# Key Switches

Art Conductor uses a unified key switch system. The essential switches are always on the same note, and as a result, you can remember them better and control libraries from different manufacturers much more effortlessly. They can be found in the lowest octave starting at C-2.

We’ve recently started using PolyPressure MIDI events to control the remaining articulations. That’s more convenient for you, and you won’t switch the articulation by accident anymore when playing the instrument.

A couple of instruments do not follow this order, as they don’t contain enough techniques that fall into the categories in the diagram above. The template names of these instruments end with a swung dash “\~.”

Another thing worth mentioning is that Logic has a MIDI channel setting in the Articulation setup. So, if you have a second keyboard or another way to input key switches, use another channel – this will avoid any issues with large amounts on lower octave key switches. &#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.babylonwaves.com/set-up-your-daw/how-to-set-up-in-logic/key-switches.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
