2 The KOMPLETE KONTROL Workflows
KOMPLETE KONTROL brings all the sounds from KOMPLETE and the Native Kontrol Standard
(NKS) to the center of your workflows, the stand-alone workflow and the host integration work-
flow.
Stand-alone Workflow
When using KOMPLETE KONTROL in stand-alone mode, the workflow is the following:
1. Find  Preset  files  you  like  from  any  of  the  Instruments  and  Effects  in  your  KOM-
PLETE KONTROL Library by browsing with the keyboard, supported by the Browser’s fil-
ters.
2. Use the keyboard’s Control section to adjust the loaded Instrument and Effect(s) and cre-
ate your own unique sound.
3. Optionally,  you  can  enable  KOMPLETE  KONTROL’s  Smart  Play  features  to  enrich  your
playing with the Scale engine and the Arpeggiator.
Host Integration Workflow
KOMPLETE KONTROL’s advanced integration in a number of hosts enables you to quickly cap-
ture  ideas,  with  immediate  access  to  the  sounds  you  need,  all  directly  from  the  KOM-
PLETE KONTROL keyboard.
The  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  host integration  workflow  is streamlined  to remove  any obstacles
when sketching out a new song in a supported host:
1. Select a track that  hosts the KOMPLETE  KONTROL plug-in with the  navigation controls
on the keyboard. This is made possible by KOMPLETE KONTROL’s advanced host integra-
tion.
2. Find  Preset  files  you  like  from  any  of  the  Instruments  and  Effects  in  your  KOM-
PLETE KONTROL Library by browsing with the keyboard, supported by the Browser’s fil-
ters.
3. Use the keyboard’s Control section to adjust the loaded Instrument and Effect(s) and cre-
ate your own unique sound.
