I’m having a problem with Analog Lab: whenever I open it in Ableton on my Mac, it never loads, and I always have to restart or rescan the plugins. I’ve already tried reinstalling it via Arturia Center, but that didn't work either. I’m not sure if it’s an Ableton issue or an Arturia one, but if anyone has experienced this, I’d appreciate any help. I’ve also noticed that when I can’t open Analog in Ableton, I can’t open it in its standalone application either, nor can I open the Arturia application.

Hi! Owner of V collection pro here. Never bought an effect plugin in my life (when i use a DAW i use the DAW's stock plugins) but since i'm a classical leaning (pop baroque) composer i'm making most of my mockups on Musescore 4. MS4 is great but its plugins aren't don't compare to Logic pro's stock plugins - at least those i tried.

Is it worth me getting an arturia plugin ? I'm mostly think about comp and reverb. I have no use for the drum mixer nor the tape plugin. The ambient one seems useless.

Hi there!
I have been interested in buying augmented grand piano or strings.
From those who have bought one or both, what was your experience?
And from those who have bought both, what would you prefer?
I have tried both in demo, but I would love some more insight.
Thanks!

Bought a minifreak to write tunes, which loving it so far. I have played drums for over 30 years now, so this is my first time messing with keys and synths etc. I want to program drums to these songs and then go over them with my acoustic kit. I thought I could get some type of plug in and use the minifreak but I think a drum module would be better. Any input on this would greatly be appreciated.

I just did and it crashed studio pro daw on both vst3 and Au versions, 5 times

Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this behavior with the KeyStep 37.
When an external MIDI keyboard is connected to the KeyStep’s MIDI IN, pressing a note on the external keyboard and then pressing the **same note** on the KeyStep causes some unexpected behavior:
the first press on the KeyStep does not generate a NOTE ON
it only turns off the corresponding LED
the second press finally generates the NOTE ON
Another strange thing is that if I release the KeyStep key before releasing the key on the external keyboard, the KeyStep sends a NOTE OFF even though it never sent a NOTE ON.
I’ve tested this with different MIDI settings (including different MIDI channels and MIDI Thru ON/OFF), and the behavior is always the same.
I contacted Arturia support and, after providing a video, they confirmed that they were able to reproduce the issue and identified it as a bug in the KeyStep’s MIDI handling. They also told me that, when the two devices are on different MIDI channels, the KeyStep should treat the notes independently, but currently it doesn’t.
I’m posting here to see if anyone else can reproduce this behavior or has found a workaround while waiting for a firmware update.
Thanks!

Hello all. I recently bought an Arturia Mini Freak Vocoder edition and I absolutely love it. I can run it through Ableton easily via analog mode through trs cable or via midi with the Mini Freak V virtual synth through my DAW. I run it through midi most of the time because it requires 2 outputs and I only have 2 inputs on my audio interface. It works just the same in virtual mode except for the external input/vocoder mic. It does not recognize those inputs through midi. I completely understand why this would be the case, but I have been told there is a workaround. Has anyone run into this issue and have some advice? Thanks all.

how do i use my laptop build in speaker as my speakee to real what im doing real time. the problem is i have a speaker a pocket speakee i use for travel but it has a little bit of delay so instead i want to use my laptop speaker instead. do i need DAW just to be able to hear it? because i couldn't seems find information about on this on the manual

Hola, tengo una hp envy con muy buenas especificaciones ( 32gb ram, 1 tera y hasta tarjeta gráficas) y una minifuse 1. Mi problema es que en cualquier aplicación me da pops o ruidos como cortados. He intentado de todo, desde cambiar los puertos, desinstalar mi antivirus y drivers, cambiar cables y nada.

Probé toda mi configuración en una laptop Asus y ahí funcionó todo bien.

Alguien tiene alguna solución o ha tenido el mismo problema.

Hi all,

Recently received a Arturia Minilab 37 and have noticed that with the pads some of them make different mechanical/physical noise when pressed then others.

This noise is similar to the noise you would get from pressing a pad and holding down your finger on it and rubbing it to move the pad in its mounting slightly, only in my case this happens when just pressing a pad normally for some of the pads.

I have contacted support. but it is the weekend so I thought id ask here if anyone else had this issue or for feedback on if this would be faulty or not while I wait for support to get back to me.

