Starting the KOMPLEXER VST
After connecting a suitable keyboard to your computer via MIDI or USB, check to make
sure that your audio hardware is working properly.
The KOMPLEXER VST can either be used as a VST instrument (VSTi) within a host
(such as Cubase, Live or Sonar) or called up as a standalone program.
Where applicable, refer to the documentation for the respective host software for addi-
tional information about loading VST instruments.
To call up KOMPLEXER VST as a standalone program, in the Windows Start menu, open
KOMPLEXER Standalone. Then, under DEVICES
MIDI, set the MIDI port to which
your keyboard is connected. Under DEVICES
WAVE, select the corresponding driver
of your audio system. If you have an audio interface with ASIO driver, set the correct
audio channels under ASIO CHANNEL SELECTION.
Playing sounds
Go to the KEYBOARD screen of the KOMPLEXER VST. When you start it for the first
time, a preset bank consisting of 128 sounds is loaded. Play these sounds via your
keyboard's MIDI channel 5. You can also play the sounds via MIDI channel 1, but some
sounds consist of multiple layers (refer to the section on "Sound architecture"). All layers
are addressed at the same time via MIDI channel 5. The sounds are displayed in groups
of 16, between which you can switch using the buttons to the left. The eight large MACRO
controllers are always allocated to different parameters of one sound; you can use these
to change sounds quickly while playing. The MACRO controllers can be addressed via
both MIDI controllers and the host automation.
You can acquire additional high-quality sounds. The About screen (which you can reach
by clicking the KOMPLEXER VST logo) includes links to the online stores of providers of
these sounds.
