Example of Use
Touch Auto-write can be very handy if a parameter already has some modulation recorded in
the Pattern, and you want to re-record modulation for this parameter, this time at a constant
value:
▪
With Touch Auto-write disabled (and in previous MASCHINE versions), you have to con-
stantly rotate the Knob to ensure that the old modulation events are actually replaced by
the new ones. To simulate a new constant modulation value, you had no other choice than
slightly rotate the Knob incessantly around the desired value.
▪
With Touch Auto-write enabled, you just need to keep a finger on the Knob: The current
modulation value is recorded in new modulation events as long as you touch the Knob, au-
tomatically replacing any old modulation events at these positions.
2.4 Native Kontrol Standard
Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) is a software instrument format that allows third-party develop-
ers to integrate with MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware and software at the
same deep level as KOMPLETE Instruments.
The Native Kontrol Standard includes:
▪
Seamless integration into the MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser for a unified
browsing experience.
▪
Full parameter mapping for instant hands-on control.
▪
Support of KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES features such as the Light Guide.
NKS instruments can be found in the MASCHINE Browser next to your KOMPLETE Instru-
ments. All of their presets are fully tagged, so filtering in the Browser gives you matching re-
sults from both KOMPLETE Instruments and NKS instruments (see section
↑
3.2.6, Selecting
Type and Mode Tags ). And when you load a preset from an NKS instrument, its parameters are
mapped to the controls on your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard in a meaningful
way, just like any preset from your KOMPLETE Instruments.
