I thought the concept would attract a lot of 3rd parties to make custom stands and racks but there's just... Nothing? There are racks and stands for every synth except for the one with actual threaded sockets?
Does anyone know the name of the controller circled in red??
Please help! My Arturia Minilab 3 is making this annoying BONK noise on every key and pad and I can't figure out how to get rid of it! I don't even know what it is. It plays under the synths I have plugged in on every note and still plays when i unplug everything - how is it doing this when the Arturia cannot make its own sounds>?!!!
Hello, I have a question about B-3. I have a midi track and it plays everything on the top keyboard of the hammond. How can I chose which notes are played on the top keys and which ones are played on the bottom keys please ? I'm using Ableton Live.
I could just have two separate B-3's but I'd like to have it only on a single instance of B3 to save CPU
Help! I just bought the minilab 3 yesterday and i cant make it work.
First thing I did was plugging it to the pc and installing Analog Lab Intro like the box suggested to. I also installed Arturia Service Center and MIDI Control Center but still nothing! I tried it on Ableton and it seemed to work at first, then I tried on Analog but it doesnt seem to detect it. If I go to "Audio MIDI Settings" there no list of devices from which I can select the minilab 3. (screenshot)
If I go to MCC it keeps saying that the minilab might be being use by another app but it's not! I closed everything. (screenshot)
I think I installed everything and did every update yesterday. Today I tried unistalling everything and repeating every step but it only got worse: now it doesnt work on Ableton as well!
I checked Windows Device Manager to see if the midi was being detected and it all seems all right.
I'm going crazy here, can anyone help pls, I was so excited to start producing something but I'm stuckkkk.
Hi, so I have a Mini Lab 3 and I am working on a Mac Air macOS Monterey 12.7.1…I have consistently had issues with Mini Lab 3 connection since i’ve gotten it and only had a handful of seamless workflow experiences without issues. Anytime I open Analog V to experiment with new sounds to find and use in the instrument library, I get no sound from the keys of the Mini Lab 3 despite it being lit up, and active. The sound works on Analog V when the piano roll is out and that is it. I have tried all the cables and even got a new one sent to me via Arturia so I know it’s not the physical cable connection, there is just no connection from the keys to the software (only sometimes and i’m not usually sure what it is when it connects and just works right away).
In addition , because of this I have issues with Abelton and when I cannot connect to Analog V, I also have no access to the plug ins I used previously in other projects/compositions when the Keyboard connected fine. Abelton tells me the “Plug-in is offline” and just has an empty track play without the previously selected plug-in that I no longer can access via Analog V. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can connect my keyboard to the Analog V so I can actually get some sound and make music again ? Within the software center everything was updated fine to my knowledge until recently where I couldn’t update it until another download completed ( and I didn’t download anything else). Now it says “download error” after trying to update Analog V, despite me being able to still open the app/software. Any guidance on getting the Analog V to update, work/connect to my Mini Lab 3 and Ableton would be definitely appreciated as this has made me super uninspired to work and create. Thank you !!
I just (finally) bought the Microfreak. I am on Windows 11. I cannot get the ASC software to open. I was able to finally get the Midi software to open, and to update the firmware, but it is stuck on the preset page, and everything else is grayed out. I would like to download some of the official presets, as well as 3rd party ones, but it seems impossible.
Any fixes for this?
interested in picking up a 49 key midi controller, does something like the KeyLab Essential mk3 ever go on sale?
I have seen plenty of software package deals, but none specifically mention hardware.
I'm about to buy my first MIDI controller and could use some real world input before I commit.
Quick background: this is my first real venture into production, just picked up Ableton 12. Not totally new to music though, I've played guitar for a while so chords and rhythm aren't foreign to me, just the DAW/production side that's new. Genre wise I'm leaning house, deep house, and DnB, though my ear also pulls toward prog metal and jazz harmony, so I'll probably end up playing around with chords more than the average beginner.
Here's where I'm stuck:
Option 1 is the Arturia MiniLab 3, brand new for ₹9,990 (~$116). 25 slim keys, 5 year warranty + the onboard arp/chord/hold modes and a small screen.
Option 2 is a [2nd hand] Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 MK2, purchased late 2022. Asking price ₹12,500 negotiable (~$145). 49 keys plus 9 knobs and 9 faders, but no screen, no arp/scale/hold modes since those got added in the mk3. It's obviously out of warranty, and from what I can tell the DAW integration scripts for the mk2 aren't getting much love anymore compared to mk3.
The thing I keep going back and forth on is whether more keys is actually worth giving up a warranty, a newer keybed, and those arp/chord tools for. Coming from guitar I like the idea of having more range to play with so I'm not constantly octave shifting, but I also don't want to overpay for an older used unit just for key count if it's something I'd stop noticing after a week.
Also curious how much the DAW integration gap actually matters in practice for someone just starting out. Is "it still works, just not actively updated" totally fine, or does that kind of thing end up causing annoying friction down the line once you're actually in a workflow?
Anyone who's used either of these, or started on a 25 key mini and either outgrew it or never needed more, I'd love to hear how it played out for you. Trying not to overbuy for a habit I haven't built yet, but also don't want to underbuy and create friction once I actually get going.
Thanks in advance!
I spilled a glass water over my Minifreak . It wasn't turn on/not connected to power tough. I opened it up and put a ventilator near the side so water can dry quickly. Any additional tips? Hope I can save it 🥹
I have Keylab Essentials 49 that has a dead key. Has anyone successfully repaired such a thing at home?
Any advice?
My new Keylab 61 isn't communicating with my PC. It is accepting firmware updates through the Midi control centre, although each time it is booted it displays an error message. I've reinstalled every piece of software, and it still isn't sowing up as an input in Reaper. Has anyone delt with this?
I bought a used minilab mk2, connected it to my windows desktop via the included usb chord, directly to the mothernoard.
The keyboard lights up in color and it seems to work fine, but then i get a windows message that windows does not recognize the latest usb device, and the connection is turned off.
i downloaded midi control center and the firmware file from the arturia website, but midi control also does not recognize my keyboard.
What should i do?
I went to register my new Keylab 49 mk3, and around half way into typing in the serial number and code, this error would pop up. Tried turning off ad blockers and reloading the page, but nothing’s working. Went to submit a help ticket and I can’t even do that. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Hi! This is my first time getting an audio interface and I was wondering which one to get. The minifuse 4 is well used and 2nd hand, but it is cheaper than a brand new minifuse 2.
​
My use cases are probably just home recording, input channels will be for just a microphone and my guitar. Just playing around and trying to get into producing as a hobby. I dont have any MIDI instruments for now but might get one in the future.

Thanks in advance!
