The arpeggiator works seamlessly with every Komplete Instrument. ‘Wrong’ notes can be automatically re-mapped so melodies are always in tune. Many widely-used musical scales can also be mapped to the white keys. The integrated scale mapping features deliver fast access to new melodic possibilities – notes of the currently selected scale light up on the Light Guide. Chord Set mode provides ready-to-play progressions that can inspire and augment original compositions or add new flavor to remixes. Chord mode lets producers play complex chords with single keys. The keyboards also offer Smart Play features, designed to accelerate workflow and stimulate new ideas.The lights also provide performance feedback – scales, chords, and arpeggios light up across the keyboard as they are played. This puts the instrument’s layout on the keyboard at a glance without having to look at the software. For example, key switches for Kontakt Instruments such as Action Strikes are illuminated in one color, while keys used for performance are lit with another. The Light Guide shows key switches, zones, and more on multi-color LEDs positioned just above the keys.Each instrument was carefully mapped by NI sound designers to arrange the most relevant parameters on pages laid out on the keyboard’s display.

Native Map technology automatically maps all key parameters for each Instrument to the touch-sensitive controller knobs – all clearly visible on the keyboards’ Clear View display.Instead of browsing by instrument, users can now search by sound. The Komplete Browser unifies the instruments in Komplete, delivering tag-based access to all Instrument presets from one plug-in interface.
