With Touch Auto-write disabled (and in previous MASCHINE versions), you have to con-
stantly rotate the Knob to ensure that the old modulation events are actually replaced by
the new ones. To simulate a new constant modulation value, you had no other choice than
slightly rotate the Knob incessantly around the desired value.
▪
With Touch Auto-write enabled, you just need to keep a finger on the Knob: The current
modulation value is recorded in new modulation events as long as you touch the Knob, au-
tomatically replacing any old modulation events at these positions.

Native Kontrol Standard
Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) is a software instrument format that allows third-party develop-
ers to integrate with MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware and software at the
same deep level as KOMPLETE Instruments.
The Native Kontrol Standard includes:
▪
Seamless integration into the MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser for a unified
browsing experience.
▪
Full parameter mapping for instant hands-on control.
▪
Support of KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES features such as the Light Guide.
NKS instruments can be found in the MASCHINE Browser next to your KOMPLETE Instru-
ments. All of their presets are fully tagged, so filtering in the Browser gives you matching re-
sults from both KOMPLETE Instruments and NKS instruments (see section
). And when you load a preset from an NKS instrument, its parameters
are mapped to the controls on your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard in a meaningful
way, just like any preset from your KOMPLETE Instruments.
NKS instruments are automatically added to your Library when you start MASCHINE or KOM-
PLETE KONTROL for the first time after installing the instrument (except KONTAKT instru-
ments with NKS support, see below). The folders containing the preset files for NKS support
can be managed in the Factory pane on the Library page of the Preferences (see section
3.7.5, Preferences – Library Page
