Way better than any instructional video that Arturia has EVER put out.
woow thank you so much for nice words. I also found frustrating when I had my Keylab, that there is not much tutorials online, hence made this video to help the others ;)
If you like it so much then you will deff love my new one ua-cam.com/video/-eBqniVrVqc/v-deo.html ( little 🎁 there)
This was super insightful, thank you!
This is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your video. It helped me to understand a part of my gear that had been eluding me. Your video was great, many people on youtube delay getting to the point, you got striaght into it. Thanks again for your willingness to help a stranger 🙂
thank you so much for this tutorial session.
Thank you for making this video 🙏 It is so helpful. I am so grateful I stumbled across your channel. Your song is absolutely beautiful btw, gave me goosebumps. ❤
This is very useful. Thank you!
This is a video i needed! I searched for hours for a video like this explaining everything! Thank you so much :)
I'm glad I could help 😉
this helps me a lot more to understand how it all works. Thanks so much. i keep following :-)
This is an excellent and very helpful video - you managed to explain and show everything so clearly and succinctly - thank you for making life with MCC easier!
Aww than you 😊 in that case you might like this one even more ua-cam.com/video/-eBqniVrVqc/v-deo.html 😉
Great info, thank you!
Great video! So much better from a set up perspective than most other “instructional” videos. Please make more!
Thank you 😊
Honestly the best demo on setting up user maps. I always come back to this
I'm glad I could help🙂👍
Thank you for the great video!
THANK YOU!!! you just saved me, and help me fixed my rig
Great video!. Just what I need!
man....i just started using a midi....and let me tell you...thanks for this video....was going crazy trying to set up the pads.... THANKS.....!!!!
🤣🤣👍
Great tutorial great job.
Thanks for the video, I just got the keyboard and was looking for a little instruction. Great job! I would watch videos of you putting your set together as well, if you need any video ideas. Watching someone work is really useful when you are trying to learn.
Thanks. At the moment I'm in the middle of building my dedicated studio, so all my spare time I put into this challenge. But we are nearly there...once finished I will start to make some videos again ;) You can follow my work here & new PART is coming this week ua-cam.com/play/PLQpx0yHcVNI5nv9XiDjoW6h5RIlYAw2rf.html
Thanks, I just got mine, now I got long road ahead, before any nice sounds will be heard.
That was very informative.
BTW, that piece which you played is excellent!!!
MIDI controller It's only a tool to help your work flow. It's all about creativity,so experiment, use Keylab to its full potential, make it best friend of your DAW and create amazing pieces 😁 I'm sure there will be many 👌
Great thank you..learned alot well done

Thanks for this video, it helped me a lot. 👍As a Cubase user, I have to go a little further...😉
This was even better than the Arturia channel tutorials!
Thank you 😊 I just understand Users' needs as I am one of them and as with every new gear all you need is clear guidance and bit of clarification ;)
Hi MAM, very nice information, and nice music. thanks )(INDIA CHENNAI)
This is the best Arturia Essential tutorial video by far. All the other videos on UA-cam are useless. (maybe except one guy but his was too slow and hard to follow.) T
hank you for making this video.
Glad you like it 🙏
There you go new Arturia vid (long one +🎁) ua-cam.com/video/-eBqniVrVqc/v-deo.html. I'm sure you gonna like it 😉
thank you
amazing tutorial, Arturia wishes they were this good.
🙏 Lovely comment. Check out my new one. You might like it too ua-cam.com/video/-eBqniVrVqc/v-deo.html (🎁)
Was really hesitating between the KK A61 and the Arturia Keylab Essential 61, as I want to 1) learn keys/piano and 2) create tracks to support my band (i'm the bassist), such as what you did. I have the Launchpad Pro and the KK M32 so I'm pretty much covered on Ableton and NI front
Your vids directed me towards the Arturia. So this is what I'm going to get.
Thank you
Great job and much needed. Keep it up
Aww I'm glad! You might like my new Arturia vid just published 🎁😉 ua-cam.com/video/-eBqniVrVqc/v-deo.html
Brilliant information! Thank you very much! Much better than the official Arturia channel because you approached it from a real user perspective and not from a features perspective. Instead of talking about what Keylab ‘may be able to do”, you showed how it is done. You answered all my questions about assigning the faders and knobs and integration with Ableton. You didn’t miss anything. I am vert grateful. Thank you.
