2.11. Preset Browser & Display
KeyLab Essential features a powerful Preset Browser and clickable jog wheel to help you
quickly find the sound you’re looking for within Analog Lab 2.
With the Analog Lab map engaged, the whole Preset Browser becomes a dedicated
navigator for Analog Lab 2. Choosing the right sound from over 5,000 presets can be
daunting, but KeyLab Essential makes it easy.
The Cat/Char switch lets you use the jog wheel to select the type, characteristics, and
instrument you are looking for, helping you narrow down your search.
Once you have highlighted something you want, press the jog wheel to select it. Once
selected, the choice will be marked with an asterisk *. Your selection can be removed by
clicking on the jog wheel again, or by using the "Clear Filter" option inside Analog Lab 2.
Once you have selected your desired characteristics, you can then press the * Preset switch
* and use the jog wheel to navigate through the presets that match your selection. To choose
a preset, press the jog wheel.
If you want to try lots of presets in a sequence to find the right sound, simply use the
Backward and Forward buttons. When using these buttons, there is no need to press the jog
wheel to make your selection.
Preset names, browsing information, and characteristics are displayed in the 2-line LCD
display.

TIP: If the DAW map is selected, the jog wheel can be used to move the playback cursor within your
recording software backwards and forwards, speeding up your workflow.
2.12. Sending a Panic Message
Occasionally you may find that some notes continue playing after you have changed a
patch on your virtual instrument, or switched between different instruments while playing.
Don't worry, you can easily remedy this by sending what is known as a "Panic Message",
which resets all controllers and sends a "note off" message to all MIDI channels.
To do this using KeyLab Essential, press and hold the < and > buttons simultaneously.
