Native Instruments KOMPLETE KONTROL S88 MK2 88-Key Controller for KOMPLETE - Manual (Page 129)

▪ Trigger: In this mode, only one message is sent when you hit the control element. For in-
stance, this can be useful for switching to another program (preset, patch…) or for trigger-
ing one-shot samples (e.g. drum sounds or any other envelope-controlled sounds). In this
mode, you thus find only one
VALUE setting, defining the value to be sent when you hit the
control element. It goes from 0 to 127 (127 by default).
▪ Gate: In this mode, which is only available for the Note message type, the control element
sends MIDI Note messages. When you press a control element, it sends a MIDI Note On
message — when you release the control element, it sends a MIDI Note Off message. For
instance, this can be useful to temporarily enable an effect while playing. Since the off
state is predefined (it’s the MIDI Note Off message), you find instead a single VALUE set-
ting defining the velocity of the MIDI Note On message.

Type

ing to the key you press/release on your keyboard.

the previous MIDI assignment is recalled.