Ahhh I'm so happy reading this comment ☺️ Thank you very much. I'm just finishing another Arturia Demo video. If you watched the first Arturia Demo vid I made, in the new one I will also do performance, but first I will go through full set up & production with Ableton Live & AnalogLab, so stay tuned something cool is coming soon... 😉
@@amagistudio That sounds amazing. Looking forward to it. Thank you!
@@anthonyh4125 There you go ua-cam.com/video/-eBqniVrVqc/v-deo.html 🎁😉
thanks for the video, now I have a question, is there a way to make the keys feel a little'' normal'', I have a lot of midi controllers, and even the keystep37 and the sensitive for the keys on that is fine, but on this keylab49 I have to press the keys harder when im playing an instrument and I just bought it, I don't know if there a way to change the sensitivity for the keys, thank you
Thanks lot, you did better job then hole arturia team....
Woow thank you 🙏
@@amagistudio may i ask you for an advice? And idea how to set up something like booster for live performing solos. Cause if i move fader, i can't return it back to Its original value. I tried to create template where i wanted to create a button, that when I press it highers the volume, but nothing happens.
Im not live performer and Im not sure What you actually aiming to do, but it sounds for me like an automation which must be done in your DAW (for example volume automation envelope which will be assigned for specific fader/knob in Arturia). It all depends on the scenario and they are many possibilities but tbf is really hard for me to advice from here
@@amagistudio when you play a solo in a song And you wanna raise youre master volume withouth using the main fader, that Is automatically asigned,while in analog lab mode.
I don't know... I don't perform live,but I would use DAW to automate master volume in life performance. Maybe someone else here have better idea..?
It was great, actually I'm new to ableton so could you please make one more detailed video regarding mapping everything and the ways we can use this midi for live!!!?
There you go as you wish: ua-cam.com/video/-eBqniVrVqc/v-deo.html 😉🎁
Nice video! Have you figured out to set the punch in and punch out for loop from the keyboard? I've the Keylab MK2 but couldn't figure it out.
You just need to map punch function in your DAW to the punch key in your Arturia. I would suggest to focus on your DAW functionality first, as this is really where you need to figure out how to map it correctly with Arturia.
How to get firmware for windows 7 that OS which I am using?
Can you plz help me I can’t make mine work I think I changed a setting while I was trying to figure it all out but I only hear sound from the virtual keyboard it’s not connecting somehow and I can’t hear from my headphones. Ty
Very useful video. I probably should've asked this question before I ordered the Keylab Essential (which I did, just now) but how do you find the keybed or the key action? I'm not particularly picky when it comes to this, I'm not really a pianist, but ideally, I'd want it to be usable and reasonably expressive (as in, suitable for live performance, which I think you've mentioned is your use-case). I hope that is the case :) Thanks again for this and the previous video!
Keylab Essential has velocity sensitive keys instead of weighted keys. I am pianist and owner of Yamaha CLP 665 grand piano, so I already have one amazing instrument @ full spec at home. Hence I don't mind lack of weighted keys. But for someone who requires 'piano feel like' keys, this could be on negative side. However as you mentioned you are not a pianist, you should be very happy with Keylab keys as long as you will set up latency between your DAW and MIDI controller correctly! I cannot stress enough how this is crucial! I'm not live performer at all, this video was only to show you guys what you can do with it while playing live. For composing & music production (this is my case) this MIDI controller it's very good. As for the key action, as we know Keylab Essential keys do not have aftertouch, but if you look closely me playing in the previous Arturia Demo video, you will notice I managed to come with a sattle vibrato by vibrating keys end notes on the go - in theory impossible... in practice very noticeable😁 so as you can see, you will definitely be able to express yourself 👍
This video is great and you have explained everything so well! So thank you.
I'm kind of at an impass for a problem I'm experiencing. After selecting 'user 1' on map select, as seen @ 5:35, when I touch the keys Ableton isn't recognizing the midi signal coming from the Artiria controller. (On the top right, you can't see the little blinking)
To be clear. The controller recognizes the mapping from the MCC. But Abelton isn't recognizing the controller's midi signal from the keys. I made sure under Abeltons's preferences the midi in's and out's were turned 'on' for the Arturia controller.
