Arturia KeyLab 88 MkII [26/89] Rear panel connections

2.14. Rear panel connections



♪: The rear panel was introduced in the Getting Started chapter [p.4], and the capabilities of the pedals

and the CV/Gate/Mod section will be covered in chapter 5 [p.43] and chapter 7 [p.59], respectively. Only

brief summaries will be given here.

2.14.1. Controls/Pedals/CV In

Each of the five pedal inputs can be configured to send various types of MIDI data. Their

labels indicate their default assignments, but any one of the inputs can work with either a

foot switch or an expression pedal. The function of each pedal can be edited from the front

panel [p.43] or by using the MIDI Control Center [p.62].

The CV In connection allows a control voltage from an external device to be used as a

modulation source in User mode. From there its input values can be captured by your DAW.

For more information, see the User mode chapter [p.43] and the CV/Gate/Mod connections

chapter [p.59].

2.14.2. Pitch/Gate/Mod Outputs

These four connectors enable the KeyLab mkII to interface with a modular synthesis

system. The voltage ranges may be defined in User Edit mode [p.45] or by using the MIDI

Control Center [p.62].

USB to CV : The KeyLab mkII can convert to CV any MIDI message received from the USB.

The MIDI Channel and the MIDI CC to be used for Mod1 and Mod2 may be defined in User

Edit mode or by using the MIDI Control Center.
