KeyLab mk3 - firmware update 1.1.1

i was expecting so much more from Arturia for an update after one year,

its just working now as it should since it’s out… after more than a year

no improvement,

still not as customizable as the previous version sadly, its a shame for an evolution,
this controler deserve much more, does Arturia is proud of this product and the evolution after a year?

But… There is a 1.2.0 version as well ?
Quite a lot of important fixes. Actually, I personally didn’t expect more as I just wanted the keyboard to work properly :wink:

Considering the (sustain) problems this update is supposed to fix, this is a huge update! Although it should’ve come months earlier as it made the Keylab an unreliable piece of kit.
They might want to compensate the early adopters with a free or heavily discounted plugin for the inconveniences…
