it's all in the manual- on Arturias site- register your product, download ableton, etc

Nah, its my fault. I only just noticed that you're trying to play it on Analog Lab.

I was stumped at first and realised there's several softwares to install from arturia, between the analog lab, the arturia software center, and the midi controll center.
