5.5.3. The Keyboard
There are several ways to configure the KeyLab mkII keyboard. It will always send MIDI
note data, of course, but there are lots of additional options. You can specify whether the
keyboard will
• Operate in Split mode or not, and define the split point
• Transmit data for Part 1 or Part 2 (when split) on the User channel or another
MIDI channel
• Choose one of three velocity curves for the keyboard
• Enable channel pressure (aftertouch) for Part 1 or Part 2
• Specify whether Octave Shift / Transpose will affect Part 1 or Part 2
• Select whether Chord Mode is active for Part 1 or Part 2
5.5.3.1. User mode: Part 1 vs. Part 2
Part 1 transmits on the MIDI channel for the keyboard when split mode is not active. When
split mode
is
active the keyboard is split into two virtual keyboards, Part 1 and Part 2, after
which the Parts may be assigned to different MIDI channels. In other words, Part 2 is only
available when Split mode is active.
♪: When in User Edit mode, press any key below the top octave to select the Keyboard itself as the
control to edit. The keys in the top octave are used as parameter shortcuts (see below).
5.5.3.2. Keyboard split: User mode
To set the split point using the keyboard you must be in User Edit mode. After that, here's the
process:
• Press any key lower than the top octave of the keyboard
• Turn the center knob to select the SplitMode parameter page
• Click the knob to jump to the value field
• Turn the knob to change the value to On
• Click the knob again to return to the parameter selection field
• Turn the center knob to select the SplitPoint parameter page
• Click the knob to jump to the value field
• Turn the knob to change the split point value
• Click the knob to return to the parameter selection field, or move another control
to edit something else.
• Remember to store the User preset to preserve the split point and any other
changes.
♪: In User mode, Part 1 is on the
right
side of the split point and Part 2 is on the
left
side of the split
point. This is the opposite of the Split mode part assignments [p.30] in Analog Lab mode.
