Build A Multi; Start With A Single Preset; Add Part 2; Setting A Split Point - Arturia KEYLAB mkII User Manual

3.5. Build a Multi

In Multi mode you can have two presets active on the keyboard at the same time. They can
be either layered or split, with one preset on one side of the keyboard and a second preset
on the other side.
Here's how to build a Multi from the ground up.

3.5.1. Start with a single preset

First we'll need to call up a single preset inside Analog Lab 3. Select any one of the presets,
as long as it isn't a Multi. The difference is that a single Analog Lab 3 preset will show a
picture of only one instrument on the right side of the application window, while a Multi will
display two instruments (or two pictures of the same instrument).
After you have done this only Part 1 will be active on the KeyLab mkII. When you play a
note on the keyboard you will hear only one Analog Lab 3 preset. To verify this visually, the
Part 1 button should be lit on the front panel.
Now scroll through the preset list using the center knob until you find a sound you'd like to
build into a Multi. You can use the
don't press the Multi button for now (that's the furthest one on the right side).

3.5.2. Add Part 2

If you're familiar with the various ways to
combining them into a Multi, press the Part 2 button. Analog Lab 3 will switch to Multi mode,
place the Multi in Swap mode, and "open" the Part 2 slot in the Analog Lab 3 window.
Now you can select a preset for Part 2 from the KeyLab mkII front panel using the same
filtering techniques you used to select the first preset: Filter buttons, category selection, etc.

♪: For specific details about Multi Mode or Swap mode, please refer to the Analog Lab 3 manual.

3.5.3. Setting a split point

At first both presets will be layered, one on top of the other. If you'd like to have them on
different sides of the keyboard you'll need make them into a split Multi. This can be done
from the KeyLab mkII or using Analog Lab 3.
To set the split point using the keyboard, hold the Live button and press a key. The display
will show the name of the key you have pressed to confirm that Split mode has been
enabled. Part 1 will go to the left side of the split point and Part 2 will be placed on the right
side of the split point. Then release the Live button and the screen will return to the previous
page.
You can use this shortcut in two ways:
• To move the split point of a Multi that is already in Split mode, or
• To turn a layered Multi into a split Multi.
