Arturia KeyLab 88 MkII [56/89] Three banks of controls

5.5.7. Three banks of controls

It looks like there are only 27 controls in this section, but there are actually 81! That's because

there are three separate banks of controls, which are selected using the three control

buttons immediately to the left of the assignable controls.

Keep in mind that as you select the options that there are more fields in the display [p.43]

for these controls than for the others (since there are three banks for each control).

Some options are available only through the MIDI Control Center [p.62], such as the color for

the Select buttons.

5.5.7.1. Encoders

The encoders may be assigned to send one of the following types of data on any MIDI

channel or the User channel:

• MIDI CC data within a specific range

• RPN/NRPN data within a specific range

Other important features of the encoders include:

• Absolute or Relative mode transmission methods can be chosen

• Encoders can be named

• Each encoder may have its own acceleration setting, which affects how many

turns it takes to reach the minimum/maximum values. This setting can only be

set using the MIDI Control Center [p.62].

5.5.7.2. Faders

The faders may be assigned to send one of the following types of data on any MIDI channel

or the User channel:

• MIDI CC data within a specific range

• RPN/NRPN data within a specific range

Other important features of the faders include:

• Normal or Drawbar mode (inverted performance)

• Faders can be named

• They can be configured to send new values as soon as they are moved (Jump

mode) or only after the current value of the parameter has been reached (Pickup

mode). This choice can be made from the front panel of the KeyLab mkII [p.22]

or using the MCC [p.62].
