Komplete Kontrol Template Sorter

This tool sorts the templates (keyboard layouts) from Komplete Kontrol in alphabetical order, by their name.

What is this for?

I use my Komplete Kontrol Keyboard during live shows. For each song, I created a Komplete Kontrol template which allows me to set split points and have different midi channels across the keyboard. This is very handy to play multiple instruments on one keyboard.

When I play live, I like to change the layout very quickly between songs. Best is to use the PRESET up/down keys on the keyboard, but for that the templates have to be sorted following the order of the setlist.

With this tool, I just have to:

• Rename each template with a number on the front (00.Default, 01.first song, 02.second song, ...) from Komplete Kontrol
• Use the tool to sort the Komplete Kontrol settings file
• Play!

Usage

• Rename your templates as needed in Komplete Kontrol
• Go to the folder where KK settings file (Komplete Kontrol MK2 Settings.dat) is located: C:\ProgramData\Native Instruments\Komplete Kontrol on Windows
• Download the Python script there
• Run the script
• A new .dat file is created: Komplete Kontrol MK2 Settings-sorted.dat
• After you made a proper copy of the original, replace Komplete Kontrol MK2 Settings.dat with the new file

Note: the original file is never changed by the script itself.

This is how it looks for me:
