Hey all,
I’m quite happy with my KeyLab 61 MK3 (coming from KeYlab 61 MK2, sellling that for a NI Komplete Kontrol MK2 and now finally coming back to Arturia with the KL3).
The overall build quality, available connections and - at least the advertised - Ableton integration is nothing short of perfect (for me).
But:
There still seem to be quite some bugs related to the Ableton integration.
For example quite often the display of the keyboard isn’t updated, so it no longer reflects what I’m controlling in Ableton.
This is even true without using the Arturia mode but just the DAW mode.
Curious thow, I still can control everything in Ableton - even switching from Device to Mixer changes the function of the sliders and knobs - but the state doesn’t change on the display.
Usually I have both the KL3 and Ableton Move (in controller mode) connected to the DAW. The issue also occurs when Move is not connected.
I created a short video to showcase this:
(in case you’re wondering what the thing to the left of the screen is: this is my very first ‘drum machine’ )
I am already in contact with Arturia Support.
My intention is not to complain about the system but rather to find out if theis is a problem only I am having or wether other Ableton users are experiencing the same and perhaps can provide additional information that will help Arturia to solve the issue as soon as possible.
Another issue is that as of now it is only possible to use the Arturia mode with the first Arturia VST loaded (maybe more than one instances), but not multiple different VSTs.
This is not what I’m talking about here. Arturia is already working on this (as I was told by the support).
