Does the arpeggiator work on its own if I hooked it up to a module or does it only work as a midi controller? Thanks 🙏🏻

Hi all,

Please help a fellow guitarist here. My Arturia MF 2 has been working like a charm up until now that after about 7 months of no us, when I plug it it makes a white noise and doesn't recognise my plug ins like guitar rig 6. I haven't changed anything in the laptop I was using or even cables. I've tried all the typical fixes like

Swap USB cable / tested different ports

​Re-installed Arturia MiniFuse Control Center

​Checked Windows control panel settings

Any other suggestions??

Many thanks

I'm new to playing synthesizers. My favorite genres are 90s and 2000s eurodance, deep house, techno, and trance. From what I have heard the Minifreak would have the most options, but I don't know if it would be overwhelming for a beginner. I worry if I would stick with it, and if I should start with a cheap midi controller like the Minilab3. However, I also wonder if I'll regret not going all out and going with the Minifreak at the same time?

I'm going to just be playing in my room for fun, so I don't need anything super extra for concert use. I have seen youtubers cover songs with a midi keyboard like the Minilab 3. I don't know if having less keys will make a difference. I also wonder if with the minifreak I may end up laying more since it doesn't need to be plugged into a computer like midi controllers.

Which of these 3 would you suggest based on my musical interests? What is best for a beginner between the 3?

I own a KeyLab 49 MK3 and Analog Lab Pro, and Arturia is currently offering me V Collection 11 Intro for €99.
I’m pretty sure I want to get Intro anyway, but with Black Friday only 7 weeks away, I’m wondering if it’s worth waiting.
Has anyone seen Intro drop below €99 during previous Black Friday sales, especially with a personal upgrade offer?
Patience isn’t exactly my strong suit, so I’m tempted to just grab it now. 😅
What would you guys do?
