2.2. Rear panel
The rear panel of the MiniLab MkII contains several important connectors: the footswitch
jack, a USB Type B jack, and a Kensington lock port.
2.2.1. Footswitch jack
The footswitch jack accepts a momentary footswitch (optional) and allows it to function as
either a momentary switch (such as sustain pedal) or a latching switch (first press/release
sends one event, second press/release sends the next event).
It is best to connect the pedal before supplying power to the MiniLab MkII so it can sense
the pedal’s polarity. Be sure to keep your foot off the pedal when first making the connection
or it could work backward. If this happens, disconnect MiniLab MkII from the power source
and start over.
2.2.2. USB jack
The USB jack allows you to connect your MiniLab MkII to your computer for use with your
favorite DAWs and plug-in instruments.
2.2.3. Kensington lock port
We’ve added a Kensington security lock port to the left side of the rear panel as well. This
will help keep your MiniLab MkII right where you want it.
2.3. Factory Reset
This procedure will erase all presets and device settings and restore them to their defaults. Use the
MIDI Control Center software to back up your changes first.
To reset the MiniLab MkII to its original factory settings:
• Unplug the USB cable from the back of the keyboard
• Hold down the Oct - and Oct + buttons
• Plug the USB cable back in, and continue to hold the buttons until the pads turn
white.
The pads will stay white for 2 seconds so you will know the reset process is underway. After
this the MiniLab MkII will go through its normal power-up lighting sequence.
