4.3. Track / Global controls
Using the industry standard Mackie HUI data language, KeyLab mkII gives you direct
access to the most frequently used commands in your recording software. The difference
between the Track Controls and the Global Controls is this:
• Track control buttons perform their functions only on the currently selected track
• Global control buttons affect the entire song or project. Their actions are
performed regardless of which track is selected.
The following two sections focus on the assignments that correspond to the printing on the
front panel, but a list of the assignments for each DAW preset are found here [p.38].
4.3.1. Track Controls
• Solo: causes the current track to be featured
• Mute: silences the current track
• Record: arms the current track for recording
• Read: allows automation data embedded in the current track to become active
• Write: allows automation data to be written to the current track
4.3.2. Global Controls
• Save: Saves your track.
• In: Defines the start point for “punch in/out” recording
• Out: Defines the end point for “punch in/out” recording
• Metro: Toggles the DAW metronome on and off
• Undo: Reverses your last action, such as deleting a track, or capturing a MIDI
performance.
♪: The buttons in the DAW Commands section send predetermined control messages to your
software, and cannot be repurposed within DAW mode. However, they can be assigned to send various
MIDI commands in User Edit mode [p.42].

presets, click here [p.38].
