9 Controlling Instrument and Effect Parameters
This  section  introduces  you  to  controlling  Instrument  and  Effect  parameters  using  the  KOM-
PLETE KONTROL keyboard and explains how to customize parameter mappings.
9.1 About Pre-Mapped Instruments and Effects
All KOMPLETE and NKS Instruments and Effects are pre-mapped, which means that the key-
board’s knobs and Touch Strips are automatically assigned to key parameters as soon as you
load an Instrument in KOMPLETE KONTROL. You do not have to manually configure a map-
ping or assign knobs via MIDI learn.
You  can  customize  the  parameter  mapping  for  each  Preset  file  in  the  Plug-in  Panel  of  the  KOM-
PLETE KONTROL software. For more information, refer to  ↑9.4, Customizing Parameter Mappings
using the Plug-in Panel.
9.2 Adjusting Parameters
Once  you  have  loaded  an  Instrument,  the  eight  knobs  on  the  keyboard  are  automatically  as-
signed  to  eight  Instrument  parameters.  Whenever  you  turn  a  knob  on  the  KOMPLETE  KON-
TROL  keyboard,  the  mapped  parameter  visually  reflects  the  movement  in  the  KOM-
PLETE KONTROL software.
► To  adjust  an  Instrument  parameter,  turn  the  corresponding  knob  on  the  keyboard.  The
mapping of each knob is indicated by the display.
