What does the MIDI implementation manual say?
Maybe it would be a good idea to ask Arturia support?
Found this
-
1. Open the MIDI Control Center (MCC):
Download and install the MCC from Arturia’s website and connect your KeyLab to your computer via USB.
-
2. Configure Presets in the MCC:
-
Navigate to the User Templates section in the MCC.
-
Program the knobs and faders for your desired preset.
-
Store this configuration to one of the available user memories (e.g., Memory 1).
-
-
3. Map the User Memory to a Program Change message:
-
In the MCC, find the section that allows you to assign a MIDI Channel and a Program Change number to the user memory you just saved.
-
Select the desired MIDI channel and the PC number that corresponds to the user memory you want to recall.
-
-
4. Recall the Preset in your DAW:
-
In your DAW, create a new MIDI track and set its input to your KeyLab and the correct MIDI channel.
-
Send a Program Change message with the designated number (e.g., 0, 1, 2, etc.) to the KeyLab.
-
The KeyLab will receive the message, load the corresponding user memory, and recall the preset within your VST or plugin
Why do you need to switch presets on the KeyLab?
As @pianopaul mentioned, you can change many (much more than 10) presets on the Mkll’s via the MIDI Control Center software. This is the controller I use. It’s very modifiable.
18 songs r programmed within GP5…in both keylabs i programmed 5 user presets each which i like to be switched via midi 2 always have the correct keylab preset with the song…i obviously could do that by hand - but i really prefer the midi switching…:-))
there`s no MIDI implementation for the arturia keylab afaik…
arturia support said it`s not possible…:-((
unfortunately MCC is not a practical solution in this case….
It sounds like you want to let the controllers of the KeyLab pass through to the plugins directly, and don’t do widget mappings/host automation?!
I highly recommend to have only one (user) preset on the KeyLab, use the rig Manager and use widgets in GP! Everything can be done in GP!
Jens is a long time user, so I think he is aware of rig manager and widget etc.
There must be another reason why he needs to recall presets on the Keylab.
yep
