2. OVERVIEW
2.1. Keyboard
KeyLab mkII features a synth-action keyboard that is both velocity- and pressure-sensitive.
The keys can be used as shortcuts [p.9] to access parameters in User mode. For example,
holding the MIDI Ch button and tapping one of the lowest 16 keys will select the User MIDI
channel (see below).
2.1.1. Changing the MIDI Channel
The MIDI channel of the KeyLab mkII can be changed by holding the MIDI Ch button and
pressing one of the first 16 keys on the keyboard. After this all controls that have been set to
follow the User MIDI Channel will change to that channel.
For example, to change KeyLab mkII’s MIDI output to channel 8, hold the MIDI CH button
and hit the lowest G on the keyboard.
2.1.2. The keyboard shortcuts
Certain keys on the keyboard can be used with front-panel buttons to provide shortcuts
to settings such as the User MIDI Channel, Global settings, and various User Edit mode
parameters. For a complete listing of these features, click here [p.48].
