4.5 Connecting External MIDI Equipment to the Keyboard
 
The KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboard has dedicated MIDI sockets that allow you to di-
rectly  connect  other  MIDI  devices  using  a  5-pin  DIN  MIDI  cable  and  integrate  the  keyboard
into your MIDI setup.
The MIDI sockets on the rear panel of the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboard.
To connect your external MIDI equipment:
1. Connect the  device receiving  MIDI  signals  to  the MIDI  OUT socket  on  the  rear  panel of
the keyboard using a 5-pin DIN MIDI cable.
2. Connect the device sending MIDI signals to the MIDI IN socket on the rear panel of the
keyboard using a 5-pin DIN MIDI cable.
→ The MIDI equipment is connected.
Depending on your use case, additional configuration is required in the software:
▪ If KOMPLETE KONTROL is running as a stand-alone application, you need to activate the
corresponding MIDI inputs and outputs of the keyboard on the MIDI page of the Preferen-
ces.
▪ If KOMPLETE KONTROL is running as a plug-in in a host, the MIDI configuration is man-
aged by the host.
▪ If you are using the keyboard  as MIDI controller without a USB  connection, MIDI data is
directly sent and received via the keyboard’s MIDI IN and MIDI OUT sockets.
