2.15.1. Global settings
The KeyLab mkII has some very useful keyboard shortcuts. We've already covered how to
change the MIDI Channel [p.9], and all of the others are described in the User mode chapter
[p.48].
But the Global parameters determine the behavior of the KeyLab mkII in all modes and all
presets, so it's best to mention them here.
2.15.1.1. Access to Global settings
Here's how to view or edit the Global parameters:
1. Press and hold the User mode button for 1 second. It will begin to flash.
2. Press the top D key. The display will read "Global" in the top row and "LowPower"
in the bottom row.
3. Turn the center knob to view the Global parameter you want to edit
4. Click the center knob to select the parameter
5. Turn the center knob to change the value of that parameter.
These settings can also be edited using the MIDI Control Center [p.61], which provides access
to other functions such as pedal calibration [p.80].
