13 MIDI Communication
KOMPLETE KONTROL provides you with flexible MIDI control and host automation capabili-
ties for easy integration with your MIDI environment. In this section you are provided with over-
all information about MIDI communication and Host automation.
Incoming MIDI
KOMPLETE KONTROL and the Instruments you load inside it can be controlled via MIDI and
the host (when KOMPLETE KONTROL is loaded as a plug-in):
▪ Triggering Instruments via MIDI notes: By default, incoming MIDI notes trigger the loaded In-
strument.
▪ Controlling parameters via host automation: You can control parameters of both KOM-
PLETE KONTROL and your loaded Instruments via host automation (when KOM-
PLETE KONTROL is loaded as a plug-in).
Receiving MIDI Clock
KOMPLETE KONTROL does not receive MIDI Clock. However, when using KOMPLETE KON-
TROL as a plug-in, it is automatically synchronized to the host tempo. The tempo display in
KOMPLETE KONTROL’s header is grayed out and tempo is adjusted in the host.
Outgoing MIDI
You can also send MIDI data from KOMPLETE KONTROL:
▪ Triggering MIDI instruments and recording MIDI notes: KOMPLETE KONTROL sends MIDI
Note and Pitch Bend messages to the host and to any MIDI application.
▪ Controlling MIDI applications: KOMPLETE KONTROL’s MIDI mode allows you to send Con-
trol Change and Program Change messages to any MIDI application.
▪ Routing and recording processed MIDI notes: KOMPLETE KONTROL outputs the MIDI notes
generated by the Scale engine and the Arpeggiator through the MIDI outputs of the stand-
alone application as well as the plug-in. You can route the MIDI notes to other MIDI instru-
ments or record them as a MIDI pattern in the host.