Do you have any troubleshooting advice?
Hmm check this first ua-cam.com/video/n_z4shcILu4/v-deo.html and then make sure you did set MCC user 1 correctly. I would leave it on all channels in Ableton (just in case you messed up routing). And make sure your track I/O is also set right. BTW new video is coming soon! Stay tuned! ;)
❤
ARTURIA SHOULD USE YOUR VIDEO ON THEIR MAIN CHANNEL GREAT JOB AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST
That's such a nice words 🙏 thank you. I'm literally about to finish another video (long one this time) with Arturia set up, production & performance with Ableton Live and AnalogLab. Stay tuned 🔔 so you won't miss it 😉
There you go as promised ua-cam.com/video/-eBqniVrVqc/v-deo.html I'm sure you gonna like it 😉🎁
@@amagistudio You are the BEST Thank you so much
amazing tut thx but is there a way to in USER1 configure the central knob? i havent and its a terrible missuse of that great resource
Not all knobs can be assigned. You will find in manual which can/cannot be. I don't remember if the central knob can be assigned.
Great video, thanks for sharing, I'm using Ableton 10. Right now I would love to ditch my Launch PadX I'm using with my Code 61 controller. Is it possible with the Essential 61 to map the 8 pads to record enable and clip play for live recording i.e Live Looping? The MKII seems to do this easily
In this video I showed how to map buttons in Essential, in practise using pads (you can map all 8 pads) with certain commands in Ableton such us clip play for example (so this already answered 1st part of your question) ; same principle apply for other commands like record etc. But you have record button in Essential for that reason, so why to map pads to enable record? I would suggest for you to go through Essential manual. Its all explained there.
Great video! Do you know how its possible to recall instrument presets from the pads directly? Just to change the instrument that you can play from keyboard but recall lets say 6 different instruments from the pads in a live session
I'm not sure what areyou asking for, but just macro your tracks in DAW with diff instruments to different pads in the controller
@@amagistudio Yes you are right, now I have to find the way to do it in Cakewalk that I used for some recordings in guitar. If I dont find the way I may switch to Ableton.
How to map every each key to control Logic Pro x loops transpose, and the reason why because I want to use Logic loops as a styles like in arranger keyboard to play live.
Im not Logic user. Maybe someone here will advice you. Sorry
🙏
Do you have a video to integrate with Cubase?
Awesome lesson!!! I would like to know, please, if I could use my Keylab MKII to control compressors. The idea is to have different MIDI CC for different compressors using the same keyboard for all of them. For instance, if I have two compressors in my track, like UA LA2A and UA 1176, but when I want to change the parameters on LA2A I would load a map made just for it, and recall a different one for the 1176... I am not sure if this makes any sense... LOL
Wel.. I would like to use my Keylab as a controller like the Softbube Console 1 does with different plugins but using the same knobs.
Look at my other Arturia videos. Here at 26:20 I showing how to mapp. It all depends on your DAW ua-cam.com/video/-eBqniVrVqc/v-deo.html
@@amagistudio I use Logic Pro X. I will definitely check it out!!! Thank you so much for responding!!!!
@@amagistudio I am watching your video right now and saw you also use Softube Console 1.
It is EXACTLY what I want to mimic using just my Keylab MKII.
Is it possible?
This is a very helpful video. Thank you so much. For any Studio One DAW users, if you know how to do the mapping that starts at 9:30 in this video please let me know. It seems very straight forward in Albeton but I can't figure it out for Studio One.
Any midi mapping it's specific to a DAW but principles remains the same. It will akways be explained in DAW user manual. I just did quick search and found many results online incl videos on UA-cam. Here is an example how to midi map in StudioOne music.tutsplus.com/tutorials/setting-up-your-midi-controller-inside-studio-one--audio-16986
@@amagistudio That is wonderful. Thank you so much. MIDI Learn is the feature I was looking for. Cheers!
Hi! Great video! I've been making my own setup with KeyLab and I can't find the answer to one question: have you found a way to auto select User 1 mode when you turn on the midi keyboard (that is, without having to go into Map Select every time)? Thanks in advance!
