So the only more or less convenient solution should be device+DAW specific. But in all cases, that is far from real Mackie functionality.Īlso note that Mackie has display, while most 'compatible' devices with keyboards do not have any indication (LEDs under some buttons at most). Is that really useful in practice? Transport works, volume can be controlled by faders (unlike Mackie there are not touch sensitive nor motorized, but still), pan by knobs and sometimes solo/mute/rec arm by buttons (on devices which have sufficient number of buttons). Most DAWs are 'supported' by simulation of some Mackie controls.

and also I am not a native speaker, thus not familiar with common short phrases. Again: I would be really happy for some good advices here.īe warned: As I already mentioned: I am a complete beginner with Cakewalk, MIDI, Routing etc.

I tried out some settings before but achieved only. from somebody who can explain me how to set up the device by myself. from somebody who managed it to integrade his own Arturia Keylab 88 Essential device in CbB or (maybe even better for general understanding)

Long story short: I would really apprecciate your help here, either In general: nearly nothing rally works without setting it up the right way. Google, Youtube and using the search function here).

So far, I am able to use it to play and 'hear' my virtual instruments such as Albion One, Analog Lab etc.īut I really would like to set it up properly to integrate it as good as possible in the DAW - precisely because Arturia in fact praised the possibility to integrate the Keylab pretty well in any DAW. Also I ran into some strange issues with it, most mentionable that my modulation wheel isnt really useful because the slightest movement will cause a jump from modulation '0' to '127' and I have really no clue why (even after asking Dr. To improve the quality of my content I decided to buy a MIDI-Keyboard - the Arturia Keylab 88 Essential. With your help (and some youtube-videos) I managed to learn the basics of using CbB and really like working with it. Some weeks ago, I decided to take my first steps on the long road to my own little homestudio.
