11.1.2 About the Library and Meta-Information
To organize, find, keep track of, and provide you thousands of Preset files at any time ready for
loading, KOMPLETE KONTROL makes use of a Library. The Library contains the factory con-
tent of your KOMPLETE Instruments and NKS Instruments, Effects, as well as your own user
content.
Tags
To help you find the right Preset file quickly and efficiently, the Library implements various
techniques that go far beyond the classic folder structure of your operating system—the usage
of tags. For example, each Preset file included in the Library contains tags which describe the
Preset file according to following aspects:
▪ The content type of the Preset file, i.e. whether it originates from a Product’s factory library
or if it was created by a user.
▪ The Product where the Preset file come from—this can include, e.g., a hierarchical struc-
ture with a Product category, a particular Product, and possibly a Bank of a Product.
▪ A variable amount of tags used to describe various characteristics of the Preset file, for ex-
ample, the type of effect, the sonic character, the context in which it is used—in a word,
anything that might help you find the file.
Included Preset Files in the Library
The Preset files included in the Library are all KOMPLETE KONTROL-relevant files found in
the folders whose paths are listed in the Library page of the Preferences panel.
