NOTE: For other software programs use the MIDI Control Center software to alter their assignments.
2.1.2. Keyboard
MiniLab MkII has a 25-key, velocity-sensitive, slim-key keyboard with a control surface
designed for perfect integration with the Analog Lab Lite software interface.
2.1.3. Pitch + Modulation touch strips
If you touch the Pitch bend strip at its center and move your finger forward or backward
it will alter the pitch of the played sound. The range of the pitch bend is determined by the
preset that has been selected.
Similarly, moving your finger along the Modulation strip alters the modulation amount of
the played sound. The level of modulation introduced by activating the modulation strip
depends on which preset is selected.

CAUTION: The modulation strip may not be assigned to modulate a parameter in some Analog Lab
Lite presets.
2.1.4. Shift + Pad Bank buttons
Let’s start on the right: The Pad 1-8 / 9-16 button toggles the MiniLab MkII pads between two
different sets of functions: playing notes or controlling Analog Lab Lite.
The Shift button serves several purposes: recalling a preset from memory (Shift + pad),
selecting the master MIDI channel (Shift + keyboard), and enabling encoders 1 and 9 to send
the alternate MIDI CC numbers or NRPN/RPN commands that were defined using the MIDI
Control Center.
