8 MIDI Communication
 
KOMPLETE KONTROL  provides  you with  flexible  MIDI control  and  host automation  capabili-
ties for easy integration with your MIDI environment.
Incoming MIDI
KOMPLETE KONTROL and the Instruments you load inside it can be controlled via MIDI and
the host (when KOMPLETE KONTROL is loaded as a plug-in):
▪ Triggering Instruments via MIDI notes: By default, incoming MIDI notes trigger the loaded In-
strument and will also be visually reflected by the Light Guide.
▪ Controlling  parameters  via  host  automation:  You  can  control  parameters  of  both  KOM-
PLETE  KONTROL  and  your  loaded  Instruments  via  host  automation  (when  KOM-
PLETE KONTROL is loaded as a plug-in).
Receiving MIDI Clock
KOMPLETE KONTROL  does  not receive  MIDI  Clock.  However,  when  using  KOMPLETE KON-
TROL as  a plug-in,  it is  automatically synchronized  to the  host  tempo.  The  tempo display  in
KOMPLETE KONTROL’s header is grayed out and tempo is adjusted in the host.
Outgoing MIDI
You can also send MIDI data from KOMPLETE KONTROL:
▪ Triggering  MIDI  instruments  and  Recording  MIDI  notes:  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  sends  MIDI
Note, Pitch Bend, and Channel Pressure (aftertouch) messages to the host and to any MIDI
application or device.
▪ Controlling MIDI applications and devices: KOMPLETE KONTROL’s MIDI mode allows you to
send Control Change and Program Change messages to any MIDI application or device.
▪ Routing and recording processed MIDI notes: KOMPLETE KONTROL outputs the MIDI notes
generated by the Scale engine and the Arpeggiator through the MIDI outputs of the stand-
alone application as well as the plug-in. You can route the MIDI notes to other MIDI instru-
ments or record them as a MIDI pattern in the host.
