Weeeeee ... the Bandcamp iOS app running on my desktop. This is a nice way to listen to Bandcamp since browser tabs can sometimes suddenly disappear.
Bandcamp, when bizdev with Spotify to integrate libraries and funnel fans? (revshare!)

If you are listening through Spotify or another streaming service, it's very informative to disable and enable their loudness normalization while using your metering tools to see what they actually delivered vs how most people will hear it.

It looks like if the Keylab is connected to the computer via USB, you should have a MIDI output for the Keylab in the MIDI settings in Ableton. Just plug your synth into the Keylab's MIDI Out port and select that MIDI output port in the track you want to send MIDI to your synth. What is the synth?
