Need HELP!!!
I’ve had these two connected before but can never remember how I did it and would love to understand these instruments better. I’ve been using the CV to trigger the synth but it’s always hit or miss so I want to actually learn what I’m doing and how these devices work together via MIDI. If anyone can help me out or show me to some videos that will get me going I’d be super appreciative. All I want to do is jam out but it’s never that easy so I’m saying now’s the time we make it easy. The less friction between me and the sounds the better. Thanks in advance for your time and energy. It’s going to a good cause.

Also if you’ve any pointers on the rest of my rig. I have a mixer, sampler, newer computer and bigger interface in the works/still deciding. ✌🏼&❤️

The studio has gone through many iterations trying to find a workflow that I jived with while learning all this stuff for the first time. To give you background I bought my first instrument the Arturia Drumbrute and fell in love. That was in December 2025. So I’m brand spanking new at this. I have a general idea of it all and how it goes together and what not but if theres anyone that could shed some light or better help me become fluent in this you’d be doing the lord’s work 🕺🏻

hey all, hopefully this is a simple one for someone out there, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Inside Analog Lab V, I linked to my AstroLab and browsed to a preset that came preloaded on the keyboard (Turquoise Hexa Keys in the artist pack Boards Of Tribute). Preset plays fine on AstroLab and in Analog Lab while linked.

I clicked "Save on Analog Lab" and saved it and unlinked the AstroLab. Now if I try to play the preset from Analog Lab with the AstroLab unlinked, I get a prompt to locate a missing sample (Hexagon Keys.wav). Tried deleting locally and recopying from the AstroLab, but no luck.

Anyone experience this or have any idea how to resolve or manually grab the sample off the AstroLab? Thanks

Hi i have a certain problem with Logic Pro for iPad. I plugged my Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 into my iPad Air M3, the notes i play on the keyboard are okay but in terms of control buttons such as play, record etc. there are issues, i’ve bound buttons to functions, while the assigned commands are working it registers their trigger as a note in the midi sequence, it’s really annoying since during tracking it can create a take in place i don’t wan it to, and well it is rather irritating to manually edit midi region to remove these notes, also most of the time the sound that gets played is really high and since i have really sensitive ears it makes it quite hurtful (lowkey ironic lmao). i would be very thankful if someone was to give me a solution to my problem.

Is there a way to fully control how many voices are played on each note? I have Poly Unison mode turned on, but this forces a spread of the voices with each new note played, whereas I want to be able to say (for example) play 3 voices per note no matter what.

This is done very simply on the DeepMind, so I’m surprised it’s not straightforward here.

KeyLab49 and Mac user here. I'm sure I'm just shouting into the echo chamber, but an Arturia requested firmware update bricked my KL49 and after back and forth with Arturia support their recommendation is to borrow a Windows computer and do the firmware update with it.

So stoopid!

Any users have working advice for me on this? The Keylab says it is in "Bootloader" mode, but it does not see a connected device. Has anybody found a factory reset on a KL49? Yes, I have tried restarting with the octave buttons pressed. Still nothing. I have tried removing the device from the OS's "Audio MIDI Setup" and adding a new device.

WAH! I do like this OG controller despite being over ten years old.

I have noticed lately a sound quality issue with the Minifuse 2 DAC, especially using a newly acquired Strymon Cloudburst.
 
I have checked and tried everything, reinstalling Minifuse ASIO drivers, changing cables (balanced, unbalanced), I even put a DI box at -20db after the pedal, but the audio going through the DAC sounds dull, it lacks clarity and harmonic range, but it doesn’t clip.
 
If I turn the front knob to Direct Audio the sound is perfect.
 
I was really puzzled by this behavior so I did a similar experiment just with the synth (a Roland S-1) and no effect pedal, and the dullness is still there, though it is way more subtle.
 
Has anyone ever experienced this issue on the Minifuse 2?

Got the free version that came with my minilab 3 and it crashes after like 5 to 10 min in flstudio

Freezes up then says fl studio not responding

Any help would be appreciated

Im on windows 11 fl studio 25

I have a ton of presets saved in Analog Lab Pro, but the Master volumes are different on a bunch of them. How can I adjust the MV for all my presets and save them so when I go back they're not all over the place?

has anybody tried to use the astrolab 37 with another midi controller?

