication with your audio and MIDI interfaces is managed by the host—the
KOMPLETE KONTROL plug-in only communicates with the host.
