Im struggling to make my keylab mk3 61 works properly in ableton, all controls are working normally, but the contextual buttons are not working in the DAW... i use the suite version of ableton 11...
To all those who have problems with the DAW mode in Ableton. It does not work with Live 10 and only partially with Live 11 (depends on the version). You have to upgrade Ableton, then everything will work. I upgraded from Live 10 to 12 and everything works fine (after the correct settings in the Midi Control Centre and Live Midi settings) (Mac User).
I got my MK3 today but the script isn't working in Live 11.3.2. Transport buttons don't do anything, encoder doesn't change or launch scenes. Also some of the keys were not working in Live.
Same here. This is after I had to get a replacement keyboard from Sweetwater because the screen on the first one I got went white where I couldn't see anything. None of the knobs, faders, controls period are recognized by Ableton Live
I am happy to say that the problem I had with my kl49 was solved by updating the firmware of the controller. Get Midi Control Center from Arturia, open the application and the update was "offered" immediately. After upgrading I tried again and it works as shown in the video 🎉
I can only repeat what you said. Before I download midi control center, the keyboard was acting very strangely. Whenever I touched any knob, slider or button (eg: octave up / down) there would be a horrible volume/velocity spike if you were playing a note on the keyboard after moving aforementioned knob, slider or button. Made the keyboard unplayable. Asked Arturia for help, still no answer. By accident I downloaded MCC, there was a firmware update available, I download it - and all is now perfect. Hope this helps anyone experiencing similar problems…
Got one few days ago (the 61 version). I don't know how to play it. I should say, I know how to play my first notes thanks to the free music lessons. Said this, even without aftertouch (but the pads have it) it's a great fun to learn how to play my keyboard. The 88 has aftertouch but it has another price tag too...
I have found one partial solution is if I make a Playlist in Analog Lab Pro that I am able to change tracks in DAW mode and then use the faders and nobs in Arturia mode with preset and device descriptions showing on the keyboard screen. This works once I try to use the faders or knobs after a short delay of a few seconds. This only works for items in the playlist and any other tracks created with items outside that play list do not work.
Would be possible to have an update on the minilab 3 to be able to control directly devices of ableton and not just macros? Hope will come soon pleaaase !!!
In device mode can you control parameters of a third party vst e.g. serum, if you have configured that vst and have mapped it within ableton via the configure button?
I can't use KL 49 K3 with Ableton, knobs and faders don't work and Arp in sync mode don't detect any clock signal from DAW My version of Live is last available
Does the record transport button trigger recording into the clip view or into the arrange page? Or does it do both (shift click rec etc. like in some other controllers)
Opened Ableton Lite 11 and then the VST3 Analog Lab V plug in to play the keyboard through the DAW. I noticed the big knob on the Arturia works to go through the Analog Lab menu settings but no the little buttons under it to go though the other submenus. ? I had to unplug and replug it in the arturia keyboard to have those buttons enabled. Anybody else encounter that and have a solutiuon?
do we have a on/off function on this ? i hate it that my midik i use now remains on even if i turn off the pc and i am tierd of allways removing the usb cable which is even behind and having that on my desk is a Pain in the butt ! i dont understand why they do not build a on off switsh on the top of these things but allways on the back
In mixer mode, I want to control the Sends instead of Pans. Is this possible?? Pan with a knob is not important. Sends are crucial for me for producing Dub.
Ableton isn’t recognizing my keybaord! Can someone help! When I connect my Novation MK3, I can see it highlight the first to row of clips but when I connect the keylab essential 49, it’s not there. I also can’t use the stop, play, or record buttons
UPDATE: go to Preferences>Midi> Change your control surface to “Keylab Essential mk3”. Change your Input and Output to KL Essential (49 or 61) but select the midi option in the dropdown.
The same issue is with me, the script doesn't work with Ableton Live 10 suite. The support gave a response that Ableton has only provided the script from 11.3.3 onwards. Does anyone know a workaround for this?
will the encoders pick up the current knob position in ableton device control mode or is it like an absolute position and you have to catch the position? can't find the answer anywhere
Knowing the answer to this is very important to me too. If the knobs respond by updating the context parameters without jumping (and without having to do pickup), I would buy it. But at minute 1:58 it is clearly seen that IT IS NOT SO.
@@byniasofficial2567 That is not the best option since you have to rotate the knob until you reach the current value of the parameter. What I mean is to move the knob always from the position where the parameter is, even if you change the context. This can only be achieved if the controller works with a script that synchronizes software parameters with the knobs (infinite rotation) when changing context. To understand how this works, check the Akai APC40 MK2, whose knobs have a ring of leds around them that always indicate the position they start from in the software.
