I’ve been trying to setup the minilab 3 to fl studio for almost 4 hours now and nothing is working when I updated the firmware in the midi control it doesn’t even show up in fl anymore all I was trying to do is get the clickable encoder to scroll through the presets in analog lab genuinely this setup is hell and on top of that my komplete start code didn’t even work wtf

To many choices ?

My proof? I have been on hold for almost a month while Arturia reorganizes their USA customer support service department. I have a 2000$ synth that is essentially a paperweight at the moment.

They said directly to me quote "We are currently working on an internal reorganization of our repair centers in the USA so we can improve the quality of our services into the future and for this reason currently we don't have the option to receive your MatrixBrute for repairs at the moment".

That was April 20th. It's been almost a month now and no response. Based on the wording, I'm of the opinion that this is a country wide hold. And even though my device is several years old and thus no longer under warranty, I'm confident that this issue will affect anyone even if they still have an active warranty. They didn't say that they can't receive my device because it's out of warranty. That's not the issue. They just can't receive it period.

Therefore, it is entirely plausible to assume that anybody who receives an Arturia product will have to wait if there is any issue that requires servicing.

I'm not telling you what to do, I'm just warning you that this is the current state of their customer services. Maybe buy from other companies that have proven their reliability and customer support, because as it stands right now, Arturia seems to be unreliable if one of your devices needs servicing or repair.

It's one of the factory presets. I'm trying to recreate it on another 3 oscillator mono synth. When you hold a key down you can hear the filter attack, decay, & sustain.

If you continue holding the key down you hear what sounds like the filter cycles through again & again like it's on a slow loop. But I don't see how. The LFO & function generator on the advance tab have no destination.

How are they doing it?

One of my MF with detent and switch encoders (the modulation matrix one) broke. I'm trying to find the part but for now, the only similar thing I found is this: https://www.vintagesynthparts.com/other-brands/arturia/origin/
I'm not sure if it's even compatible.

Any help will be much appreciated!

An awesome video by Free Beat showcasing the powerful Minifreak.

Had no idea he was going to use some of my presets. Randomly popped up on my feed.

He has a great channel, highly recommend his content.

Looking forward to more updates to the Minifreak in the future.

Really excited.

It’ll be joining a Model:Cycles, Behringer Crave, West Pest, and a LoFi-12.

Is it me (very possible) or the pads on this controller are really hard? I already tinkered the velocity, but sometimes it will not register the hits.
I don't think it's faulty, as I've seen complaints about it on their forum.

Actually, I can tap it harder, but then it becomes tricky to play with the dynamics (light/strong hits).

Any tips or opinions on this?

I was just gifted the new Expressive E Osmos CE (midi controller only no synth engine)

I currently have arturia v collection/lab and I’m having fun with the augmented series so far, but being new to this it’s unclear to me which patches are mpe or not until I try to wiggle etc.

I have vital/surge and I’m itching to get pigments but trying to hold out until the summer sale…but gas be gassing.

Anything free would be welcome!

And yes I will start learning how to configure my own mpe stuff as I go, but I want to play.

I watched some YouTube videos alongside it and all the sounds when I'm pressing the buttons don't sound the same.

I don't know if there's something wrong with the unit, but I'm just listening through headphones and there's literally no sound until I push the volume up past half way, and then it just starts getting really distorted even with distortion turned off.

Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to return it if that's how it's meant to be. I was just following the knobs in the YouTube video and his sounded really clean where as mine sounded really distorted.

EDIT, READ THIS FIRST : Arturia answered to my ticket, I can confirm that their script will not help you as it is given, because it checks for the combination of VendorID and ProductID, with the VendorID being HARDCODED into the DFU helper they use. So you can't use it to flash the minifreak in its DFU ST mode, as it uses a different VendorID. They will give me instructions on how to fix my unit on monday or tuesday, and if they allow me to share them I will document them in a separate post, so that this information exists publicly on the internet somewhere. Who knows, maybe one day arturia won't be there anymore to help you fix a bricked Minifreak, and that'd be a shame.

Heya all. Long story short my minifreak is bricked, like many others. But mine doesn’t have its guarantee, and support is unresponsive, so I opened it up and found out you can force it into DFU mode. Yipee. But now what ? minifreak V doesn’t see it in this state (different vendor ID since not the arturia bootloader) and dfu util only sees the two main processors, but the firmware actually flashes 5 other UI elements.

All that to say, if anyone has the script they give to users to bypass the minifreak V, I’d be happy to get it from you, as it may hold the key to this.

Hello, i am wondering how to get the td-3 to work with the drumbrute ?

My setup is currently the 2 and an amp.

Routing the td 3 midi in to drumbrute midi out then the output from the drumbrute to the amp.

The drumbrute can make the td3 play but it doesnt play the sound.
