2.3.1 MIDI connections
The KeyLab Keyboard sends and receives MIDI via USB. Furthermore it can function as a
MIDI interface. A MIDI Out connector is located on the back of the keyboard. This
connector lets you send MIDI data to anything that has a MIDI in connector. This could
be a sound module, synthesizer, sequencer or drum computer for instance.
2.3.2 Power supply
Although the KeyLab keyboard is USB bus-powered, it is also possible to use a DC
adapter when this is required. If you wish to use an adapter instead of the bus power, it
is possible to connect an optional 6V DC 500mA adapter to the back of the keyboard.
2.4 Basic MIDI control
Most parameters of Analog Lab are controllable by the included keyboard controller.
Once the software is started and the keyboard controller is connected, the software can
be totally controlled without the use of mouse or a computer keyboard. Every physical
controller (knob, fader, button) on the hardware is mapped to a part of the software,
and is dependent on each preset.
