    Anyone doing this?

    I have a bunch of Arturia VSTs and it would be awesome if I could have a controller (KeyLab mk3) that'd allow me to control the software with it.

    Just wondering how the integration works and if it even works with medicated software....

    Just like it would with any other. My MiniLab 3 and KeyLab 25 both work perfectly, as did my previously KeyLab Essentials 49 Mk2.

    Sweeeet! Any specific process or just plug and play?
    I did see a bit of this Arturia MIDI Control Center or something along those lines that needs to be installed, etc.....

    Here is some information and a free download of the MCC software!

    The MIDI Control Center (MCC) has been specially designed to manage different aspects of your controller, such as device settings, firmware updates, device memories, local templates and the MIDI console. https://www.arturia.com/technology/mcc

    Just plug and play.

    The Arturia MIDI Control Center works too and worth installing. It's kinda nothing to do with the Arturia plugin software. All MIDI Control Center is is a tool that properly installs the Arturia drivers and also has a GUI tool that allows you to customise your controller, such as change functions of keys, knobs, and faders, change CC numbers, and so on. Therefore, it's very useful if that's something you want to do, but not necessary.

    Maaaan, I just bought the controller and it just ain't working for me. Doesn't show anything on the screen when opening Analog Lab or any other Arturia plugin.....

    What do you mean by "medicated"?

    Did you install and configure the MCC as well as the Arturia driver?

    Is the MiniLab in the right mode? If you press SHIFT + PROG pad it changes the mode to flick between Analog Lab, DAW, MIDI etc on the fly.

    I bought for cheap a keylab 49 mk2 last week.
    I dl'd Analog Lab V 5.10.6 from the Arturia site & also dl'd an R2R release from sister site that makes it work.
    All seems to be working, Only thing I get for about 10secs is a blank screen that goes once it has loaded.
    Keyboard is already configured for Analog Lab when I press the Analog Lab button on it.

    Is the keyboard detected in the MCC app?

    I got it working, had to download a more recent V Collection!
    Appreciate you chiming in!

    Yes. I managed to get it working. Needed the latest Arturia bundle (stupid me) :unsure:.

    i'm using V 9 with no problems on a arturia keylab 25, and an arturia Keylab 88, no problems. I've used the MCC to update firmware on both without problems. its the R2R release of the V collection 9. You probably don't need the latest version of V collection, but you do need to have the device recognized by the operating system and any drivers required by your device to talk to the operating system and to your DAW.

    all that has to happen before your device will work with Arturia software.

    also have a couple sparkLE controllers work with R2R releases no problem..

    Thanks for chiming in. I think in my case (and since my controller is so new - KeyLab 61 mk3), it seems that I did in fact need newer versions. I even had an earlier version of version 10 while it wasn't working, however, prior to updating to the newest versions available, I did notice that when I'd click the Settings icon, under MIDI Controller, it only said "KeyLab 61" whereas on these newer versions, it says "KeyLab 61 mk3" so the issue is most certainly that. Just glad it's working because I really love the feel of this keybed :no:
