Damn this thing is fire .. just bought a minilab MK2 and found this video.. damn I swear it gives me Vibes of "sad samurai walking near a sea shore , after winning a deadly battle with his enemies and after losing the loved ones.. "

[@cemcine5403]

For that vibe I suggest the manga “Lonely Wolf and cub”

[@emperomassinencambio...9941]

After winning a deadly battle with his best friend from childhood with whoom he learned the way of the warrior but at some point he turned to the evil side* The rest seems accurate, lol.

how is it im doubting to buy it

[@zet5092]

@@correoparatodo4631 I know I'm not the person you asked, but I have it and I really love it! You can't go wrong with buying this one. The only thing I don't like about it is how the knobs don't have a set low and high point, so sometimes it just glitches a bit, but that's just a minor flaw. (it's also my first midi keyboard so i don't have any comparison)

[@salvadoravila7145]

@@MrVahe yes, I was thinking of buying a Microkorg to have a small synth handy, but for the price and workflow I believe this one would work for me, even though still needs my laptop around..

[@MrVahe]

@@salvadoravila7145 I have another video I'm showing one of my workflows of using it. Never had the Microkorg, so can't compare them. But I'm happy with this controller, considering that the huge library of Arturia V collection is very well integrated with their Midi Controllers, even the new synth Pigment has integration with this controller to change sounds, control the sound as well.

+Vage Are you using ableton live 9.7.2 or 9.7.1? I have seen that there are serious issues of compatibility and use of the minilab mk2 with Ableton Live. forum.arturia.com/index.php?topic=89683.0%EF%BB%BF

[@MrVahe]

I am using 9.7.2 and didnt have any issues so far.

[@Daniel71molgrand]

+Vage OK thanks for answering, finding out about this I found out that the problems with the Minilab MKII were fixed in version 9.7.2 of Ableton Live as it appears on its website (Live 9 Release Notes). It's good news that seems to confirm with your answer, because I'm really considering buying this midi controller instead of the Launchkey Mini. Any advice or opinion of your experience with the Minilab in Ableton would appreciate it very much. Thank you. By the way, excellent your performance.

[@MrVahe]

Daniel Molgrand thank you :) I like the workflow with this controller and Ableton. Nothing super advanced, but simple and clear, in my case exactly what I need. I'll recommend this controller for sure if you are using Ableton or want to be mobile and use it anywhere you wish.

Great production. I believe all Clips were pre recorded, am I right ? Just to understand, because during clip recording the Pads take Red Color and also on Arturia Minilab MK2 there is no function to stop the clips playing thru the PADS. You have to select an empty clip and press again to stop the playing clip. Just to understand if existing any workaround ?

[@MrVahe]

Thanks) there are some clips that were not pre recorded. I have a video guide how I did this music. If you go to my channel you will see a video tutorial. There is also a link is in the description below this video.

[@vladimirzuev1458]

nice work, friend - so interesting not only hear, but see good work (it gives more native/natural emotions) :> I have some questions for you: 1. Did you use only AnalogLab as synth? 2. Does mapping work by default (auto) for Ableton's MIDI Tracks? I mean an auto-mapping to knobs when instrument switched. hope, you understand me, ty :>

[@MrVahe]

Vladimir Zuev hey, thanks mate, nice to hear that :) 1. I also used one sound from omnisphere 2 and one from Ableton library. 2. Everything was premapped by arturia by default, the only thing I added is pressing the shift button and using the pads to switch the instruments (this i've done in Ableton live by pressing the mini keyboard icon on top right screen). And the midi control center app wich comes with arturia has a lot of variety of settings to customize everything as you want. Hope this helps ☺️

[@vladimirzuev1458]

Vage yeah, it really helps - now I know what controller can replace my broken AKAI :D thanks again, and good luck :>
