Using Launchkey Mini with InControl

If you have one of the DAWs listed in the DAW Setup Guide, you will first need to follow the
instructions on how to set it up to operate correctly with Launchkey Mini. 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 fixed and invisible to you, so its operation is seamless and
transparent.
InControl mode may be selected for the rotary controls, launch pads and round buttons
by pressing the InControl button [5]. When the mode is enabled, the InControl button is
illuminated.

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. Under these conditions the
pads remain in Basic Mapping Mode. Ableton Live and FL Studio are clip-based, and you will
be able to trigger clips and loops directly with these DAWs, 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.
