Native Instruments has released a new version of their KOMPLETE KONTROL software to control their KOMPLETE KONTROL S-series keyboard controllers. In addition to assorted bug fixes, KOMPLETE KONTROL 1.8 offers an improved Smart Play scale engine with over 100 new scales and modes, as well as a new Chord Position parameter. When set to Auto, Chord Position automatically selects voicings for natural transitions between chords. Finally, when running in stand-alone mode, Komplete Kontrol transport controls can now be used to start, stop, restart, or adjust the tempo of clock-based instruments, such as REAKTOR blocks.
KOMPLETE KONTOL 1.8 is free to all owners of S-series controllers, and can be downloaded via the Native Instruments Native Access app.
