32 ARTURIA – KeyLab – USER’S MANUAL
5.4 Connection
Connect the KeyLab to your computer using the included USB cable. It’ll be ready to go
after its LEDs go through the startup cycle.
Now launch the MIDI Control Center. KeyLab will be in the list of connected devices:
5.5 The Sync button
The first thing to do each time you launch the MIDI Control Center software is click the
Sync button:
This will connect the KeyLab to your computer and grab whatever is in its edit buffer,
giving it the current date/time stamp for a name. You can rename this file if you like.
After this, every change made in the software will also be made inside the KeyLab
controller’s edit buffer. And any time you use one of the hardware controls it will be
selected automatically inside the MIDI Control Center.
Another cool thing is that the MIDI Control Center graphics have changed match the
connected KeyLab controller, if they didn’t before. Both the front and rear panels are
visible and their controls may be edited.
Note: the functions of the Edit, Octave, and Pitch Bend controls cannot be changed, and
as a result they are not selectable in the MIDI Control Center window.