@@Mikas_Emil I got it working in the end but it wasn't as simple as the minilab - i can't remember exactly how I got from A to B now though sadly... I'm happily using it now though and love it
@@kaywoodparsons5307 As other replies have mentioned, out the box it didn't. I had to go through troubleshooting with support to fix it. They might have fixed it by now
Just got my mk 3 49. plugged it in and launched ableton suite. hit program to DAW but what now? i turned the main encoder to find the daw list but nothing. am i missing a step?
Just as a heads up as of this comment when you play any arturia instrument that is not Analog Lab the screen does not show the name of the control. A HUGE miss given that it shows names for non arturia plugins. Insanely stupid. You also can't change preset if you're not in Analog Lab and using another Arturia synth. I think I might just switch back to the Push.
After some exchange of messages with Arturia support desk I have an acknowledgement that this is an issue being addressed by the Dev team …… ------ Hello Brian, Thank you for the update, I’m glad to read that you found a workaround. After digging into our log, I could find that this issue has been registered in the past for the Dev Team to fix it as soon as possible. I’ll add your case to the log to increase priority. Let me know if you have further comments. Kind regards, Arturia Support --------
So many people left comments that midi key doesn't work in ableton live. And steel no anyone responded in the comments yet. useless plastic. bad product!
The same issue is with me, the script doesn't work with Ableton Live 10 suite. The support gave a response that Ableton has only provided the script from 11.3.3 onwards. Not sure if there's a workaround.
@@androidfarmer8863 it works great with ableton. There is a daw control mode that is supposed to link up. Instead of using key essential as the track source in the midi section you have to use mackie. Idk . They say they will fix this. Everyone has the issue. But for the price it’s amazing and who really needs it in daw controll. I wouldn’t use it anyways I just map everything. Plus everything works great with analog lab v that comes with it. When you go to an instrument everything is aleady set to faders
@@evanwilster Thanks - out of curiosity, what exactly is the "Full Version" of Analog Lab V? Their site has conflicting information about what actually comes with it, since it appears to be a browsing/mixing utility and not a collection of sounds. Some places on the site say it comes with 4,000 sounds, other say 2,000, and in other places it says it's presets... but I'm not sure of the benefit of having a utility for browsing/buying sounds I may never use. Also, I'm assuming this "Full Version" is the one that costs $200 otherwise? The only two I saw are the $200 version and a demo version.
This product is terrible and as always, Arturia tutorials are too vague. They never work for the majority of users and I honestly don’t know why I bought this product. I’ve been playing and making music for over 15 years and have never struggled with anything as much as I struggle with arturia products. What’s the point
The MIDI control center is not working. It just crashes.Or writes that the keyboard is connected to another program. A useless piece of plastic. There is no sound in ABLETON at all, although he sees the keyboard. A bad product. I released MK 3, but it doesn't work!
How many MIDI keyboards do people have to make before they realize that no one, and I mean NO one (in a studio environment) is going to use ANY of these buttons, knobs, or faders. ESPECIALLY when anyone does it twice as fast with a mouse (practically at the speed of thought) TELL ME who is mixing on MIDI controller faders? My God. It's PURELY aesthetic. M-Audio has been doing this same thing FOREVER and it's just the same concept, regurgitated. This however, is a controller made to partner with a plugin, which makes sense, but at the same time it's just a cash grab to make you buy more sounds for the library (in case the 10,000 or how many ever) don't seem to be enough already. I'm sure at some point there will be a subscription service, if there isn't already....to get the latest sounds. This is all a setup. It always is. Arturia, NI, Izotope....NONE of them are doing anything to push things forward because how much more can you really do? They are just figuring out how to monetize every, little, detail. We had synths before all this, with built-in sounds and now you release a MIDI controller to control DIGITAL software and call it Avant-Gard? Seriously? And the price? Are you guys actually out of your minds? The bottom line here was to sell the software, not the computer. We all know how much profit is in software. It's obscene. For age-old sounds? Dude...go on FB marketplace, Reverb, or Ebay and get you a real synth. Something you can ACTUALLY own, and take pride in. Take all your firmware, software and well, just all your updates and shove them. It's just a shame that newer producers don't know any better.

In my minilab mk3. When i arm a track, the pad doesnt light up. 😢
OK seems to be working nicely now, I switched to another usb port, all is ok.
what about firmware updates for the Keylab Mk2 users??
I have been attempting to turn on the LED lights, but I am unable to do so. Could you assist me, please? Anyone?
If the knobs worked from the point where the parameter is, I would buy it, but it seems that they still work in the old 'pickup' mode.
If only I read your message before making the purchase... There is no relative mode for knobs in device general settings.
I have found one partial solution is if I make a Playlist in Analog Lab Pro that I am able to change tracks in DAW mode and then use the faders and nobs in Arturia mode with preset and device descriptions showing on the keyboard screen.
