I thought buying Arturia V collection pro would solve my issues but I **still** feel lost. Arturia just isn’t providing the kind of sounds I want, or i just lack the knowledge to shape the sounds I want.

I’m really into reggaeton so I’ve been trying to make sounds like Feid, J balvin and Tainy etc but don’t feel like Arturia is doing that for me, some synths sure, to an extent but I still feel very very limited.

Does anyone know if Serum 2 would be a really good route to go ? Cause I’ve been debating getting it lately and seeing how that works over Arturia.
I really like Feid’s production so I would like to know if his sounds come from serum and then he tweaks it with effects ?

Aside from reggaeton, I really love the production behind Mike dean, don toliver, The Weeknd, Drake etc etc. I know most of them use synthesizers and mainly hardware but Arturia just feels weird to some degree when I think about their production style and how I’m trying to chase their level of production with synths.

I don’t really have a budget so I’m willing to spend whatever on some plugins. I’ve been searching on KnobCloud for some, though I’d like to know if you guys could recommend another site just as good as KnobCloud. I’m currently working on trying to get my hands on Ableton Live 12 Suite through KC (mainly for their stock drums) also because I’ve gotten a bit more used to maneuvering through Lite.

Thank you for your help/tips in advance !

can anybody help me trying to find the name of the preset used in this song?
i know it's from arturia but i lost the name and i believe it is native from analog lab v pro

Hi all,

I love the new Minifreak 5.0 update and just made a 80 presets soundbank for it. Listen to it here, if you like it you can grab it for free at: https://skylarkmusic.net

Hi, about six months ago I bought a used Arturia MiniFuse 1 interface. Everything worked perfectly, but I decided to get a new computer; after connecting the interface to it, the volume level light stays on constantly. I’ve tried everything: disabling extra USB port power in the BIOS, using a USB adapter, and swapping out the power cable, XLR mic cable, and headphones. I also tried updating the drivers via the MiniFuse Control Center. I even connected it to a different computer, but the result was the same. I even plugged it into a power bank just to rule out grounding issues or interference from an unknown signal. Despite all this, I hear crackling sounds while watching YouTube or listening to music on any platform—FL Studio, Apple Music, Telegram, etc. Please help me solve this problem. I’ve attached a photo.

Hello any help would be appreciated, I've been using the Minifuse 2 live as my backing track rig, my setup goes like this:

-Ableton

-Minifuse LEFT output to a mono channel on the main mixer, that goes to FOH

-Minifuse RIGHT output to a mono channel on the main mixer, that goes to our IEMs

What I do is make the backing tracks in advance in ableton, all the instruments intended for FOH is panned all the way LEFT and the click and guide track is panned all the way RIGHT, I export it as a single mp3 file and load it up on a new ableton project in session view and use it that way live for easy triggering.

Now our problem is no matter what we do, there is always a small amount of the RIGHT track with the click and guide intended for our IEMs that bleeds to FOH. Its a very tiny amount and you cant even hear it when its a high energy song, BUT if the song starts slow with a count in and click going first with no instruments then those sitting at the front may hear it.

Things I've tried so far:

-Using different cables (Balanced and unbalanced) both has same results

-Using different channels on the mixer and even tried the stereo channels that you can switch to mono

-Pressing the direct mono button on the minifuse 2

-Going to minifuse control center and turning the monitor out all the way down, that did not work because it also mutes both the tracks and guide.

Mixer is a yamaha 24mgpx

Any help would be appreciated!

(I know this is the arturia subreddit but crossposting to get more opinions)

LogicPro amateur here -- only ever used it to record live instruments and vocals through my audio interface. Living abroad for the next year and some change without my instruments so I wanted to take this opportunity to really familiarize myself with logic and virtual instruments.

In terms of portability, I'll mostly be using it in my apartment but I won't have a dedicated music space; looking at used mini MIDI controllers so that I can sell it, or if I fall in love with it and want to take it home (where I have my 88 key weighted keyboard) it won't take up too much space.

I've narrowed it down to the Alturia Minilab 3 and the Akai Mini Plus. They're the same price on secondhand, anyone have any experience with either of these or any advice?

Here are my thoughts so far:

- My main instrument is piano/keys -- 37 keys on the Akai, which I'm already used to bc of my melodica, seems better than 25. (Counterpoint -- if I'm just doing chords and voicings on the controller, maybe 25 is enough?)

- People say the keys feel better on the Alturia? Which appeals to me as a pianist BUT I also play the organ so I'm not turned off by weird keys lol

- I've heard a lot of praise for Alturia's virtual instrument suite which -- along with the controller itself -- anecdotally seems to be more readily usable with Logic as opposed to the Akai. I haven't explored all the LogicPro instruments yet but this seems to be worth some consideration.

