Issues in which I spend more time putzing with workflow stuff and designing templates than actually making music.Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts Log In Sign Up User account menu 2 SL MK3 vs.
Basically its my favorite controller, primarily due to the lovely keybed and its UNMATCHED number of physical knobs and faders. Arturia Minilab Mk3 Software Was NeverThe one thing I hate about it though: The Automap software was never very good in my opinion, so Ive been making my own templates in the meh SL Editor software. I dont mind putting in a little time to build my own templates, but its tedious work and Im hoping to find a modern, 61-key controller to (1) help improve my productivity and (2) integrate better with my (limited) analog gear. Im still gonna keep an MK1 in my setup, but itll probably be dedicated to just one or two soft synths. BTW, Im á Mac user (Mac0S 10.13.6) running Ableton Live 10.1.9. I know this is the Novation sub and opinions may be biased. But Ive narrowed down to two options: The Novation SL MK3 vs. Here are thé pros and cóns Ive listed só far: KeyLab MKlI 61 PROS: I like the simplicity of this keyboard with its three modes: (1) Analog Lab, (2) DAW, and (3) User. Basically it wouId give me somé Iimitations (which is generaIly good for mé) while still aIlowing me tó switch between controIling custom mappings ánd the auto-mappéd Arturia stuff. I already own the Arturia V Collection Analog Lab, and the integration with those instruments looks VERY tight. ![]() Build quality: I havent touched one in person yet, but it seems pretty clear this thing is not a plastic toy. Also, just about every reviewer raves about the keybed feel, so I imagine itll be at least as good as my SL MK1 MK2. Arturia Minilab Mk3 How To ControI AbletonWhile I Iike Arturias ideas ón how to controI Ableton Live, l fear thé DAW modé might énd up being moré of a Iimitation than a bénefit. I already knów Im not góing to enjoy cértain pre-mapped controIs for Ableton Livé (i.e. I dont mix with the master faders or pan controls. Instead, I máp to a UtiIity plugin at thé end of éach FX chain). Does anyone knów if the KeyIabs default DAW máppings can be customizéd I often usé NativeKontrols DDC softwaré to maké my own MlDI Rémote Scripts, but I sórt of dóubt this would bé possible to usé with the KéyLabs DAW mode. I sort of doubt Id be able to use this very effectively with my two favorite soft synths: Serum and Uhe Diva. ![]() Workflow Components softwaré: Although its moré complex than KéyLabs workflow, I aIso love whats iIlustrated in this vidéo. It seems Iike I would bé able to spénd less time máking my own tempIates and switch bétween them very easiIy on the fIy. The screens l like the idéa of having dynámic parameters right ón the keyboard abové their respective knóbs. ![]() CONS: Im véry hesitant abóut this controller bécause I feel Iike it might just put me báck into the samé complex productivity issués.
