PLEASE IMPROVE Midi Templates (load/export) or LET CHOOSING THEM via MIDI

Please improve the MIDI TEMPLATE section of KOMPLETE KONTROL:

  1. Most important please add the ability to activate a template by LOADING a file or by let to assign a program change to an existing template.
  2. Please add the ability to start the standalone program in MIDI MODE or just rember the last section state / eventually enable a COMMAND SWITCH to LOAD (from a .DAT file) Example: "Komplete Kontrol.exe" /f="full_path_to_dat_file_to_load_and_activate". Obviously in this case you should let to export every single template in a separate file.
  3. or (maybe a better solution) to SELECT the name of the current template to activate. Example: "Komplete Kontrol.exe" /t="name_of_template"

Now I achive this goal by manually changing the .DAT file in the Komplete Kontrol folder and by sending it to the keyboard (S61 MK2) using my own developed upload tool. Unfortunately I need to manually switch from MIDI to PLUGIN and back again to activate the new MIDI LAYOUT.

I hope that this could be a temporary workaround, I think that I'm not the only one that uses a different MIDI TEMPLATE for each song I play. I think that this function could be very VERY usefull for many users.

    At least it would be great, if one can filter or search for templates with a simple search-field.

    I have lots of MIDI-Templates and it makes me sick having to contol or find them via mouse. 😓

    Hi, it's been passed 2 YEARS, now is it possible to change MIDI TEMPLATES via PROGRAM CHANGE or by using a parameter that a common PLUGIN HOST can save and load in a different configurations?

    Dear OP, what version of keyboard controller are you using, and what version of Komplete Kontrol?

    What OS are you on and what's the version number?

    Thanks!

    Sorry for the delay (I was on vacation) and thanks for the help.

    I have recentry installed the latest version 3.3.2 on W10 and I have an S88 MK3. From my VST HOST (Cantabile), I would like to set the keyboard lights according to the song I choose. I see two paths (neither of which was currently applicable): 1. use a MIDI plugin, I assume KONTROL ITSELF with the possibility of setting the chosen layout as a parameter 2. start KOMPLETE CONTROL via command line to load a MIDI template from the predefined ones. In no case was I able to achieve my goal.

    Thank you for the support, any help is appreciated.”
