Frequently Asked Questions

It's genuinely helpful; it streamlines the process of using Komplete instruments and many third-party plugins, saving significant time and effort in mapping.
It's a standard MIDI controller – absolutely usable with any VST instrument, although the preconfigured mappings are primarily for NI products.
