5.4.10 Pads
The pads add an exciting new rhythmic dimension to Analog Laboratory, and are part of
what makes this software a complete production suite. They are used only in the Scene
mode to trigger loops and effects in many different ways. Please see 5.5.10 for more
information.

5.4.11 MIDI control
Most of the knobs, sliders, and switches on the Analog Laboratory can be manipulated
with external MIDI controllers, and this is ideally the way they should be controlled, in
order to get a high level of usability. Before anything else, the user should make sure
that the MIDI device being used is correctly connected to the computer, and that the
sequencer or the Analog Laboratory standalone application is correctly configured to
receive MIDI events coming from the device.
Every instance of the Analog Laboratory receives MIDI events transmitted on a given
channel. This reception channel is defined in a global manner for the synthesizer, either
in the sequencer, or in the standalone Analog Laboratory application. On the reception
channel, the Analog Laboratory can receive different MIDI controls.
It is possible to choose a reception control for each knob, which means assigning an
external controller to a given parameter. This MIDI assignation is done through:
• [Ctrl]+click on Windows
• [Cmd]+click on Mac OS.
A configuration window appears and offers the choice of a MIDI control number. The
user can also click on the “Learn” button and move one of the physical MIDI controllers.
In this case, the control number will be detected and configured automatically. To
deactivate the MIDI control of a knob, simply uncheck the “Active” option in the MIDI
control window.
