NI Komplete Kontrol 1.8

Native Instruments’ S-Series keyboards utilise a software “brain” – the Komplete Kontrol software, which also works sans keyboard in conjunction with NI instruments – to allow sophisticated features like advanced arpeggiation and chord generation. v1.8 ushers in more of this. First, the Smart Play scale engine gets new scales and modes, now totalling over 100. Individual note positions within generated chords can be fully controlled, and voicings in Auto mode are selected for “the most natural” chord transitions. Finally, the transport section can control clock-based instruments like Reaktor Blocks, and hitting Record on an S-Series keyboard now arms Maschine. It’s a free update.
