10. MIDI Mode
This chapter describes the MIDI mode of the Kontrol keyboard.
On your keyboard, various elements can send MIDI data:
• Keybed controls: The keys, the Pitch and Modulation wheels, and the Touch Strip always send
MIDI messages:
• The keys send MIDI Note messages and MIDI Key Pressure messages (polyphonic
aftertouch) on MIDI channel 1.
• The Pitch wheel, the Modulation wheel and the Touch Strip can send MIDI Control
Change, Pitchbend or Program Changes messages. You can congure their respective MIDI
messages in the keyboard settings.
• Display controls: Instead of controlling the connected Kontakt or Komplete Kontrol software or
the Mixer in your DAW, the knobs and buttons below and above the display can also send MIDI
messages. This is done by switching your keyboard to MIDI mode.
Manually Switching To MIDI Mode
You can manually switch your keyboard to MIDI mode at any time:
▶ Press SHIFT + SETTINGS (MIDI) to enter MIDI mode:
→ The SETTINGS (MIDI) button lights up brightly. The display shows the MIDI assignments for
the Knobs 1–8 and Buttons 1–8.
Automatic Switch To MIDI Mode
You keyboard will automatically switch to MIDI mode in the following situations:
• If you close the stand-alone Kontakt or Komplete Kontrol application.
• If your keyboard is controlling a Kontakt or Komplete Kontrol plug-in loaded on a track in your
DAW, and you switch to another track without any Kontakt or Komplete Kontrol plug-in loaded.
