    Will we be able to display custom mapped parameter names on the displays below the knobs?

    E.g. if I use Mainstage for live performances i don't want to have all 8 knobs change parameters for one Komplete sound, I want to map them to different Komplete and 3rd party plugins. As this is surely possible by sending standard midi CCs - is there still a way to display the correct parameter names then?

    EDIT:
    Like Kore... ;)

    when Maschine works with an NI Komplete, Instrument knob settings are seen in Maschine using a specific proprietor - whatever the word is - method that has been built into Maschine - this has nothing to do with Standard MIDI CCs.

    i would then presume that if you load a Komplete Instrument into the Komplete Kontrol software via an S-Series Keyboard, then the way that the knobs communicate with the parameters of that NI INstrument will also not be with CCs.

    to be honest, Kore did not use CCs to communicate with NI products either.

    i get the feeling that if you change to different 'Instance' of KK in a DAW, then the knobs will be updated to reflect the change of the Instrument.

    as yet, i have read nothing about Kompete Kontrol and 3rd part plugins, so i have no answer to your other question. Maschine has the use of the Controller Editor Application, maybe KK will have that as well? perhaps you can make a map for specific CCs - because the Controller App generally uses CCs, can be renamed to reflect which parameters that the CCs are controlling.
