Switching to MIDI Mode
To switch the keyboard between controlling the KOMPLETE KONTROL software and MIDI mode:
1. Press MIDI on the keyboard.
2. To leave MIDI mode, press any button switching to another mode.
When using the KOMPLETE KONTROL plug-in in a supported host, the keyboard
automatically switches between controlling the KOMPLETE KONTROL software and
MIDI mode, depending on the content of the selected track.
MIDI Assignment
The MIDI mode’s versatility is made possible by the MIDI Assignment editor, which allows you to
freely define MIDI assignments for the controls on the keyboard. For more information, refer to
Using the MIDI Assignment Editor.
1. Use the Page left / right buttons on the keyboard to switch between Pages you created in the
MIDI Assignment editor.
2. Use the PRESET up/down buttons on the keyboard to switch between Templates you cre-
ated in the MIDI Assignment editor.
8.4. Using the Keyboard as Stand-Alone MIDI Controller
If you power up the KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard without a USB connection (while the power
supply is connected), you can use it as a stand-alone MIDI controller by connecting MIDI devices
to the 5-pin DIN MIDI sockets on the keyboard’s rear panel.
The keybed and the controls on the keyboard send out the following MIDI messages:
