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.