No, as far as I remember it defaults to Analog Lab but with new software update who knows ;)
please help i have 2 arturia keylabs-one is the older model of mk2(mk1)and one is essential....my older one i figured how to use as mdi with my MPC drum maschine-works,but how do i connect 2 arturia keylab 49 together ?I tried one to pc and other midi cable to the main one to pc,is this possible?thanks,also is there a way on older Keylab to midi map pads to play chords since it relies on the original analog lab version 1 which was the only one with this editing feature?thanks alot
I have no idea. You have to reach Arturia directly for advice. This is how you set up Arturia in Ableton, so I if you are going to set up 2 separate it should recognise it automatically I guess...sorry can't help more ua-cam.com/video/n_z4shcILu4/v-deo.html
nice job explaining this. btw I was wondering if you maybe know if a usb hub that could make it so i dont have to connect and disconnect the Keylab Mk2 every time to use it with my mpc or my laptop laptop, Pc, Ipad... its a realy pita to have to keep switching cables all of the time. maybe a hub of some sort could work as a central point to keep everything connected? Cheers 🙂
What you're looking for is a USB switcher, not a hub. USB doesn't allow more than one "host" (i.e a PC etc) to be on the same USB bus at a time. You can have multiple USB "devices" (e.g. the Keylab), but only one host. A switcher will let you connect cables to multiple hosts and you can select which host is active and able to see the devices, the other hosts are electrically disconnected from the bus so there's no problem.
@@PutItAway101 darn, thanks for this explanation, you dont know how long time ive been trying to figure out how to adress this problem. I wonder why there isnt much about this solution online, i mean i can imagine its pretty common to have one master keyboard and multimple "sound modules" dont you think?
Thanks so much for these! Was helpful :) I just have one question, after recall and save the template I realize my user 1 has almost all the same settings as DAW mode but the displacement controls and the knobs don't work anymore 🥴 do I have to map them again? And if so, how can I map the ⬅️➡️ buttons??
I dont understand what do you mean. You can map anything in your DAW to almost any key/pad in KeyLab in User mode. The buttons in the DAW Command Center are not configurable. I showed everything in the video how to do it, but you will find more details in the user manual. Just go through it. Unfortunately I can't help, it could be so many things which went wrong.Manual it's pretty much self explanatory. Good Luck👍

Great video! Do you how can I make it to keep the changes I make in the 'device setting'? Every time a close the 'MIDI Control Center' after changing the velocity curves, I lose the settings. Tried everything that I could think of, but still nothing... Thanks in advance!
Velocity curves..? This sounds for me like changes in your DAW not Arturia...Or you are referring to velocity knobs which are in AnalogLab settings? I'm lost...All changes in MIDI control center need to be saved as 'new profile' if this is what you mean
@@amagistudio Take a look in 'device settings' and you'll see that keys and pad velocities can be changed (you can see it in your video). I suggest you try. It really improves the feeling, specially for the pads. Anyhow, I believe that every change made in 'device settings' is valid independent of the existing profiles. I managed to change and store it into the keyboard (no profile needed). The issue is that after reopening the 'Midi control center' the changes made are not shown.
@Thiago Lombardi ok I got you now, I didnt read you correctly in the first place, so I was lost what are you asking for MCC/DAW/Al. Yes, I have mine set up yrs ago when I got Arturia first time, and never touch them since. 'Set it and forget it' if it works for you ;) However I don't recon to experience any issues with losing setting once MCC is closed + I saved them all in new template - works for me. On top of that I decreased latency in my DAW to improve velocity of knobs and it works for me. I won't be in the studio for a while to remind myself how exactly I managed to save it, but tbh all I did is went through user manual (I know sound obvious, but this is how I figured everything out). Anyway thank you for sharing maybe someone experienced the same problem and could help 👍 One more thing-make sure your MCC its updated! I experienced diff issues before updating... maybe this will solve
Hello. Thank you for this. Do you have any recommendations for using Arturia keyboards (I have 3) with AUM for IOS?
No, sorry
the first step is not to fall into the apple cult (but hey, my computer science degree is pointless right?)
Hi , was wondering as I'm about to buy a Mk2 can i assign different sounds say for example Rhodes EP and Minimoog on completely different instrument/midi channels ??. Like i can on other keyboards like say a Roland, Korg or Yamaha ?? I'm using Cubase 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated. !!!. Thanks
I have no experience with MK2 nor with Cubase.Cannot comment on those. Just ask Arturia customer service, they are very responsive.
