Using the Keyboard in MIDI Mode

Besides using the KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard in combination with the KOMPLETE KON-

TROL software, you can also use it in MIDI mode as a versatile MIDI controller to pilot MIDI

applications or devices, both via USB or via 5-pin DIN MIDI connections.
KOMPLETE KONTROL sends MIDI Note, Pitch Bend, and Channel Pressure (aftertouch) mes-

sages to trigger MIDI instruments, as well as Control Change and Program Change messages to
control any MIDI application or device.

When you switch on the keyboard and the displays show the message

PRESS BROWSE

,

you are controlling an instance of the KOMPLETE KONTROL software.

When you switch on the keyboard and the displays show various MIDI CC numbers, the
keyboard is in MIDI mode. The keyboard directly launches into MIDI mode when the KOM-
PLETE KONTROL software is not running.

Switching to MIDI Mode

mode:
