Arturia Minilab MKII UPDATE! | FIRMWARE UPDATE EXPLAINED (& making a beat of course)

[@7broly1000]

the fact that you made this entire beat in just a few minutes has me incredibly inspired

[@highdesertbiker]

right?!

[@nathanksimpson]

Every time you said "That was messy." felt a little more encouraged to just relax and do my best. If things are messy... just try again or fix them in the software. Thanks for not censoring your process! There are lots of people trying to do what you do on KZbin, but your humanity and authenticity is winsome. On top of this you are a very good teacher. Your pace and way of demonstrating and communicating is easy to watch and understand what you are doing.

[@Alcanmedia]

Thank you for this video, I am an absolute beginner in music production and I have this midi as my entry-level gear. I am really happy that now I can understand more of what my device does.

[@GotYourWallet]

It's refreshing to see a company push a firmware update for a product that's been out for a while.

[@haddonhousefilms]

The blue and pink lights in your background are very eye appealing. Thanks for this video. Been wanting one of these. But never pulled the trigger because of the glitches that are abundantly known.

[@stevenblock2514]

Have really liked your mini MIDI controller comparisons, your comment about 80% of viewers not being subscribed made me finally do it! FYI - I've ended up with both the Novation Launchkey Mini and the Arturia Minilab, your comparison video convinced me how each has a different focus for either Ableton or Arturia plugins integration, nice to have the right tool for the right use!

[@brazilleon]

I bought 4 x mini’s for my new MPC One and ended up keeping the Arturia, the other 3 went back to Amazon. What I love about this mini is the 16 infinity qnobs. I ran the global learning hack on on the MPC one and have all 16 fully mapped. It’s is so awesome.

[@sav7152]

Thanks for making this video. I just subscribed. Although this is 2 yrs old, I’m finally picking up the Arturia. And I really appreciated how you showed how to use it with Ableton Live as I’m not the best at it. I’m more of a guitar player than keyboards/MIDI player. I just came to the point where I wanted to created backing tracks that were my own. So this really gave me a head start. This product may be aging for regular keyboard/MIDI users, but for me it probably has everything I need and more. It was between this and the newer Akai. If I might make a video suggestion/request…How to navigate Ableton Live. I’ve messed around for hours with other videos, and to a degree I’ve had a little success. But I think you taught this very well and that you’d just kill it in a video of how to get the most out of Ableton. Just my 2 cents but then again I just subscribed to your channel. Maybe you already do!

[@declanprobably]

FYI you can turn the octave light flashing back on in MIDI Control Centre

[@Taetro]

Good to know!

[@Avant5]

ty for this FYI. I like the flashing so I can tell by the flash speed how many octaves I am up/down at a glance. I wouldn't update if that was not an available option

[@7775Kevin]

Cool thanks for mentioning that

[@mannyadewale8732]

I'm super glad you made this video, Taetro! I've been trying to decide which MIDI controller to start with and knowing that some of the issues with the Minilab have been solved is sweet! I think I'm going to pick it up in the near future! The beat was pretty sweet, I think it would be nice to see it grow on a stream!

Great job updating your followers with your take on the firmware update 👍 Having watched your videos on a collection of midi controllers I went ahead and bought the MiniLab mkII a couple months ago. So much fun! Keep the videos/workshops going on this awesome piece of kit 🙏

[@KelsiMelsiElsi]

Hi! I just subscribed. I just bought this a couple of hours ago as my first ever midi per high recommendation from a very experienced friend. I bought it after reading about it on Guitar Center's website, but took his word for it without looking up any reviews or watching any tutorials. I have to say that after finding videos like yours, I am SUPER pleased with my spur-of-the-moment purchase and cannot wait for it to get here!!! I am finally following my dreams of producing my own music after years of having an iMac and MacBook but just... not. Thank you for this content!

[@galilengnambapipten1315]

I ordered arturia mini mk2 because of your comparison and other videos. I’ll subscribe all of my channels to you just to show some support. Love all of your videos. Thanks for the info. Im from philippines.

[@hallucinogen4903]

came to your channel first time and subscribed after completing the video coz video was so helpful and interactive with the cool beat at the end i was focused on the video whole time.

[@pitsbrits]

I'm new on these things and im part of the 80%. Since i liked your content, subbed!

[@georgeaymanmusic]

hello Taetro ad pretty much everyone .. the frimware update does make the octave buttons light up and not blink as it used to do .. but you can make it blink like it used to do by going to [Midi control center --> device settings --> octave button blink (on)]

[@whoispante]

I was very close to buying a new midi keyboard but I'm glad I waited for the update to know the knobs have been fixed. It was driving me crazy!

[@vegardyrnes1793]

I bought an Arturia minilab MKII, because of you. :-D I just loved the first video I saw of you, doing a jam on that. Keep on giving inspiration! :-D Cheers

[@vanessa-kx3sl]

Assigning different colors to the pads was one of the first things I did after I got my Minilab MKII inverted. I don't get why they're claiming it's a new feature. edit: oh, I get it now! Basically if you had configured a pad to stay illuminated, the light would deactivate as soon as you pressed it. Now they stay illuminated even after you press them :) I remember being so disappointed over this haha. Great update!

[@craiglucas8097]

I dig the beat man. I appreciate you going into detail with this and the Launchkey Mini. I love the color options from Arturia but I think I prefer the 16 pads over 8. I am amazed that you aren't over 100k subscribers minimum. Keep it up man!

[@DarkShineMusic]

I’m so glad I found this video….Ive been tryna learn how to actually use my minilab [BLACK EDITON] thank you so much!!!!

[@rubix187]

I want to buy the Minilab Mk 2 but I’m scared Arturia will release a new version as soon as I do

[@TheDorit02]

Just bought one, I was thinking about that too, but still, didn't find anything about Mk3 releasing soon...

[@ghostlyman]

@@TheDorit02 I've been looking everywhere and haven't found anything either, but I'm still gonna hold off for a little bit just in case. The mk2 released 3 years after the mk1, and it's been almost 4 years since the mk2 now...

[@TheDorit02]

I really enjoy your vids. Everything is on point! From your reviews, opinions, editing, beats, & the perfect voice to listen to. I have been going crazy, trying to decide on my first midi controller. Midi I/O is a definite must have. I keep thinking of the Arturia, then the Novation, & even the Komplete M32 even though I know it doesn't have midi. Anyhow, I do think you should do something with this beat. Keep up the good work, & stay safe yo!

I just suscribed because you asked that much, but it's nice to know those functionalities are fixed. I'm decided, I'm going for the Arturia

[@huagrapo]

Great vid, I'm looking for something with endless encoders to pair with my Launchpad in Ableton, just to control my device parameters with my spare hand while I play. Obviously a Launchkey or Launch Control would be optimal *if* they had endless encoders, but alas they don't so I think the Minilab Mk2 looks like best substitute. I do have an M32, which has lovely endless encoders, but the Ableton integration is pretty meh, at least if you're like me and can't be bothered to map everything.

[@Esspppiia]

Great video. Awesome beat. What's up with that Nokia phone? Makes me want to start using one :)

[@armandpaulet3345]

just watching your video after just acquired my Minilab MK2. It wasn't so clear when I registered the product with Arturia whether or not it updated the firmware once installed the Midi Control Center because it has an upgrade button that seems to be active, indicating that I could perform an upgrade. However, it appeared with an error message when I tried to create a folder for saving the firmware! I later found that the firmware revision listed seems to be the latest otherwise that area would have shown a message for an upgrade to be performed. So I assume that version 1.1.2 is in fact the latest firmware. If it is the case then I had nothing to really do, except maybe just installing their MIDI Control Center which triggered the update? Anyway, the controls seem to work nicely with Korg Gadget 2 on my iPad. You mentioned that you would have liked the octave buttons to indicate any incrementation when pressed. In fact it is possible to have them blink for that particular result. I had noticed that setting in the Midi Control Center under the tab (upper right). Switched to ON will blink at a different speed whenever the octave is changed. When levelled the lights will switch off. Thanks, I have subscribed now.

I HAVE HAD A HARD TIME GETTING THE MINILAB TO MAP RIGHT WITH THE KNOBS IN ABELTONS INTERFACE BUT WITH THE NEW UPDATE FOR THE MINILAB THE MINILABS INTERFACE KNOBS MAP AND LABEL REVERB AND EVERYTHING. YOU SHOULD DO ANOTHER VIDEO SHOWING THAT FUNCTION. MY MINILAB KEYBOARD STILL DOES NOT MAP TO THE ABELTON INTERFACE BUT I LIKE SEEING IT USING IT WITH THE MINILAB INTERFACE BETTER.

Is there any way to customize the programming of the minilab with ableton? I mean being able to set what each knob does by default when using the ableton programming preset; I'd like to be able to cycle thru plugins on the selected track in the same way it allows to use a knob to cycle thru tracks, and overall get rid of the session programming since I only use the tracks' editor. I'd like it for example to recognize all 16 parameters of massive without having to assign midi controls so every track using a massive plugin can be tweaked using all 16 knobs. If there's any way please help me out.
