+<!-- MCU MIDI Mapping for Arturia Keylab 49/61/88 mk2 in "Analog Lab" mode. -->
+
+<!--
+    11/11/25 Binding MIDI Map Template v1 - contributed by ardour@iokm.uk
+    Intended for use with Arturia Keylab 49/61/88 mk2 in "Analog Lab" mode with DAW Map = MCU
+    This template maps controllers and buttons for Editing & Mixing and not
+    for SoftSynth parameter control. However, modify as required.
+
+    The following Keylab 49/61/88 mk2 controllers & buttons are mapped in this template:
+	* 16x Pad cluster (all 16x Pads work; none assigned in this template)
+	* DAW Command cluster (all 10x buttons work and assigned)
+	* Transport cluster (all 6x buttons work and assigned)
+	* Middle Analog Lab cluster (all 4x buttons & knob push/rotate work and assigned)
+	* Bank change cluster (all 3x buttons work and assigned)
+	* Encoders & Faders cluster (all 9x sets of Encoders & Faders work and assigned)
+	* Select toggles row (Ardour limitation can only be assigned to "Actions" or "Functions")
+	    *NOTE: The MIDI bindings for "Select" toggles do match MIDI events but uri="/route/mute B1"
+	    won't work with msg="" being an Ardour limitation - can only be assigned to "Actions" or
+	    "Functions".  Would have preferred to use "Select" toggles for corresponding Mute/Solo but
+	    unable; to not waste the use of "Select" toggles currently mapped to trigger cues A to I.
+	* Sustain Pedal (works and assigned)
+
+    Keylab 49/61/88 mk2 has three modes:
+	* "Analog Lab" default (hardcoded controller codes).
+	    Provides access to nearly all the controllers & buttons (total of 69): Pads, Transport,
+	    DAW, Analog Lab, Encoders & Faders.  Some controllers like the "Select" buttons toggles
+	    have non-standard MIDI events which are difficult or impossible to bind to some Ardour
+	    actions.  This Binding MIDI Map Template supports Keylab "Audio Lab" mode.
+	* "DAW" (hardcoded controller codes are mostly Note/Pitch Blend events)
+	    Different to "Analog Lab" mode. Provides access to most (62) of the controllers & buttons
+	    except for the middle Analog Lab cluster.  Similar limitations as "Analog Lab" mode where
+	    many controllers like Faders send non-standard MIDI events like Note On/Off with Pitch Blend
+	    events which are difficult or impossible to bind to Ardour actions.
+	    *NOTE: this version of Binding MIDI Map Template doesn't support Keylab "DAW" mode.
+	* "USER" (different controller codes but can with effort be user assigned/reassigned)
+	    A flexible and more MIDI standard event mode.  Provides access to many (59) of the
+	    controllers & buttons except for the bank selection and middle Analog Lab cluster.
+	    Although the controllers & buttons events are more MIDI standard they have different
+	    default controller codes to what is hardcoded in the "Analog Lab" or "DAW" modes. The
+	    majority of the controllers & buttons can be user assigned/reassigned; however, doing so
+	    requires significant time & effort.  Currently within Linux there is no easy way to
+	    download/export the assigned/reassigned user configuration from the Keylab 49/61/88 mk2.
+	    *NOTE: this version of Binding MIDI Map Template doesn't support Keylab "USER" mode.
+
+    Arturia MIDI Control Center doesn't support Linux; you can set the DAW map to MCU via SysEx Controls:
+    https://github.com/soyersoyer/sysex-controls  (Thank you, Gergo Koteles).
+
+    For reasons only known to Arturia, command events are split between a DAW port and a MIDI port.
+	    Dir Device    Name
+	    IO  hw:3,0,0  KeyLab mkII 61 MIDI
+	    IO  hw:3,0,1  KeyLab mkII 61 DAW
+    Transport and DAW events are only via the DAW port using "channel 1".  Encoders & Faders are only
+    via the MIDI port using "channel 1" which is ALSO THE DEFAULT PIANO KEYBOARD CHANNEL and will
+    CONFLICT IF THE PIANO KEYBOARD IS NOT CHANGED to a midi channel 2-9, 11-16 !!  Pads are Channel 10.
+    To be able to use Transport + DAW commands + Encoders & Faders at the same time - the DAW port *and*
+    MIDI port need to be both connected to Ardour's "MIDI Control In" port.  This can be achieved via
+    Ardour's MIDI Connection Manager by connecting both Hardware MIDI ports to "Generic MIDI Control In".
+    Or via a JACK/Pipewire virtual patchbay like qpwgraph.  https://github.com/rncbc/qpwgraph
+
+
+    To get everything to work Ardour + qpwgraph + SysEx Controls + Keylab the configuration needs to be:
+
+    * Ardour MIDI and Control Surface configuration: [Setup Control Surface]
+    ==================================================
+	MIDI Port Config
+	    Keylab MIDI:  Music Data + Control Data + Follow Selection
+	    Keylab DAW:                Control Data
+
+	Control Surfaces (Generic MIDI)
+	    Incoming MIDI			= Keylab DAW
+	    Outgoing MIDI			= KeyLab DAW
+	    Current Bank 			= 1
+	    Enable Feedback			= Y
+	    Smoothing				= 10
+
+
+    * Ardour's MIDI Connection Manager (Option 1): [Bridge MIDI & DAW Controllers to MIDI Control In]
+    ==================================================
+
+	Hardware Tab vs. Ardour Misc Tab
+	    Midi-Bridge->MIDI		X
+	    Midi-Bridge->DAW		X
+					    Generic MIDI Control In
+						<-Control Surface
+
+    * qpwgraph virtual patchbay config (Option 2): [Bridge MIDI & DAW Controllers to MIDI Control In]
+    ==================================================
+	    +================+          +=================+
+	    |   Midi-Bridge  |          |     ardour      |
+	    |                |          |                 |
+	    |    KeyLab MIDI +==========+                 |
+	    |                |          | MIDI Control In |
+	    |     Keylab DAW +==========+                 |
+	    +================+          +=================+
+
+
+    * SysEx Controls (Keylab) configuration: [Setup Keylab Controllers]
+    ==================================================
+	    User MIDI Channel		= 2  (Sometimes need to set this via Keylab Piano Keyboard)
+	    DAW Map					= Default MCU
+	    DAW Buttons				= DAW
+	    Track Control Buttons	= Single Track
+	    DAW Fader Mode			= Jump
+	    USER Fader Mode			= Jump
+
+
+    * KeyLab Piano Keyboard MIDI Channel configuration: [Avoid Controllers conflicting with Keyboard]
+    ==================================================
+	    Piano Keyboard MIDI Channel	= Anything other than 1 or 10 !!
+	    [ Set by Keylab MIDI Channel button & associated Piano key ]
+
+	    * Channel 1  		 = Transport (Notes) + DAW (Notes) + Encoders & Faders (Controllers)
+	    * Channel 10 		 = Default Percussion (Notes)
+	    * Channel 2-9, 11-16 = Piano Keyboard (Notes)
+
+	    *NOTE: Some SoftSynths like "General Midi Synth" as default have instruments on all 16 MIDI
+	    channels. So you'll hear something out of the box.  Whereas, SoftSynths like "ZynAddSybFX"
+	    default to MIDI channel 1 unless configured otherwise. So if you don't hear anything check
+	    that an instrument has been assigned to whatever MIDI Channel defined for the Piano Keyboard.