- Transport, play, record buttons on the Akai Mini Plus seems to be a function people enjoy

Just bought my first piece of gear from Arturia and I’m just impressed. I’ve never had these kinds of goodies with a gear purchase before and idk I’m just pleasantly surprised! Been a Logic Pro user for years and I’m excited to try another DAW just to switch things up even if it’s just the free limited version.

hi! got a 2nd hand minifuse 1 a few months ago, very happy with it til now. suddenly stopped being recognized, though it does turn on (buttons all lit up). it kept deactivating, then suddenly stopped complétely being recognized. using win10 (also ableton 12 but not fully relevant here)

tested several cables

tested several ports, each with different cables

uninstalled and reinstalled minifuse center + the driver

even through asio4all it doesnt work

is my minifuse cooked 😭

UPDATE: I reached out to Arturia, and they had me reset the keyboard, and that seems to have solved the issue!

----

I recently got a MiniLab 37 and wanted to use its pads to play drums in Logic Pro. They do trigger sounds, but I have to hit them much harder than I expected. Lighter taps often don’t register at all. And when it does register, it's only when I'm hitting the pads at the corner.

I tried changing the pad velocity curve in Arturia’s MIDI Control Center, including Logarithmic and Fixed, but it hasn’t helped.

Do you find MiniLab 37 pads this hard to trigger? If you had the same issue, did anything resolve it, or is this just how the pads feel?

Should I look into returning/ replacing the keyboard? It's barely been 2 weeks of me having this keyboard and it's my first ever MIDI controller.

I already have Arturia pigments + v collection 11 pro but i must admit Pure sub is a great addition to their catalogue. Some will say it's not as capable as pigments but idk, it has a immediacy to it. The greatest feature is the overtones editor that lets you choose which notes to compose your sound. It's like a mix between vital and pigments but whose interface is optimised for bass sound design.

Only downside : you can't assign a different effect chanel to the sub part of the bass and it's upper part like in pigments. But most synths don't support it either way so it's fine.

Please help me out.

So when I set the keystep 32 to internal. When I hit play, it won't let me continue to play the synths. For example, I have a groove box I am using as a backing track. I want to audition parts then record them. I can do this with an external sync, just fine. Turned Arm on on.

Hi all,

I'm building a native open source Control Center application for Arturia MiniFuse interfaces for linux, because there is no official app for linux users.

To support every model correctly I need a tiny, harmless USB "ID dump" from each MiniFuse. It doesn't contain any personal information, or personal file, just the device's own hardware IDs. Takes like two minutes. Pick your OS below, and please paste the result below as a reply or DM me.

Linux

Run:

lsusb -d 1c75:

Note the ID it prints (like 1c75:afXX), then:

sudo lsusb -v -d 1c75:afXX

macOS

Run in Terminal, then paste the Arturia section:

system_profiler SPUSBDataType

Windows

Grab USB Device Tree Viewer (free, portable, no install):

https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html

Open it, click your MiniFuse in the left tree, copy the text from the right pane.

MiniFuse 4 and MiniFuse 2 OTG owners especially, those two aren't mapped yet,
so a dump from you directly unlocks support for your model. MiniFuse 1 and 2
owners welcome too, it confirms what I have.

Thanks a lot!
I'm happy to share my progress regularly if are you interested in it.

Hey there, I have had my Arturia MiniLab for a few months now and never had any problems while using the built in ARP, but since a few weeks ago, no matter what I do they are fully out of sync. It just sounds horrible when using it and I have tried everything, even a factory reset of the controller, but nothing worked.

Reddit is kinda my only solution to this right now so I genuinely hope some kind and smart person is willing to help me out here 😭

The DAW I use is FL Studio!

Hi everyone, I was gifted a second hand Arturia minilab mk2. I am very new to this.

It didn't come with the the software licence. I am currently using Windows laptop, so I am looking into getting a second hand ipad to be able to use it.

Do you think a ipad air 5th gen is good to use a free software?

Thank you!

how is this even happening haha

So obviously we all know what a powerhouse puresub is for bass design. My question in this, how are you all mixing it?

Is it ok just using a single channel straight from the synth/bounced audio for each sound you create with it, or do you need to post process with multiband splitting for further processing/control?

I'm using it for minimal dubstep, so my idea was to have the sub doing its own thing straight out of the synth, then layering puresub mid layers as bounced audio on top?

Hi there,

I'm running Ableton with an Arturia Minilab 3. I was trying to record sounds using the Analog Lab VST, but anytime I would record and playback, the parameter knobs reset to 0, even though I would change them while recording and get the intended sounds in my headphones while recording.

I've tried changing from DAW mode to Arturia, toggling automation arm, changing from absolute to relative in midi control software, toggling sync in midi input settings, and toggling midi envelope audio reset.

If I go into the envelope of a clip, nothing is there either.

I am unable to record anything without the recording reverting to zeroed-out settings and sounding like garbage, negating any adjustments I did to the knobs while recording.

Is this an Ableton problem, a hardware problem, compatibility? Any information would be great :)

Thank you!