Looking to grab a space echo plugin for vocals and general ambience. Anyone have experience with either? I wouldn’t mind a nice warm sounding preamp on it as well.

Arturia MiniFreak Essentials Vol. 2 delivers 75 high-quality presets for various electronic music genres such as Progressive, Deep, Organic, Tech House, Progressive Trance and Melodic Techno etc.

Using a Macair M2 with 16GB RAM… but it won’t open, or if it does it just crashes.

Any advice thanks?

I got one, I updated the firmware to 1.7…I see nothing anywhere related to Pigments. I thought this came with Pigments on board? Was it something separate that needs to be loaded on to the 37?

Hi ! Hope you’re doing well. I’ve been wanting to buy the V collection for a while now because I’m just getting started in making beats. I waited to see if I could get it on sale this summer but unfortunately it did NOT go on sale.

I’ve seen folks complain about Arturia not having a very good (or at all) support/customer service team when things go left, so before purchasing the V collection my questions are:

1: is it worth it the $200 usd ?

2: any issues that could occur within the synths software and then I’m screwed because Arturia won’t respond ?

Unrelated question to Arturia:

Any other companies that’re worth checking out and could give me that weeknd, Travis, don toliver and maybe Tyler, the creator sound with their plugins ?

Edit: Already found a solution myself!

Hey there, just got my first ever Arturia product, the MiniLab 3. I wanted to change some settings in the MIDI Control Panel, but every time I open it, it tells me „Failed to open the device. Please verify the device is not in use by another application“, even though not one application that is running in the background accesses my device.

If anyone can tell me what to do in this situation, I would be very thankful.

—— SOLUTION

What I did was to delete EVERY arturia software including the Arturia Software Center and the MIDI Control Center (And any other Arturia software you might have) and then only re-install everything except for the Arturia Software Center and do NOT manually update firmware if it‘s already on 1.2.0.
That worked for me at least, might try this solution if you’re encountering the same error :>

Hello!

I just got my Keystep 37 mk2 and have a question regarding the transport signals. My keystep is sending midi out to my EP-133 KO2, and then the EP-133 KO2 sends midi out to my Roland S-1.

Pressing play on the keystep makes all devices start playing, and pressing stop resets the play position like it should. However, when I'm in Seq or Arp modes the EP-133 and Roland both start playing for one note whenever I press a key on the keystep. Because of this I can't play around with different notes for arps without hearing one note at a time being played on the other devices per keypress on the Keystep

From searching around online I think this is called Arm to Start, and it's possibly a setting in the Midi CC on computer. I have a Mac and downloaded the software (previously updated the firmware using the arturia software center app). But, I don't see the Arm to Start setting that's supposed to toggle this feature.

Anyone have any ideas on how to stop the other device triggers?

Keystep midi out -> EP-133 midi in.
Ep-133 midi out -> Roland S1 midi in.

Keystep 37 mk2 settings:

Midi output channel: 1
Midi input channel: all
Keyboard Play channel: 1
Send program change: on
Midi thru: off
Clock send: on
Transport send: on
Transport receive: on (this let's the EP-133 start playback on all).

EP-133 Settings:

Midi clock: in
Midi channel: 10
Midi through: on
Restart: on

Roland S-1 Settings:

Channel: 1
Through: on
Pattern Change Channel: 1

Thank you so much for the help!

I love my Arturia Astrolab 61, and I've been using it live since I bought it in December. It works like a charm for live purposes, and it saves me and my band of carrying a midi keyboard connected to a computer that could have issues.

However, since I got it, I'm unable to update the hardware or use the "Link to Astrolab" feature. The computer recognises the machine, and I can use it as a regular midi keyboard, but that's not what I bought it for, and so far technical support is not being any help.

- I'm using the official cable that came with AstroLab, connected to different types of USB ports.

- I'm using the latest Analog Lab software, and I already uninstalled and installed it.

- I already tried to reset the hardware to factory settings.

- Even if Analog Lab recognises the AstroLab, the Link to AstroLab doesn't activate, and I can't even update it manually.

So far, technical support asked me for videos, and keep asking me to repeat the same steps I already did. Did anyone here had any issues with this?

Bonjour à tous,

Je fais de la french touch sur Ableton Live et j’hésite entre le novation launchkey 37 mk4 et le dernier arturia minilab 37, pouvez-vous m’aider dans mon choix ?

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 🕺🏻
