Native Kontrol Standard - Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Manual

To access the Touch-Sensitive Knobs
controller must be connected to your computer and controlling the MASCHINE instance.
Moreover if a KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboard is also focused on that MA-
SCHINE instance, make sure that your MASCHINE controller is selected in the
ler menu at the top of the
tion, see section Controller Menu in the Hardware Page of the Preferences Panel.
Example of Use
Touch Auto-write can be very handy if a parameter already has some modulation recorded in
the Pattern, and you want to re-record modulation for this parameter, this time at a constant
value:
▪ With Touch Auto-write disabled (and in previous MASCHINE versions), you have to con-
stantly rotate the Knob to ensure that the old modulation events are actually replaced by
the new ones. To simulate a new constant modulation value, you had no other choice than
slightly rotate the Knob incessantly around the desired value.
▪ With Touch Auto-write enabled, you just need to keep a finger on the Knob: The current
modulation value is recorded in new modulation events as long as you touch the Knob, au-
tomatically replacing any old modulation events at these positions.

Native Kontrol Standard

Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) is a software instrument format that allows third-party develop-
ers to integrate with MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware and software at the
same deep level as KOMPLETE Instruments.
The Native Kontrol Standard includes:
▪ Seamless integration into the MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser for a unified
browsing experience.
▪ Full parameter mapping for instant hands-on control.
▪ Support of KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES features such as the Light Guide.
NKS instruments can be found in the MASCHINE Browser next to your KOMPLETE Instru-
ments. All of their presets are fully tagged, so filtering in the Browser gives you matching re-
sults from both KOMPLETE Instruments and NKS instruments (see section
