Using Launchkey with InControl

If you haveone ofthe DAWs listedin the DAWSetup Guide, youwill rst need to follow the

instructions on how to set it up to operate correctly with Launchkey. Once this has been done,

InControl will automatically assign each hardware controller to a key DAW function in an intelligent

manner. You should be able to discover very easily how each controller is mapped onto which

DAW function by experimenting, but a full list of mappings is contained in the DAW Setup Guide.

InControlassignmentsarexedandinvisibletoyou,soitsoperationisseamlessandtransparent.

InControl mode may be selected independently for the various blocks of controllers – sliders/

buttons,rotarycontrolsandlaunchpads,usingthethree(Launchkey49/61)ortwo(Launchkey

InControl Buttons

Note that the launch pads have no InControl functionality with some DAWs – these will be DAWs

which are not clip-based, such as Logic Pro and Cubase. Ableton Live is clip-based, and you will

be able to trigger clips and loops directly with this DAW, using the pads. When used with Reason,

the pads can be used for many other purposes, such as to select and edit drum loops or modify

sequencer steps.
