7 ANALOG EXPERIENCE “THE LABORATORY”:
THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD
The keyboard that comes with Analog Experience “The Laboratory” is a 49-key velocity
sensitive keyboard including a control surface designed to meet the Analog Laboratory
software interface. The information in this chapter refers to the hardware keyboard itself
and only briefly touches on the different parameters in the software that the keyboard
controls. For more details on these parameters, please refer to the corresponding
chapters of this manual.
Setting up the Analog Laboratory keyboard is fast and simple:
1) First install the Analog Laboratory program on your computer (see chapter 2),
make sure to correctly authorize it (see chapter 3).
2) After unpacking the keyboard it is time to connect it to the computer. As the
Analog Laboratory keyboard is bus-powered by USB, connecting it by only one
simple USB cable to your computer is all you have to do. If you wish to use an
adapter instead of the bus power, connect a standard 12V DC - 500mA power
adapter (not included) to the back of the Analog Experience “The Laboratory”
keyboard.
The DC adapter is not included on the Analog Experience pack. Before connecting an external
DC adapter, make sure you are connecting a compatible adapter. See the technical specifications
for compatibility details!
3) It is not necessary to install the driver for the Analog Laboratory keyboard in
order to get it to function with your computer. Analog Experience “The
Laboratory” is plug-and-play compatible. The driver is automatically installed
when you install Analog Experience “The Laboratory”.
4) Launch the Analog Laboratory software synthesizer; go to menu Setup >
Audio & MIDI Settings, and choose the keyboard as main MIDI input.
