ARTURIA – KeyLab – USER’S MANUAL 11
2.2.1 Keyboard
The Arturia KeyLab series offers four different sizes of velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive
keyboards (25-, 49-, 61- and 88-keys). Each is equipped with a control surface designed
for perfect integration with the Analog Lab software.
2.2.2 Pitch and Modulation Wheels
These controls are used to add pitch bend and modulation during performance.
Moving the Pitch Wheel up or down alters the pitch of the selected sound. The bend
range depends on the selected preset.
Moving the Modulation (Mod) Wheel up or down adds or reduces the modulation of the
sound. The amount and type of modulation depends on which preset is selected.
The modulation wheel may not be assigned to modulate a parameter in some presets.

2.2.3 Octave buttons
2.2.3.1 Octave transposition
Pushing one of the Up or Down buttons will transpose the KeyLab in octave increments.
The maximum amount of transposition depends on which model you have: -/+ 3 octaves
(KeyLab 25/49/61), or -/+ 2 octaves (KeyLab 88).
The appropriate LED will blink faster the further you are from middle C.
2.2.3.2 Chromatic transposition
When you press the Octave buttons you also have the option to transpose chromatically
(i.e., in semitones). To jump from the Oct field to the Semi field in the Transposition
window, press the Down and Up buttons at the same time. Then use those buttons one
at a time to shift the keyboard chromatically. Press again them simultaneously to jump
back to the Oct field.
