Browser & Controls

All factory presets have been saved with tagging, sound previews and database/image files for the Komplete/Maschine browser.

Presets have detailed controller maps that cover most of the main controls and additional enhancements may be made in future if there is user feedback.

Banks can be used to select the library and also the sub category of presets, tho note that Komplete Kontrol V3 has a bug at the time of release that causes the sub-bank selector to not display. We suggest contacting Native Instruments to ask for this to be fixed as it has been 1.5 years since it was raised as an issue.
