• Save: Saves your track.
• Quant: Turns Quantize on and off.
• Undo: Reverses your last action, such as deleting a track, or capturing a MIDI
performance.
• Redo: Reverses your last Undo action.
The DAW Command Center also puts popular transport controls at your fingertips:
• Loop: Toggles the Loop function in your DAW on and off. The loop region is set
within your software.
• Rewind/Fast-forward: Quickly jogs the playback cursor back and forth, letting
you conveniently find specific points in your track while editing.
• Metronome: Toggles your DAW’s metronome on and off.
• Stop: Stops playback. In some recording software, this will also return the
playback cursor to the start of the track.
• Play/Pause: Starts and pauses your track at the current position of the playback
cursor in your DAW.
• Record: Arms the record function in your DAW. Hitting the Record button while
the track is stopped will begin playback while recording. If the track is already
playing, hitting Record will begin recording from the current playback cursor
position.
• Tap: Tap Tempo to enter a BPM value.
The buttons in the DAW Command Center default to a general workable configuration, and
you can re-configure them in MIDI Control Center.
The output of the DAW Command Center can be toggled between MCU and HUI protocols
within the MCC.
NOTE: KeyLab Essential's compatibility with your chosen DAW will depend on how each
manufacturer handles the MCU and HUI protocols. For more information, consult the KeyLab Essential
page on the Arturia website, or the documentation of your preferred DAW.
• User Programs: KeyLab Essential can store up to 6 User Programs — custom
control mappings you have created in the MIDI Control Center app (see separate
manual). User Presets may be individually enabled or disabled in the Device
Settings of the MIDI Control Center app. We will explain what to do in more detail
in Chapter 5, but for now, know that holding Prog and pressing a Pad will select
any
enabled
user presets alongside the ARTURIA and DAWs modes as described
above.
4.6.1. MIDI Setup in you DAW
When using KeyLab Essential with a DAW, it is important that you get the MIDI setings right.
In your DAW, probably under Preferences and Audio or MIDI setup, there should be a page
that describe the MIDI inputs and outputs. After selecting KL Essentrial 49/61 mk3 and your
MIDI controller, you'll fund further options.