More specifically, I am thinking of getting an AL37 to pair it with a KL essential 61 MK3 and my Arturia presets (V collection and pigments)

-the idea would be to have the KL control the main polyphonic part and use the AL's keyboard for a 2nd part that is well suited for smaller keys (like leads or basses)

-can you transfer any V collection preset you own to the AL. (especially the augmented series) or are there any limitations

-what about the Polyphony limits (I've heard a lot of complaints, Is it really a deal breaker?)

-How easy is it to customize parameter mappings? how many parameters can you control?

Edit: been in touch with Arturia Support, i have to send it in for repair & service. Faulty voice card on voice number 6.

Hey all, I just bought a Polybrute 12 used in excellent condition from Reverb. I noticed that when playing ANY preset or patch in polyphonic mode, there's a rhythmic splash of static noise every 3rd key hit or so. Whether im playing chords or holding chords for an arp/sequence, it's just a random literal splash of noise/static and im not sure if I can fix it or if it's a hardware issue. I tried a factory reset - didn't work. I tried a full VCO and filter calibration - failed to recalibrate it. I tried a debug mode per Google ai, didnt get anywhere with it. It's as if audio is escaping from the noise oscillator every 3rd quarter note beat and just splashing through the audio mains. Anybody have any tips or advice? Anybody ran into this issue before?

Seems to only happen with Arturia Plugins (Pigments, Piano V3) when using Mainstage.

As soon as I drag a knob by clicking and moving the mouse, the cursor disappears (which is fine). After releasing the click the cursor does not reappear. It becomes invisible (however I can still control and click everything).

When I move the mouse out of the Plugin-Window, it reappears.

I think it has something to do with the fact that in Plugins like Arturia's the cursor stays at the current position despite dragging.

We all have opinions, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and looks are subjective....

But this thing looks like a box of Tide (Ultra LOL) laundry detergent. Charlie brown and the Great Pumpkin. Austria and France shack up and have a baby, the worlds ugliest orange motorcycle KTM meet Arturia keyboard controller. Hideous LOL

Yamaha tried this with the seqtrack, the subdued orange and 80's computer beige case meet up for a German Kinder chocolate bar. It was almost passable. (I bought a black Seqtrak so I would not attract any city road workers with orange vests)

I have a red Akai Key 37 that screams obnoxious red pretty loudly but nothing says Danger Will Robinson road work ahead like orange vest.

Does Arturia give you a knob so you can turn it down? (I am not talking about sound volume. LOL)

I love the Arturia EFX Collection. I just wish they’d take a page from the AstroLab and make both a rack-mountable version and a Eurorack version of the EFX Collection.

It would need three stereo input pairs (that could also be used as mono inputs) and three stereo outputs. Add a few assignable knobs for hands-on control, plus modulation inputs for the Eurorack version.

I'll take 1 19-inch version and two for my modular. Don't make me beg, Arturia. Take my money.

Hi everyone, I’m on my second KeyStep pro since I purchased in May 2026. I ordered from the Arturia reverb shop. On the first one the pitch knob froze up and the tabs broke on the knob. It took a while to get a response from the Arturia website for a warranty claim. I got a replacement and sent back the old one. Last night at band practice the tempo jobs seized and did the same thing, completely seized up. I just contacted Arturia to report it. Now I’m worried about using this item I’m just glad they have both broke while under warranty.

I use it about once or twice a week for band practice and at home. I’m not a sound engineer or someone that uses it full time for work. I just jam with it a couple hours a week in the studio.

I saw a couple other posts on here about this issue. I’m not sure how common it is. I just need something reliable to use and I’ve been learning the KeyStep pro already so I want to stick with it in my live rig but I hope that it can be reliable.

Not as the default behavior, just as a configurable option. It seems like such an obvious feature for endless encoders.

Hello everyone, I really enjoy NIN industrial and gritty sounds lately and wanted to get myself a good synthesizer/digital/MIDI piano whatever it is. What’s the best suggestion to start from scratch ?

Recently the Minilab 37 caught my attention because Minilab3 is not capable for 2 hands play. Thanks you the help!

Greetings fellow synth boffins. I was thinking of buying an Astrolab purely for playing Pigments live. I already have a minifreak and will be using it live at a festival later this month but I want to be able to use Pigments in a live setting as it's my favourite and we don't want to rely on a laptop in a live setting. I love to use the round Robin function for samples and I'm curious if anyone has experience with astrolab who can tell me the pros and cons. I'm not too worried about all the analog clones so would want to delete them and eeplace with just mu own Pigments patches...
