▪ KOMPLETE KONTROL mode: Your keyboard focuses on a running KOMPLETE KONTROL
instance (standalone or plug-in). For more details on this mode, please refer to the KOM-
PLETE KONTROL manual.

▪ MASCHINE mode: Your keyboard focuses on a running MASCHINE instance (standalone or
plug-in).
You can switch the focus of your keyboard at any time via various ways:
▪ When loading a new instance of MASCHINE or KOMPLETE KONTROL, your keyboard can
automatically switch to that new instance under certain circumstances.
▪ From your keyboard, you can choose which instance to focus on.
▪ From any instance, you can “call” your keyboard so that it focuses on this particular in-
stance/software.
These various situations are described in the following paragraphs.
Default Focus for New Instances
When you load a new instance (standalone or plug-in) of MASCHINE or KOMPLETE KONTROL,
your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard can automatically switch its focus to that new
instance depending on the current situation:
▪ If your keyboard is currently focused on a MASCHINE instance or is in MIDI mode, it will
automatically switch to the new MASCHINE or KOMPLETE KONTROL instance.
▪ If your keyboard is currently focused on a KOMPLETE KONTROL instance, it will automati-
cally switch to a new KOMPLETE KONTROL instance. If you load a new MASCHINE in-
stance, your keyboard will remain focused on its current KOMPLETE KONTROL instance.
Switching the Focus from the MASCHINE Instance: Controller Menu
You can call the connected KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard from any running MA-
SCHINE instance, may it run as a standalone application or as a plug-in in your DAW.
