To access the settings for your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard in the Hard-
ware page of the Preferences panel, your keyboard must be connected to your computer
and controlling  the MASCHINE instance.  Moreover  if a controller  from  the MASCHINE
family is also focused on the MASCHINE instance, make sure that your keyboard is se-
lected  in  the  Controller  menu  at  the  top  of  the  Hardware  page  in  order  to  see  its  set-
tings! For more information, see section ↑2.6.8, Controller Menu in the Hardware Page
of the Preferences Panel.
15.3 Navigating and Controlling Your Sounds within a Group
 
This  section  describes  how  your  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  S-SERIES  keyboard  integrates  into
your MASCHINE Project and its various Sounds and Groups.
Your Keyboard Controls the Focused Sound in the Focused Group
When  it  is  connected  to  a  MASCHINE  instance,  your  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  S-SERIES  key-
board always controls the focused Sound slot in the focused Group of your Project:
▪ The keys trigger notes in  the focused Sound. The Pitch  and Modulation strips affect that
Sound as well.
▪ If your keyboard is in Instrument mode (the default mode), Knobs 1–8 control the parame-
ters in the Parameter pages of the selected Plug-in in the focused Sound.
Besides  Instrument  mode,  your  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  S-SERIES  keyboard  can  be  in
Scale Edit mode or Arp Edit mode, which is indicated by the PAGE field in the leftmost
display reading  SCALE  or  ARP,  respectively.  In  order  to  use Knobs  1–8  to  control  the
Plug-in parameters of the focused Sound, switch back to the default Instrument mode
by pressing BACK. For more information on Scale Edit and Arp Edit mode, see section
↑15.5, Using the Perform Features.
The  focus  of  Knobs  1–8  on  your  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  S-SERIES  keyboard  is  synchronized
with the focus at the Sound level in the MASCHINE software (and on any connected controller
from the MASCHINE family) as follows:
▪ If  the  Control  area  in  the  MASCHINE  software  currently  displays  the  Plug-ins  of  the  fo-
cused Sound, Knobs 1–8 on your keyboard mirror the parameters of the selected Parameter
page.
