Hello! Thanks for this tutorial. It was helpful, although today I worked out a solution that I find preferable. I've got a video up on my channel.

The drive file does not work

Hi there. I recently bought an Arturia key lab essential and I’m trying to figure out how to map it. I figured out some of how to map it but I’m stuck on some things. Would you be willing to help me figure out how to make it 100% functional so I can finally make music.

Thanks a lot for this video! Really on the fence of getting it! Would I be able to control other libraries as well with it? Like turning the knobs in Kontakt for example. Or Best Service's Engine 2.

I can honestly say I learned absolutely nothing from this video tutorial. You don't sound 100% sure of what you are doing yourself.

Your template on google drive doesn't work at all unfortunately. Instead of all the templates in the video, it's just one called "Best KeyLab Setup" with the default settings. It's alright tho, I'll do it manually now, this is the last thing I'm gonna try to get this piece of shit to work. After that I'll either install and learn Ableton or sell it. To everyone who doesn't care about a mediocre keybed but better FL integration: Get a Novation LaunchKey Mk3. Pretty much plug-n-play.

Thanks for the tutorial my man. Good stuff. You are a riot haha. Cheers.

I use this method instead kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHqqZ6uimdGDb9U works great

You left out too much. This is a useless video

Just got the flkey 37 and your tutorial really helped me unlock the full power of the device.

youre a lifesaver man, thank you thank you

thank you for doing this!im shocked how bad arturia is when it comes to anything relating to other companies. like fl studio. its so much work just to get basic functionality! this is not for impatient beginners,like me. i am actually sorry i bought this. and wont buy arturia ever again. its just not worth the hassle. hardware is quite nice,tho. but since the interwebs are home to some really awesome human beings,i can get help to fix the issues im not smart enough to fix myself! and i am very grateful. THANK YOU! the customer "support" they offer is even worse than 3rd party software integration. i got my essential 49 on wednesday,last week. i still cant use it properly,like advertised. and "support" not supporting their products. i just hope most people are able to get an arturia that works as intended. also,the analog lab stuff is solid. its obvious that arturia know very well what quality is,and how to produce it. thats why this is infuriating. if not for heros like Ean (yes i see him as a HERO,an evertday hero),people like wouldnt even have hope of getting it to work. random people online contribute so much,and usually for free! i have so much love and respect for everyone who helps people they dont even know,for free. guys like this are making pc gaming what it is,and also the midi controller community. and i noticed it is usually the smaller channels that are most helpful. at around 200k subs,channels start focusing on making enough money to live off of. and that hurts the quality,of course. so many times i have unsubbed a channel when it gets larger/worse,and find a smaller channel with the proper focus. merry christmass,to all!

Keyboard is not working any solution. Pad works.

Hi, can you please tell me if midi channel for Pitch and MOD wheels can be set as well? Thank you

what genre is this?

Thank you! Very helpfull.

Would you be so kind to explain what user midi channel button does?

thank you for your video , from where i could download the MIDI control Center ?

Wow that was a really good video on how much potential is in this keyboard. Have you tried out the midi script on the imageline forum?

Thank you for the precious info! Pretty useful discovery while assigning channels one at a time: If you assign desired channel, then right click on it, and then you can assign the desired channel to other pads, knobs etc. Just right click, and then -> copy value to other pads, buttons, knobs. Saves time! :)

How to change presets and banks of non arturia vst direct from the midi keyboard... Is it possible??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Please reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hey) I did all things that u said, but my keyboard doesn’t work with Mackie Control Universal

NEED A PART 2! I need to figure out how use my mod and pitch

Thank you! Very helpfull.

Plz help me I’m retarded and I cannot figure out how to make sound come out of the keyboard. Only works on the virtual keyboard idk y

I’m so upset. Day after day I cannot figure out how to even make mine work can someone plz help. When I try to play mine it only works on the virtual keyboard not the actual keyboard there is no sound. Did I mess up settings on midi control center. I can’t hear anything out of my headphones either? Any help will be greatly appreciated ty

Hi! Wile you playing do you have latency between press (key) and sound??? I have and it made impossible to play... Tnx 4 help (2 anyone) :)

Bro can u please make another drum map present for minilab mk2. It will be a huge help for me and other like me

OK I have now sorted the MIDI CH issue. It's a lengthy answer and so I won't clog up noroots' channel. Anyone need the details email me [email protected].

Has anyone worked out how to change MIDI channels with the "MIDI CH" button? The channel shows a change in the display but the channel on the DAW (Cubase 11) doesn't actually change.

@NoRoots Thanks for the map you uploaded to Google drive. Looking at it in Notepad gets me thinking I could write my own. Do you know what the syntax is? There are only three elements after the header: "XXX_Y" and the Z after the ":" if that makes sense. What do X, Y and Z refer to, do you know?

Does analog lab come free with artutia keylab midi keyboard?

Is it best to use VSTs inside of DAWs or is stand-alone better? Most videos I see people are using them in DAWs. I am more focused on live performance. Thx.

I am looking for a way of setting different instrumens to the controller and have them working at the same time, for example, having some drums on the pads and a piano on the keys, being able to play them both at the same time without them overlaping, any idea how to do that?

The only thing I noticed is that the main knob and other knobs/sliders on the VST that's defined with the "1" in/out port assignment will always move when playing around on other user settings. Nice work around, though I am trying to sort out having only one set of knob/slider reaction.

So whenever i put the input port number in even when i switch off the analog bank it still plays the analog keys and i dont know why help please

I followed these exact steps and im having trouble switching off and playing a different instrument, so i open analog and then a different analog but when i go to bank 3 and try playing it it plays both instruments at the same time and they are both on different channels im very confused

Hey man I’m having trouble getting the knobs to work. Any idea how to get them to work?

Since we have only 8 pads, how do I access another pad bank just like we do for Minilab MK2?

Even with the template download i still feel completely lost.

hey bro this was really helpful really appreciate it ,but when I get to use my port 0 so that I can map the drum pads to individual channels the Pitch bend doesn’t work !!! I just got the essentials 88 and please can you tell me what is midi scripting , I mean is there’s a way so that I can make the big button and the (3 white buttons on the right) work inside any vst or in fl itself and thanks man really

Does anyone know how to change the key of the drum pads? They seem to be default at C3

I'm trying to do this in Reaper (the technique is exactly the same) but when I go to do the MIDI learn for the parameter, no CC info shows up. It's as if Reaper can't recognize it. But the Keylab works perfectly in Analog Lab mode and in DAW mode.

How would this be possible to use in any other controller? I have a m audio axiom 25 and a oxygen mk2 49.

Hey, could someone please help me with this issue I'm having? Setting up the keyboard works great, but if i go into another VST and play MIDI it will produce sound from both Analog lab and the other VST simultaniously. I locked the note to the specific channel as you do in the video, but it does not work the same :(

Love your chilled vibes

Real smooth

everything is working in this keys in fl studio? I mean all functions?

Wow

What is different between MIDI Note and Switched Control? I am so confused of this keyboard :DD
