I have a project doing live electronic music sets with a friend, and every time we get together I have problems with the MicroFreak, only with the MicroFreak. The keyboard and all those touch controls freeze and it gets stuck on a note, it won’t let me record or change settings, etc. I get around it by using a MIDI keyboard to control it, but I still have issues anyway, like it not syncing properly, or the sound getting stuck on a note. It’s really frustating. Does anyone know how to fix this? I’d heard it might be a grounding issue and that powering it via USB would be better. I tried that, and I want to believe it helped a bit, but it still works like shit.

It's new, used only few times a very well treated.

Hey all

My son loves his volca sample and we're slowly figuring out how to use its many features together. My son is blind and still quite young, so I looked for a MIDI-keyboard, because the touch-keyboard of the volca is a bit harder to use for him (he basically has to remember the distance of the buttons, because he can't feel them, which can be frustrating especially when he wants to use the memory funtion).

Now I was a bit naive - and honestly I'm a total noob concerning this stuff, as I'm learning this stuff with him - and I thought I could just plug in an Arturia Keystep with a MIDI-cable and then he could use the keys of the Keystep instead of the touch-keys of his volca sample.

But thats not at all how it seems to work. Right now, when I press any key on the keystep, it'll play the last selected key of the volca. I can change that by pressing shift and then another key (on the Keystep), which will set all keys on the Keystep to the selected new, corresponding volca key. What I'd like it to do is basically set each key of the Keystep to the corresponding key of the volca, without having to press shift (and without it then setting ALL keys to that key).

I tried the different settings on the back of the Keystep, but that didn't change anything. I tried the different MIDI settings on the volca sample (holding function when powering up), but the only thing I achieved was changing it so it didn't work at all.

I thought I might have to set up the Keystep properly and thus downloaded the MIDI control center. I connected the Keystep, but couldn't figure out what setting I'd have to change, as nothing seemed to change what I wanted.

So my question: Is it even possible to use the Arturia Keystep this way? I.e. that I can press the most left key on it and that'll input the most left key of the sample and so on? Or isn't that what it's intended for?
And what do I have to do? Do I have to buy a mod? I've also read about different softwares for the sampler, might that be what I need?

Please help, I'm growing frustrated after multiple hours of trial and error!

I heard Arturia keyboards come with Ableton Live Lite and Analog Lab V for free. If any of you own an Arturia keyboard and don't want the cut-down versions of the software, would you mind passing them down to me?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

I'm considering to buy the Keylab Mk 3 61. Should I buy it now or wait for the MK 4 to be announced/ released? What are your thoughts on this?

I'm about to purchase an Arturia Minifreak as my first physical synthesizer, and I have some questions to get some opinions about.

For some background, I've been playing piano since I was in 3rd grade (I'm 22 now). My friends and I have started jamming together recently, but I've just been using my regular keyboard. The minifreak just seems like the perfect introduction. I'm mainly interested in polyphony, which initially drew me to it, and I have questions about accessories or gear people may think I'll benefit from.

The things I believe I need are: an amp, an interface (for my computer and for the amp), cables, and my friend recommended I get a looper pedal for jams. I also need a bag or a travel case. Is there anything you realized you may have benefited from having earlier, or am I just getting ahead of myself? Besides my regular keyboards, this is my first "big" musical purchase, and I want to cover all of my bases. I'd appreciate any second opinions. tyyy

Hello, i am wondering how to get the td-3 to work with the drumbrute ?

My setup is currently the 2 and an amp.

Routing the td 3 midi in to drumbrute midi out then the output from the drumbrute to the amp.

The drumbrute can make the td3 play but it doesnt play the sound.

Hi all,

Just stumbling my way through learning a lot of different stuff. I am trying to play a melody at 90bpm. The rest of my song is at 90bpm. I like how the "Arp Simplicity" preset in Analog Lab sounds at 120bpm, however, when I try to record this on my 90bpm song, the arpeggiator slows down about 25% to 90bpm.

How do I make this not happen?

Hopefully answering this easy-ass question is the toughest thing any of y'all have to do today. Cheers!

I play my keys sitting. I have 2 x stands, presently have cobalt8x on bottom, Arturia keylab 49 on tob a little behind and tilted. I would like to have a keystep 37 on top of that but the stands Ive seen would have the top one too high. Would appreciate any info, outof the box thinking especially appreciated. Tia
