1. GETTING STARTED
1.1. Connecting KeyLab mkII
We recommend that you install Analog Lab 3 and the other included software before
reading this manual. Be sure to register and authorize the software on the Arturia website.
Next, connect KeyLab mkII to your computer using the included USB cable. Power is also
supplied through this connection.
KeyLab mkII is a class-compliant USB device, so its drivers are automatically installed
when connecting to a computer. Your controller keyboard will be ready to use within a few
seconds after power-up.
If you'd like to use KeyLab mkII to control external devices without a computer attached,
simply use an optional 9-12v DC 1.0A power supply. Then connect your system as explained
below:
• MIDI devices: Connect a MIDI cable between KeyLab mkII’s MIDI Out connector
and the MIDI In connector of one of the external devices. From there you can
daisy-chain the MIDI signal through the devices. Better yet, use a MIDI patchbay;
this will help avoid an accumulation of lag time as the data passes through each
device.
• Control Voltage devices: Connect high-quality 1/8" TS cables between a modular
analog system and the CV In/Out/Gate/Mod1/Mod2 connectors on the rear panel
of the KeyLab mkII.
