HI!I´m gonna show you guys how I did my command assignation for the pads and knobs of the Minilab MKII inside logic to control common things like: Metronome on/off, save, markers, cycle and virtually any global command inside Logic. There´s no much info about it, no tuts and the manual of the Minilab doesn´t say anything substancial covering this topic and of course Logic Pro X is not the most friendly (in some cases) for assigning MIDI controllers so, this is how I made it:Materials1.- DAW CONTROL: An app made by Vitaly Tarasuk. Very nice and very functional app that I used a lot before Apple decided to launch the Native Logic Control. Inside Logic this app appears as a Mackie Control compatible surface.2.- MIDI MONITOR: A very simple app that allows you to monitor input and output MIDI messages3.- ARTURIA MIDI CONTROL CENTER: Standard app for programing the functions and behavior of the pads and knobs of the MinilabProcedure1.- With the Minilab properly connected and all the apps running and ready, open Logic Pro and go to Logic Menu/Control Surfaces/Controller assign.2.- Click on the (+) sign below the Zone column to make a new Zone. Name it Minilab MKII3.- Find the DAW Control assignation zone, depending the functions that you want there are many zones and inside the zones are different commands controlling different things, but in this example we want to control the SAVE assignation so let´s find it!4.- Locate the CONTROL SURFACE:LOGIC CONTROL zone, inside this zone are a few controls assigned to it´s respective parameters, one of them is SAVE.5. Locate and Click on it to display the assignation route.6.- Copy (cmd+c) the SAVE control and paste it inside the Minilab MKII zone that was created before.7.- So far so good.

Click on it and change the input message route to: Minilab MKII and change the MIDI Channel to 10 (In my case that´s what I like)8.- Go to Arturia MIDI control center and assign one of the pads with the exact same MIDI note, in this case looks like this: 90 50 Lo7. Below logic translate as NOTE CH1, G#4 Lo7 but I´m gonna change it to channel 10.9.- Use MIDI MONITOR app to understand better the MIDI data that is send and received, it will help you to understand better the controller assignation if you have doubts inside the MIDI control center, specially with knobs and values.10.- That´s all! Basically I´ve copied all the Logic control assignments to my Minilab MKII Zone and tweaked to CH10 and assign those inside the MIDI control center and save them to a memory slot in the Minilab. You can do it with any command you like just changing the command form the menu.Things that I want to control and still no figure it out how to do it:On/off all the plugins inside a channel strip with one button. What software needed for wigo gps reviews. That would be cool!Hope you find this useful!

Looking to get a dedicated keyboard for my iPad and I'm kinda intrigued by the MiniLab due to all those endless encoders, pads, and ribbon strips. Anyone use it by mapping it to iMini or other synths? Do you find that the extra controls help your workflow with more fun/efficiency?I'm kinda torn because I think it might be fun to complement the iPad experience with immediate tactile knobs and such but then again the touchscreen is already pretty immediate, and I was hoping to get at least 3 octaves. This would have been ideal:It's either this or iRig Keys and I'd rather not give any money to IK Multimedia unless they stop with the annoying pop-up ads for fully purchased apps and greedy in-app pricing. I have it and I like it. The encoders and pads are assignable to almost whatever you want. I bought it because I needed a small, inexpensive velocity sensitive keyboard with velocity sensitive pads that could change midi channels on the fly and this fit the bill perfectly.

I mostly needed it for the pads though because BM2 doesn't have that pad area velocity like Cubasis has.I haven't delved much into using the encoders yet but I'm confident that when I get a spare moment and I want to assign them to something, they'll will work the way I want them to. It does feel a bit cheap but for 100 bucks I kinda expected that. Otherwise, works great and I'm glad to have it in my ever shrinking arsenal of music things.

Yeah, seems like the extra controls might be fun to add to the mix especially now that Beatmaker 2.5 will have MIDI learning directly in the sampler and every automatable control. Also I like that Arturia was smart enough to let you quickly switch between relative and absolute modes for the encoders for different use cases.I noticed that it comes with overlays for different mapping templates but I guess that's just for the desktop Analog Lab software? I wonder if they already have a mapped template for iMini. I had one to use with my ipad and I sent it back after 2 days. I don't know if it was just a dodgy one though. It arrived with one side unglued (easy fix) but then after sorting out the firmware and knob settings via pc I found the knobs being very steppy, much steppier then akai mpk mini and axiom 32 that I also own (will eventually sell some and keep one but still not sure which takes the biscuit). So at this point I went on the web to find a solution and found masses of people complaining about arturia's stuff so I moved no further.

Since then I've tried novation launchkey mini in the shop and I liked it but would prefer 32keys and the keyboard doesn't feel too solid compared to others. The pads feel lush though.

It also has a few extra buttons for sending control midi messages. I think I'll get that eventually unless they come up with something new.

Picked up the Minilab MK2 today. I'm very impressed. The keys are the same size (or very very very close in size) to my Keystep. That puts it in a different league than the keys on the MPK and Launchkey Mini (two controllers I bought and returned).
