2.2.8.5 Envelopes
The nine faders on the front panel address the envelope generators in Analog Lab.
There are two sets of four faders each, corresponding to the Attack, Decay, Sustain and
Release stages of two envelopes (ADSR, in synthesizer parlance). These envelopes can
control VCAs or VCFs within the preset; their assignments depend on which preset is
selected.
As with other controls, though, the nine faders may be freely assigned to any other
parameter. For instance, they function well as organ drawbars.

2.2.9 Pads (KeyLab 49/61/88 only)
The 16 velocity- and pressure sensitive pads can be used to play drum parts, of course.
Since this is a common usage they are set to MIDI Channel 10 by default (the General
MIDI standard for drum parts).
The main function of the pads when using Analog Lab is to trigger chords. But they can
also be assigned to do lots of other things using the MIDI Control Center software
(sending program changes, for example).
