MCC Has No Keystroke Assignment

Utilities MIDI Control Center
#1

Hi All,

Not being able to assign keystroke commands to Arturia keyboards is a real downer. For example “Ctrl+Z” to Pad 1 in user mode or “Shift+1” to Pad 2. Implementing keystrokes wouldn’t require too much work and would open a world of new possibilities for Arturia controller keyboards. Novation already offer keystroke customization.

Arturia users should be able to assign anything we want to those pads such as opening / closing folders, deleting/ adding tracks , copy/cut /paste. (Its a controller after all )The possibilities would be literally endless all from a single touch on those pads or faders.

PLEASE implement this feature Arturia.

I second this. I have been trying in vain to find a way to be able to switch presets in softsynths (like Surge XT) using the KeyLab Essential, but since Surge XT actually has keyboard shortcuts for previous and next preset etc, if I could just map some of the buttons on the MIDI controller to do this (the left and right buttons or Next and Previous being “duh” options) then this would be a solved problem.

Hello.

We do have thinked about it, and the reason why it’s not our priority is because it is already doable with a lot of third parties software.

7 years ago, I was already using the sustain pedal of my MiniLab mkII to control Discord push-to-talk. There isn’t any blocker here.

I understand that it could be comfortable to have it natively, but we have other features with more request that cannot be achieve in any way.

This feature is in our backlog tho, so this might be done at some point.

Cheers !

I will have to have a look at that link, it looks really interesting!

But yea, the dream would of course be native support, thanks for the quick answer though, and I understand :slight_smile:

Edit: Oof, it is not free.
