• OFF: the pad is unlit until it has been activated. Then it will lit in the color defined
in the Controller map.
• ON: When not activated, the pad is lit with the color defined in the user preset.
When activated it is lit in white.

When this mode is ON, when the color defined for a pad is white, activating a pads will lead to no
difference on the pad color.
4.8. Editing Templates: Unique features
The majority of the controller and pad parameters are described in detail in the MIDI Control
Center User manual. In this section we will only cover those that are unique to the MiniLab
MkII.
For instructions on how to locate the MCC User manual, see Where to find the Manual
section [p.20].
4.8.1. MIDI Channel settings
There is a MIDI Channel parameter for every control and pad. But you will find 17 possible
values there: Channels 1-16 and Keyboard.
The “Keyboard” option allows you to change the MIDI channel of this control when you
change the MIDI channel setting of the keyboard.
So for each control or pad you can choose whether they will be locked to a particular MIDI
channel or will ‘float’ with the keyboard MIDI channel.