@@amagistudio ok thanks
Hi! This looks like a useful video. I don't seem to have a MIDI Control Center. I was only given 4 softwares to download and that wasn't one of them. I got Analog 4 and 5, Mini V3 and Stage 73-V. Without the MCC I don't know how to connect the keyboard to the software. I get sound from the software but no interface between software and keyboard. Any ideas? I'm new to MIDI in case you couldn't guess, lol.
I think you can download MCC from Arturia website
@@amagistudio thanks I’ll check it out. Weird that they didn’t include it with the other downloads. They make you guess how to use this thing. Haha
When I have Vegas mode enabled it doesn’t activate after 5 minutes and I’ve waited even longer. I’m using Ableton live I’m not sure if Daw effects Vegas mode.
I'm using Ableton Live too and it works fine. Not sure why it didn't work for you... check step by step if you didn't miss anything.
Very nice demo! The best one! Let me ask a question. Which are the available settings for the buttons Part 1&2 and Live, in user maps? Is it possible to assign CCs or even notes to them?
Hi, I don't remember on top of my head if you can assign Part 1 & 2 buttons, but I remember it definitely states in Keylab user manual which keys can be assigned. Just check their manual, but basically if you would just midi map in Live anything ( in live midi map right top corner of arrangement view, all highlighted in purple can be assigned) and then push button Part 1 or Part 2 in Keylab, you will then quick realise if these two can be assigned or not. 👍
@@amagistudio Thank you very much for the quick answer. The operative manual states that they are assignable, but it's not specified how. I'm evaluating to buy the essential 88, I don't still have the real thing; so, I tried to install the MCC, and it's possible to play with it offline. I can say now that yes, it's possible to configure them to send: notes, CCs, Program changes and the MMC (I have no idea what it is intended for).
@@BrianZolo tbf Im now not sure what is your question... If these are assignable then your asign them in exactly the same way as any others (like I showed in the video). Do you know how to midi mapp (asdign keys to your controller) in Ableton Live....? If so the principle remains the same. Its not the matter of Keylab to explain how to assign buttons, but its the matter to understand how to do it in your DAA. If you do know how to midi mapp in Live, just click highlighted in purple whatever you want to assign, then go to Keylab click on the Part 1 button job done! Part 1 will now be assigned to whatever you have chosen in Live. There is no other way to assign keys. You don't really need MCC to do it. Firstly just set up your Midi Controller correctly in Live ( here is quick video how to do it ua-cam.com/video/n_z4shcILu4/v-deo.html) then use Live for midi mapping (top right corner of Live view)
If you go to 10:00 min I literally explained exactly how to do it. And principle will apply to Part 1 & 2 buttons as for pads
@@amagistudio Thank you 😀, your demo is super clear. My question was too focused, sorry 🙂. I'm considering to buy the instrument to use it standalone, power supplied externally, no USB, no DAW, just the MIDI out, and user maps only. I need to send many CCs, so three buttons more can help me. Maybe atypical, but still a possible use case 😁
This looks like a nice keyboard. but i dont use non free software. Does this work with Ardour and some of the linux based DAWs?
It should work with any DAW, how much compatability will be that's another story, but you should really contact Arturia tech. help to confirm. These guys are very helpful, informative and responsive for emails👍I'm only a user, I don't work for Arturia ;)
I didn't see an option to download MCC specifically for Keylab61 Essential. The only option to pick in the Device window was "Keylab Essential," no specific sub model. The template I have in my screen is Keylab Essential 88. How did you get yours to display the correct model? Thanks!
As far as I remember it was new update which messed this up a while ago, that they dropped 61. It should work with either, but if you want specific one you need to go to their website and just choose previous versions (you will find in updates section) I did this a while ago so don't remember more details but I think that's all I did.
@@amagistudio Thanks for that. I installed version 1.7 and it works.
Awesome
Mam can u share the link of MCC for essential 49 ,, i cant find it on arturia website,,, plz help
www.arturia.com/keylab-essential-49/resources go to MIDI Control Center (after installed simply choose KeyLab49 from the devices dropdown box)
so confusing on the Arturia website.Where exactly do I find Midi Control Center? Is it a download? They seem to have 4 or 5. So Do I just randomly pick one and hope for the best?
