INCONTROL
OF
YOUR
MUSIC
SOFTWARE
Launchkey's unique 'lnControl' mode is designed
to
work seamlessly with your Digital Audio
Workstation
(DAW)
. After configuring your DAW, the Launchkey's faders, 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.
Alternatively,
if
you wish your Launchkey
to
operate as a basic MIDI keyboard, turning
off
any
of
the
'lnControl'
buttons will switch the corresponding
block
of
controls back to basic MIDI mode.
NOTE:
In
most DAWs,
'pot
pickup' is enabled by default. This means that faders and 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.
For further information on
how
to set up Launchkey
in
your DAW, see the downloadable User Guide.
