In this On-Screen Overlay, the focused instance is highlighted. As you turn the Control encod-
er, the selection is indicated by a white bar underneath. Instances are organized into distinct
sections according to their host environment:
▪
Each host (that includes MASCHINE and/or KOMPLETE KONTROL plug-ins loaded) has its
own section. Within that section, every instance is represented by a picture and two fields:
◦
The overview picture illustrates the instance via a generic picture of the corresponding
NI product (a picture of MASCHINE for MASCHINE instances, or of the particular NI
product loaded in each KOMPLETE KONTROL instance).
◦
The Instrument name: For MASCHINE instances this reads
Maschine
. For KOMPLETE
KONTROL instances this shows the particular NI product loaded into that KOMPLETE
KONTROL instance.
◦
The Project/Preset name: For MASCHINE instances this reads the name of the Project
loaded in that instance. For KOMPLETE KONTROL instances this shows the name of
the preset currently loaded in the NI product within the KOMPLETE KONTROL in-
stance.
▪
The
STANDALONE
section displays the instances of MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KON-
TROL running in standalone mode, if any.
▪
At the bottom, the
MIDI MODE
section allows you to switch your keyboard to MIDI mode.
Note that, under certain circumstances, you can also do it by pressing
SHIFT
+
INSTANCE
on your keyboard: This will directly switch your keyboard to/from MIDI mode without open-
ing the On-Screen Overlay. See next paragraph for more information on this.
Keyboard Auto-Focus in Supported Hosts
In particular hosts, your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard automatically switches its
focus depending on the track selected in your host.
For more information on the auto-focus feature in supported hosts, please refer to the
KOMPLETE KONTROL manual.
In these hosts, the
INSTANCE
button of your keyboard is disabled. If your keyboard is currently
focused on a MASCHINE instance, pressing
SHIFT
+
INSTANCE
disconnects your keyboard
from that MASCHINE instance and re-enables auto-focus:
