Overview of the Plug-in Chain panel.
(1) Plug-in chain: Displays the loaded Instrument and Effects.
(2) Plug-in slot: Each Plug-in slot represents a Plug-in and displays the Product’s name and im-
age. Use the Plug-in slots to directly load Plug-ins, bypass Effects and customize the order.
For more information, refer to Working with Effects.
5.6. Plug-in Area
The Plug-in area of the KOMPLETE KONTROL software is where your Instruments, Loops, One-
shots and Effects are displayed once you have loaded them from the Browser. Each Product offers
a different set of controls and parameters that are all easily controlled directly on the computer
screen or from the keyboard. Parameter changes are mutually reflected by both the displays on
the keyboard and the Instrument’s user interface in the Plug-in area.
For most Instruments, additional views are available that give you access to another
set of controls. See Instrument Views for details.
