To  access  the  Touch-Sensitive  Knobs  section  in  the  Hardware  page,  your  MASCHINE
controller must be connected to your computer and controlling the MASCHINE instance.
Moreover  if  a  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  S-Series  keyboard  is  also  focused  on  that  MA-
SCHINE instance, make sure that your MASCHINE controller is selected in the Control-
ler menu at the top of the Hardware page in order to see its settings! For more informa-
tion, see section Controller Menu in the Hardware Page of the Preferences Panel.
Example of Use
Touch Auto-write can be very handy  if a parameter already has some  modulation  recorded in
the Pattern, and you want to re-record modulation for this parameter, this time at a constant
value:
▪ With  Touch  Auto-write  disabled  (and  in  previous  MASCHINE  versions),  you  have  to  con-
stantly rotate the Knob to ensure  that the old modulation events are  actually  replaced by
the new ones. To simulate a new constant modulation value, you had no other choice than
slightly rotate the Knob incessantly around the desired value.
▪ With Touch  Auto-write  enabled, you  just  need to  keep  a finger  on  the Knob:  The  current
modulation value is recorded in new modulation events as long as you touch the Knob, au-
tomatically replacing any old modulation events at these positions.
2.4 Native Kontrol Standard
 
Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) is a software instrument format that allows third-party develop-
ers  to  integrate  with  MASCHINE  and  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  hardware  and  software  at  the
same deep level as KOMPLETE Instruments.
The Native Kontrol Standard includes:
▪ Seamless integration into the MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser for a unified
browsing experience.
▪ Full parameter mapping for instant hands-on control.
▪ Support of KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES features such as the Light Guide.
NKS  instruments  can  be  found  in  the  MASCHINE  Browser  next  to  your  KOMPLETE  Instru-
ments. All of their presets are fully tagged, so filtering in the Browser gives you matching re-
sults from both KOMPLETE Instruments and NKS instruments (see section ↑3.2.6, Selecting
