3. Press the power switch on the rear panel of the keyboard to switch it on.
The keyboard is now detected by the operating system.
Non-powered USB hubs are not supported. The keyboard should always be connec-
ted directly to the USB port of the computer, or be used with a powered USB hub.
4.2. Setting up the Stand-Alone Application
When you launch the KOMPLETE KONTROL software from its installation directory, it starts as a
stand-alone application independently from a host.
By default, the application uses the standard audio interface of your computer. In order to use an-
other audio interface, and receive MIDI notes from the keyboard, you need to configure the appli-
cation in the Preferences.
Configuring Audio Interface
1. In the KOMPLETE KONTROL menu click on Edit > Preferences to open the Preferences.
2. Click on Audio to display the Audio page.
3. Select the hardware driver supported by your audio interface from the Driver drop-down
menu.
4. Select the audio interface from the Device drop-down menu.
5. Under Routings, select the left and right output channels of your audio interface you want to
use for KOMPLETE KONTROL’s master output in the Komplete Kontrol Out 1 L and Kom-
plete Kontrol Out 1 R drop-down menus.
