INCONTROL OF YOUR MUSIC SOFTWARE
Launchkey Mini's unique 'lnControl' mode is designed to work seamlessly with your Digital Audio
Workstation (DAW). After configuring your DAW, the Launchkey Mini's knobs and pads can be used to
control the DAW parameters that are most important to your workflow. Because every DAW is different,
we've given each
one its own unique mapping for Launchkey Mini.
Alternatively,
if you wish your Launchkey Mini to operate as a standard Ml Dl keyboard, simply press and
release the 'lnControl button' to turn
off 'lnControl' and switch the knobs and pads backto basic MIDI mode.
NOTE: In most DAWs, 'pot pickup' is enabled by default. This means that knobs on the screen will
move only when the physical control being moved has travelled past the position shown on the screen.
This helps
to avoid sudden jumps in parameters.

how to set up Launchkey Mini in your DAW, see the downloadabl e Us er Guid e.
