The Minilab uses Midi channels to send messages that Cubase reads to adjust the shortcuts you set. More between the line that it might conflict other plug-ins. They have made this all possible within Ableton Live which it was flagged with, so if it isn’t some software inability within cubase I don’t see why this would not workĮven though using the pads as MIDI notes as you stated in an earlier comment, it would be nice to have more options with maybe having one memory preset to use for beat pad, and another memory setting for controlling something Well after looking more into it, I would say it’s not like you shouldn’t use it. This was maybe a bit long, but I’d love to hear why this wouldn’t work to script into the standard setting. but this so far is just hypothetical because I have not tested it due to a lack of experience with Javascript. having a red record button blink when recording, which would be possible if the program started a script sequence to change the color turning it off and on. The only thing I haven’t checked out is the possibility to trigger RGB effects for the pads as e.g. if disabling this script the pads lights up and works fine. I did a soft test on it in the surface editor and it did map them easily and not setting off any MIDI asked about the backlights turning off, the only thing I can see that made it do that was because the included script for the Arturia did not turn them on and overwrites your settings in MCC. If you want to step this up further, the minilab have also 7 usable memory banks, and before stopping me there because that go way over the 127 CC usable… you can also assign each of them to up to 16 Channels. that’s 37 CC buttons that can be used on the controllers on one memory bank. (at least on the Minilab MKii) giving you giving you the 16 knobs + 2 of them being down click, and 2 more if you press the shift button (20 total CC signals on the buttons alone) then 16 pads.

I can see that using them in their standard settings with Arturia’s MIDI Control Center (MCC) would be hard due to the preset is listing them as MIDI notes, but the thing that makes me find this statement confusing is that on the MCC you can remap them to send to CC. Hi finding it hard to let this topic die because I really wished to be able to use the pads on the minilab as an interface controller, could you elaborate on why the pads are a bad idea to use as buttons?
