Visual Feedback on the Light Guide
The LEDs of the Light Guide above the keybed provide a useful feedback on the state of each
key underneath. The LEDs' behavior depends on the content of the focused Sound slot:
▪ If the focused Sound slot is empty:
◦ The LEDs of the Light Guide mirror the color of the Sound slot and are dimmed.
◦ When a key is played (whether because you press it or because your keyboard receives
a MIDI note corresponding to that key), its LED turns fully on.
▪ If the focused Sound slot contains a non-KOMPLETE Instrument or a KOMPLETE Instru-
ment that does not provide any colors:
◦ The LEDs of the Light Guide mirror the color of the Sound slot and are dimmed.
◦ When a key is played (whether because you press it or because your keyboard receives
a MIDI note corresponding to that key), its LED turns fully on.
▪ If the focused Sound slot contains a KOMPLETE or NKS Instrument providing key colors:
◦ The LEDs of the Light Guide mirror the colors provided by the KOMPLETE Instrument.
◦ When you press a key, its LED turns fully on.
◦ When your keyboard receives a MIDI note, the LED of the corresponding key turns
fully on unless this key is a control key (e.g., a keyswitch) in the loaded KOMPLETE
Instrument.
When SCALE is on, the Light Guide additionally shows the modifications induced by the
Scale and Chord engine. This is described in section
tures.
You can also disable the Light Guide completely — all LEDs above the keybed will be off. The
Light Guide can be enabled/disabled via the
