Arturia KeyLab 88 MkII [85/89] The device settings tab

8.16. The Device Settings tab

The upper right-hand corner of the MCC has a tab labeled Device Settings. This is where you

find the Global settings for the KeyLab mkII. There are multiple sections on this page, each

with two or more settings. Let’s take a closer look at what each parameter does.

8.16.1. Global Parameter section

• Low Power Mode: When this parameter is set to On it disables the power-up light

sequence and Vegas mode.

• Vegas Mode: When KeyLab mkII is left idle and untouched for around 5 minutes,

it will begin an eye-catching, colorful light show. You can choose to enable or

disable Vegas Mode by setting this parameter On or Off.

• User Fader Mode: This setting changes how KeyLab mkII’s faders react in User

mode. The two settings are:

◦ Pickup: the faders in your User preset will not generate new values

until they match the last value they transmitted. This is important

when you're dealing with 3 banks of faders: if you switch from bank

1 to bank 2, move some faders, and then come back to bank 1, you

may not want the values of the parameters being controlled by the

bank 1 faders to jump suddenly.

◦ Jump: the faders in your User preset will generate new values as

soon as they are moved, regardless of the values they sent

previously.

8.16.2. DAW section

• DAW Map: This lets you use the MCC to select which DAW preset your KeyLab

mkII will use. The complete list of presets is found here [p.34].

• DAW Fader Mode: This setting changes how KeyLab mkII’s faders react within

your recording software. The two modes available are:

◦ Pickup: the fader in your DAW will not move untill the fader position

on your controller crosses the current DAW fader position.

◦ Jump: the fader in your DAW will jump immediately to the current

position of the fader on your controller as soon as it is moved, and

follow its movement from there.
