Controller integration

Komplete Kontrol supports MIDI controllers from a growing list of manufacturers so you can use them to control your instrument and effect plugins with NKS integration. NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) enables automatic mapping of the knobs on your controller to plugin parameters as soon as you load a preset in Komplete Kontrol. You do not have to manually configure a mapping or assign knobs using MIDI learn.

Tip

Our Kontrol keyboards are deeply integrated with both Komplete Kontrol and Kontakt, offering an immersive experience for browsing and playing instruments using NKS, as well as DAW control.

Setting up MIDI controller integration

You can set up integration for your MIDI controller directly in Komplete Kontrol.

  1. Open the Komplete Kontrol plugin in your DAW. Alternatively, you can open the Komplete Kontrol stand-alone application.

  2. Open the main menu in the header and select Controller Manager from the Controller sub-menu.
