5.11.1.6049 Update Issues: Missing Samples and Inability to edit Split and Transpose data

Software Instruments Analog Lab
#1

I’ve just updated Analog Lab to version 5.11.1.6049 on both of my computers, and I’ve noticed two issues in both:

  1. Every Minifreak preset displays an error message for missing samples (Basic Waves.raw and KEY Malloctav.raw12b)

  2. I’m no longer able to edit the data in Transpose (if e.g. I want to shift up or down an octave) nor the data in Split (i.e. I can’t edit the split points any longer).

Is there any way to remove the update and revert to the previous version until these are solved in a future update?

NOTE: Both installs on both of my computers were working fine prior to the upgrade.

Hi @KnewBee. Welcome back.

My Analog Lab version 5.11.1.6049 do not have those issues it seems.

Have you tried to reinstall Analog Lab and MiniFreak V?

You can always download older versions of Arturias applications here:

It’s strange you have issues on two computers though,.
Are you on MAC? I’m on Windows.
Do you have the issue when using standalones?

Same issue here. After the update to 5.11.1.6049

Hi @Jela295. Welcome to the community.

Are you on MAC?
Are the issue in standalone mode or only in a DAW? If only in a DAW, then which DAW and which plugin format do you use?

Did you try what i suggested in my previous post.
EDIT_ Please read my next post too. EDIT END

If the issue persist, then i suggest you both contact Arturia support through your account.

Thank you @LBH for your reply.

To clarify a little, I don’t own MiniFreak V; I’m only using Analog Lab Pro with the MiniFreak presets, and I’m using Windows 11 Home.

I’ve just uninstalled and reinstalled Analog Lab Pro via the Arturia Software Center and I have the same outcome.

The experience is consistent whether I open ALP as a standalone, or as VST2 (.dll) or VST3 (…vst3) within my DAW (Cakewalk).

I’ve figured out a workaround for the Split / Transpose issues though. I can no longer type e.g. 1/2/3 or -1/-2-/-3 into the Transpose box, nor a note value into the Split box, but I can click and drag with the mouse to change the values. Annoying, but not the end of the world.

I’m torn between ‘downgrading’ ALP from 5.11.1.6049 to 5.10.7.5324 to see if that resolves things, or just putting up with it until a later patch is released.

Would I be losing much do you think? The release notes don’t really say much but the file size difference between the two is 1GB so I fear I may be throwing the baby out with the bathwater if I downgrade?

You are welcome @KnewBee.

That’s strange.

Only the latest version of Analog Lab support the latest plugins and upgrades.

I can suggest you try to clean Analog Labs Preferences through ASC.
Also try to delete the db.db3 database in your main preset folder, then restart Analog Lab and let it build up the database.

If that does’nt help, then please contact Arturia support through your account.

As said, then i don’t have the issues. I can set split point both ways too.

EDIT: I forgot. You say you don’t own a Minifreak V. But If you own MiniFreak. If you also don’t own Minifreak, then from where do you have the MiniFreak Presets. Do you own any?EDIT END

Thanks again for responding.

Regarding the folder preferences, this is set to default (e.g. C/Program Data/Arturia).

I’ve deleted the db.db3 file and it rebuilt it, but issue persists.

I only have Analog Lab Pro, Piano V3, Vox Continental V2 and Wuril V2. (I’m waiting for a sale before buying V Collection X).

My presets come from the free sound banks (e.g Synthetic Trap), which I’ve also tried deleting and reinstalling.

I’ll try support - thanks

I don’t think you can use those Minifreak presets in Analog Lab unless you own MiniFreak V. Are you saying you could that before the update?

#9

My understanding is that you can use any presets you like in Analog Lab, but you can’t edit them (only adjust the basic parameters).

The presets themselves still work; I just have to click ‘ignore’ on the error messages.

#10

Yes that’s true if you own them. You have Free presets for Minifreak V.

But feel free to ask Arturia support.

#11

I wasn’t aware you had to own the full synths to be able to play the presets - I thought that was the whole point of AL that you can demo the full suite?

I’ve got lots of sound packs, both free and paid, which use instruments I don’t own. It’s a good way to get started by as I say you can’t then edit them or reassign parameters etc - you’re stuck with the preset only.

I’ll check with support on the error message - thanks again for all your input, really appreciated.

#12

Yes. If you buy/ own soundpacks they will work without owning the full application.

I also think some older free soundpacks for some other applications work without owning the full applications. But i can’t tell for sure.

I have the 5.11.2.6235 and i have same issue. Uninstalling change nothing. Windows 11

#14

In order to remove the missing files from the the minifreak V, i have to install the demo from the arturia software center, then i uninstall it and the missing sample message is no more appearing

#15

Thank you - that worked for me too.

Do you also have the Split / Transpose issue?

#16

Unfortunately i do not have this problem. I use the analog lab with a Keylab mk3 and the transpose function is working fine. Also i still can go in the “explore” section to edit preset and adding second preset, split the keyboard by ajusting the orange/green bar lenght, straight up the keyboard at the bottom of the window.