Yes, it is a download, and as with every software, there will be updates on their websites fixing bugs etc.
Hi if you can tell me one thing,, in ableton when i am trying too hook up my key lab essential daw commands are not working instead it is playing some notes..
I don't understand what do you mean. Just follow all steps I showed in the video and it should all work fine. Study your DAW more to make sure you understand how to MIDI map certain (not all are possible) keys in your DAW with MIDI controller
same thing happens for me im not sure how to fix it though if i figure it out i'll post it under your comment
Mam I today got my keylab essential 49 but I am unable to use the ableton instrument rack macros with the knobs can u help me with that
same, please
In this video ua-cam.com/video/nrCsxhlMZLE/v-deo.html I showed in details how to assign certain MIDI functions from DAW (Ableton) to knobs & buttons in Arturia KeyLab . There is nothing more I could say, than what has already been mentioned in the video to help. If you follow the steps it should work, unless you didn't set up your DAW correctly in the first place with the external instrument (MIDI controller in this case). I would suggest to go back to Ableton User Guide and to figure out how to set up external instrument properly & MIDI mapping. There is so many things which could go wrong, I just simply cannot give you an answer of 'what to do' to make it work. Trial and Error guys - This is how it works I am afraid ;) And remember, that only highlighted in purple functions can be MIDI mapp not all of them. Good Luck!
@@amagistudio so kind of you! thank u so much!
Hi I am Uday, Please can you help me to map my Arturia with Midi Control Center
Could you tell me why my keylab play record and stop controls work on Ableton with windows but when I use Mac they don't?
Your help would be really appreciate thank you.
I'm Windows user, dont know anything about Mac, pls contact Arturia customer services. They are very good and responsive
@@amagistudio there is a reason why I moved on to Mac, because I kept having problems with their program software and this went on for over a month of back and forth with their customers service, henceforth the reason why I am trying other ways first.
- Open Midi Control Centre
- Activate Vegas Mode
- Profit?
Excuse me, mine is also Keylab Essential 61, but when I connect it to the computer, it shows the image of the keylab essential 88 on the controller map. I have upgraded the filmware, now I don't know what to do to define my keyboard
Hi, yes I came across this issue once and as far as I remember (this was a yr ago or so) it was the issue with new update. Regarding Keylab88 - essentially they have the same firmware as 61, but if this bother you(which was my case), then uninstall new update and reverse back to the old version. I spoke to Arturia about this and this is what they adviced to do back then and it worked. If not, I suggest to contact Arturia customer service - they are very responsive. Hope this helps ;)
@@amagistudio Thank you so much！
you are very welcome ;)
Hello, my MCC recognized my Keylab Essential 61 as Keylab Essential 88, how can I fix that and get it like in this video ? Thanks
I answered this question here somewhere already just have a look. In short it will work on 88 or you need to go back to previous update if you want 61

Does this range of keyboards work well with Logic Pro X. Wondering if I made a mistake buying it. Thanks.
I use Ableton Live, but I guess it works well with any DAW. I would be surprised if it wouldn't. I'm pretty sure I they mention this in their manual somewhere
@@amagistudio Sure thanks. On Logic X, the rotary knobs are iffy. Do they work well with Ableton.
They work perfectly fine on Ableton, however you must adjust latency in your interface in order for midi controller to work smooth. Also try preferences in AnalogLab (righ/ bottom corner ) and change latency/smoothness of the knobs there too. Even so we use different DAW the principles remain the same ;) Hope this helps
@@amagistudio Thanks, much, for replying. Are you saying that the settings in Analog Lab can affect how things work in Logic X. I was deliberately postponing installing Analog Lab. Maybe I will now.
No, I didn't mean that settings in AL will affect how Logic is working in general but how its is working with AL itself. All I am saying is, that if you are also using AL, then there are additional settings to tweak it, so it works even better. The whole fun about KeyLab is to use it with AL. Anyway different DAWs can assign different functions to KeyLab and some of them might be limited, however I'm pretty sure Logic should work fine. Its all about latency settings in your DAW, updated drivers etc. oHJust do proper research- online world is full of info. Ask ppl who are Logic users what settings they tweaked in DAW, for KeyLab keys to work smooth.
