2.3. Octave Control & Transpose
2.3.1. Setting the Octave
Pressing the Oct - and Oct + buttons will shift the range of KeyLab Essential’s keyboard,
giving you access to higher and lower pitches.
When activated, the selected octave button will blink at a certain speed, indicating how low
or high you have transposed the keyboard. This is indicated as follows:
• Octave +3: Oct + blinks quickly
• Octave +2: Oct + blinks normally
• Octave +1: Oct + blinks slowly
• Standard: Neither Octave button blinks
• Octave -1: Oct - blinks slowly
• Octave -2: Oct - blinks normally
• Octave -3: Oct - blinks quickly
To quickly reset the octave shift and set the KeyLab Essential to the neutral position, hit both
Oct - and Oct + buttons simultaneously.
NOTE: Both Octave and Transpose settings can be saved within User map presets.
