(1) BROWSER: Enables Browser control functions. For more information, refer to ↑7, Browsing
the Library.
(2) PLUG-IN (MIDI): Accesses Plug-in control functions for the selected plug-in. For more in-
formation, refer to ↑8, Working with Effects. Using SHIFT + PLUG-IN (MIDI) accesses MIDI
mode that allows you to use the KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard as a MIDI controller.
(3) TRACK (Instance): When using KOMPLETE KONTROL in a host with advanced integration
features, pressing TRACK (Instance) provides you with Track control functions. For more infor-
mation, refer to ↑14, Host Integration. When using KOMPLETE KONTROL in a host without
advanced integration, this button lets you switch between KOMPLETE KONTROL instances.
(4) 4-D encoder: The 4-Directional Push Encoder (referred to as the 4-D encoder) combines the
functionalities of a conventional joystick, of a button, and of a continuous encoder. These as-
pects make it a multi-functional control element that can be used for navigation, for adjusting
values of parameters, and for controlling Products. Hence, it can be pushed to the four direc-
tions: up, down, left, and right, as well as being pressed and rotated.
