14. MIDI COMMUNICATION
KOMPLETE KONTROL provides you with flexible MIDI control and host automation capabilities for
easy integration with your MIDI environment. In this section you are provided with overall informa-
tion about MIDI communication and Host automation.
Incoming MIDI
Instruments, Loops and One-shots loaded inside KOMPLETE KONTROL 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.
• Controlling parameters via host automation: You can control parameters of both KOM-
PLETE KONTROL and your loaded Instruments via host automation (when KOMPLETE KON-
TROL 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 KOM-
PLETE 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 and Pitch Bend messages to the host and to any MIDI application.
• Controlling MIDI applications: KOMPLETE KONTROL’s MIDI mode allows you to send Con-
trol Change and Program Change messages to any MIDI application.
• 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 in-
struments or record them as a MIDI pattern in the host.
For more information on Host Automation, refer to Host Automation.
14.1. Mapping MIDI Controls to Third-Party Controllers
MIDI Mapping enhances the user experience and provides more control over sound, workflows
and performance. KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboards are ready-mapped to the software. Third-
party keyboards and controllers can also be used to control some of the parameters in the KOM-
PLETE KONTROL software. These parameters include the eight knobs of the Native Map, param-
eter page switching, preset switching and plug-in switching.
