Title: Arturia Keylab 88 MKII - REAPER Integration flawed?
Post by: mabbels on December 08, 2020, 11:50:34 am

Hi there!

I just got my brand new Keylab 88 and am facing some bothering issues with the (native?) REAPER integration. Most of the mappings are doing absolutely fine, but I´m having problems with:

1.) The Mixer Panel:
While faders are doing just great, the PAN knobs seem to just work in a binary fashion, switching between 100% panned left and middle/balanced. There´s no in between and no right. It gets even stranger when working with groups/track folders. Let´s say that we have 3 tracks, where track 2 and 3 are children of track 1. When moving the pan knob for track 1, we are switching between 100% panned left and middle/balanced. When I move the pan knob of track 2, I can pan track 2 absolutely fine, but the track 1 knob moves as well (switching between left and middle again). If I move the pan knob of track 3, track 3 pans as you would expect it to, but now track 2 jumps between left and middle at the same time.

2.) Switching through tracks by using Select 1, Select 2 etc:
When using the buttons for selecting which track has the focus, it is handling it like a "multi-select" (like having CNTRL pressed when clicking) instead of each one being mutually exclusive. I have to click the Select button again to de-select a prior selected track before clicking the next one.

3.) Big Knob Scrolling:
The big know is intended to basically just scroll through the track window. But if I scroll by using the big knob, it scrolls as intended AND at the same time sets markers with every millisecond

4.) DAW mapping - REAPER vs REASON:
When long clicking the DAW button, I sometimes don´t find myself in the "REAPER Mode" anymore, but in the "REASON" mode (while reason normally doesn´t even appear within the list). By going one step back and forth, REASON becomes REAPER again and I´m saving it...again.

This is my setup (according to the manual):

• REAPER is selected as my DAW on the Arturia itself and I´ve set up the Arturia as recommended within reaper
• Control/OSC/Web: Mackie Control Univesal (dev15,13) with Arturia - Keylab mk88 - DAW selected as the MIDI Input and the MIDI Output
• MIDI Devices: Arturia Keylab MKII DAW and Arturia Keylab MKII MIDI selected as Enabled & Control.

I would be super grateful for any help! :(
