Is there a way now to set the keyboard midi channel when building a preset user?

#4

Still not, but it is on the list of requested features.

That said, it is much faster to change MIDI channels on Part1/Part2 now.
In the updated LAYER/SPLIT screen in User Mode, you can select Part 1 or Part2 with the contextual buttons 6 or 7 as the “active Part” and the MIDI button + key 1-16 sets the MIDI channel for the active Part.

Completely useless to control multiple external gear to me, and it would mean 2 midi channel and both always playing together…

I just need a midi channel for the keyboard like a midi keyboard user mode that cost 5 time less the price… or like the MK2 and MK1

Arturia should said that its faders and knobs user mode, why to make users mode for a keyboard if you cannot set the keyboard in the user mode? but the faders and knobs; that dont make any sense
so you control other synth that you cannot play while playing another one? explain me the workflow Arturia…

that’s the only feature that this keyboard need to shine, all the other stuff are not a priority to me, just make it become a master midi keyboard Arturia please…

pads light with aftertouch still not working?
why first firmware had it? it was nice and better than a screen, was working on 1.2.0

since 3 firmware knobs still have a different speed in daw mode (logic) then in Arturia mode what make the user experience horrible, was working on 1.2.0

still the first midi keyboard on the market since 30 years that dont have midi channel for the keyboard in user modes, as a midi keyboard thats bad as a master midi keyboard, its not a master midi keyboard…
for a good workflow im still using the 1.2.0 firmware with sustain from another midi keyboard and a launchpad pro to select 4 midi output channel for external gear… no comment

But you spend time to change the little bar for plugin mixer… ahahah why Arturia?
In more i prefered it before to be honest, screen was clearer with the bar up, but personal taste

Im completely lost with your choices Arturia, that’s look paranormal to me
so disappointed…
