I had the Arturia KeyLab Mkii 61 for a minute a few weeks ago before returning it, which is a step up model from the Essentials line, and basically word is that the encoders are poor quality and inconsistent between the knobs. I can't comment on the assignment of the transport controls at this time, but re the KeyLab's endless encoders and values jumping around like that: The infinite nature of the knobs are not the cause of that. Probably because these are 'infinite?' knobs where it doesnt have a stop.

Like knob 1 will just go from extreme left to +2 while panning. while it does recognize knob and fader movements, the controller is acting a little funny.

The light of the Rewind button stays lit. Also tried ACT learn mode, where you press whatever parameter you want to control, and then press the physical button that you want to assign to it, no luck.Īlso while it does recognize knob and fader movements, the controller is acting a little funny. I tried it with and without pressing the shift learn button. Is this to supplant keyboard shortcuts? In any case I tried to customize them like the faders with no progress. I admit I'm a bit confused as it seems that row of controls is in 'Shift Learn' section. However the transport controls are not taking. (After going on the keyboard and selecting Map Select/DAW) I can see that Cakewalk is receiving information from the knobs and faders, as I was able to customize a few of them. I got to the part about setting up utilities. I followed along and I made some progress. Have you gotten that device working in Cakewalk on at least a basic level such as triggering a soft synth? So long as you're seeing your device listed in your midi devices list (it's being recognized), that video should be a great help.