Where is the midi control center located? Does it pop up when i connect my keyboard to the computer?
You have to download the software
Hello, hope you found it by now… if not you also have to download it at the arturia website
Hi, is there a template for Logic? Thank you.
Nope. I haven't provided template for any DAW, this is only a demo to explain the process I've used for the song made in another video.
@@amagistudio Thank you for the quick reply. You are so talented BTW. thank you so much!
thank you :)
JUST WONDERING HOW TO USE LIVE/BANK
Will this work without using a DAW? I have a UA minimoog that I want to map.
Could you share your template?
I am afraid I don't keep the template of this guide. It was recorded on spot
Agnieszka Magistrelli ok thank you sweet heart. Can you operate your other synths ie. your absynth using the same keyboard even though it is not in keylab 4?
Yes, you can. However Absynth itself is a bit tricky and not all functions you can assign, but this is due to Absynth not Arturia MIDI controller.
For my keyboard section, certain keys are assigned to random functions somehow.
But in the Midi Control Center, we can only assign all the keys as a whole to a certain channel.
Does anyone know how I can reassign all my keys to their original note?
( For example, while most of the keys play their respective note, the G#2 presses play, and the Eb1 activates the arm. This makes it impossible to play. )
If G#2 activates play & Eb1 the arm this could only happen if you have set this way in the User temple or mapped these keys to play & arm accordingly in your DAW directly. So I would suggest you check both MCC and your user templates & DAW midi mapping. Alternatively read Keylab manual for factory reset. Also check this vid for more user template set up and mapping in DAW ua-cam.com/video/-eBqniVrVqc/v-deo.html
@@amagistudio thank you so much! There was nothing mapped in the DAW or control center. Factory reset did nothing but after uninstalling LIVE and reinstalling, it works again. Time to start some music.
I look forward to more videos on the keylab mk2 functionalities. I subscribed and I will like on every video you post on it to support. A lot of us newbies really need a helping hand learning the instrument and theres hardly any videos out there.
Thanks again!
Awesome, thank you. Glad you figured it out. Just note this is not MK2 model. There is a significant difference between Keylab Essential 61 and Essential MK2 ;)
@@amagistudio Oh! Good to know. Im sure there is some things overlapping though. Thank you
Nice. How Arturia Keylab Essential integrates with FL Studio? Can we utilize all the functionality of the keyboard? Works seamlessly with FL Studio. Thank you very much.
I'm Ableton Live user, hence cannot comment on FL Studio, however there is something mentioned about other DAWs in Keylab user manual. Alternatively you can always reach their customer service. They are very responsive. I'm not Arturia representative, I'm the User as us all, so I do not know how the Keylab behave with the other DAWs I am afraid.
@@amagistudio Thanks a lot for your honest feedback.
It does, but not as well as in Ableton. For example, the Analog Lab mode only automatically assigns the faders to Analog Lab software when I go into the settings in the channel rack for that channel and select the input to be the same as the input for the keyboard in FL Studio. Related to this, you need to go into FL's midi settings and select your keylab DAW/MIDI input and output, which is quickly explained in Arturia's tips and tricks manual online for Keylab. Not hard at all, but more annoying than in Ableton, where all the features automatically work the second you open Ableton. The most annoying thing for me in FL is that if I've set a channel (Analog Lab for example) to respond to midi input 1 in order for all the faders to work the way they should, that channel will then output volume no matter which channel I've selected afterward, until I go back and reset the midi channel for Analog Lab. So basically, there's a small setup each time you want the faders to work for a given channel of Analog Lab as well as a "de-setup" when you change channels. Luckily, I've found that for custom mappings that you can make for third party software. Then again, I rarely use the faders and knobs because, as they aren't motorized, they can easily mess up an existing level of a parameter if I've been using them in another instance (for example, if I'm mixing and my volume level was tweaked on one fader and then I switched to another set of mixer inserts and used the same fader to adjust another level). There is a setting shown in this video that allows you to have the faders not change any level until the fader reaches the level set in the parameter, but I don't think this is available for the knobs, which is kinda dumb :/) TLDR: It works fine for most features in FL, but requires some basic setup. FL isn't great with midi controllers in general from what I can tell so I'd say this is gonna do about as much as any other similar midi keyboard in FL :)
