2.5.2. Pad MIDI note assignments
The default note assignments of the 16 pads are shown below:
This places the pads in a commonly-used MIDI drum mapping, with the kick drum, a snare,
the hi-hats, and the cymbals, etc., all in positions that are comfortable for playing live.
They can be reassigned to any note numbers you prefer in User Edit mode [p.44] or by
customizing the pads [p.64] in the MIDI Control Center [p.61].
2.6. Analog Lab/DAW/User modes
Three large buttons below the center knob allow you to switch the KeyLab mkII between its
three major modes:
• Analog Lab: Configures the knobs and faders to control parameters in Analog
Lab 3, as indicated by the blue text beneath each control. The center knob, the
buttons around it, and the buttons under the faders are used to filter and select
presets.
• DAW: Changes most of the KeyLab mkII front panel into a control center for your
recording software.
• User: Use the center knob to select one of 10 presets, each with its own settings
for every control. These presets may be customized from the front panel [p.42] or
by using the MIDI Control Center [p.61].
