When set to DAWs Program, KeyLab Essential will automatically recognize and connect to
your DAW. If your DAW isn't recognized, please check your DAW's MIDI settings and make
sure your DAW is up to date.
If KeyLab Essential still doesn't recognize the DAW, please refer to these manuals for full
info on installation and trouble-shooting.
! Of course you can use all other KeyLab Essential features – like Hold, Chord, Arpeggiator, Transpose
etc. – in any DAW.
