Host Control in MIDI Mode
Largely depending on the host application you use, you will use MIDI mode for host control
more or less. KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES switches automatically between KOM-
PLETE KONTROL mode and MIDI mode when you focus on tracks in your host that either con-
tains or does not contain a KOMPLETE KONTROL instance, respectively. For detailed informa-
tion on host control, continue reading below (
5.4, Host Control and the Transport Section
skip straight to information about automatic track focus, proceed to
Focus and the Navigate Section
.
5.3
Stand-Alone Operation
If you power up your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES without an USB connection, you can
use it as a stand-alone MIDI controller by connecting your external MIDI equipment to the 5-
pin MIDI ports on KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES’ rear panel.
The keybed and the controls on the keyboard send out MIDI notes and MIDI CC messages ac-
cording to the default Template for stand-alone operation.
You can change the default Template for stand-alone operation in the Controller Editor
application by right-clicking the Template and selecting
Set as Standalone Default
. For
more information, please refer to the Controller Editor Manual available as a PDF file in
the Documentation subfolder of the Controller Editor installation folder on your hard
disk.
