3.3.4. Pad Patch Change
This option allows you to use KeyLab Essential’s pads to trigger patch and program changes
within virtual instruments, outboard synths, and much more.
• Color: Select the color the pad will illuminate on being struck or toggled on.
• Channel: Select the MIDI channel output for the selected pad, between 1 to 16.
This can also be set to “user”, which will make the pad output to the default MIDI
channel selected in the Device Settings.
• Program Number: Select the MIDI Program number you wish to change when
the pad is activated. Use the on-screen rotary to choose a value between 0 and
127.
• Bank LSB and Bank MSB: These parameters let you define the Least Significant
Byte and Most Significant Byte determined when the pad is activated. Use the
on-screen rotaries to choose a value between 0 and 127. To determine how to
set these parameters, consult the documentation of the hardware or software
instrument you are controlling using KeyLab Essential.
3.3.5. Pad MMC
This simple option lets you use any of KeyLab Essential’s pads as an MMC command button.
• Color: Select the color the pad will illuminate on being struck or toggled on.
• MMC: Choose between the 3 MMC options available for the pads: Start, Stop, and
Record.
