Hi there,
There is a rather nasty bug in the Microlab firmware where it sends center pitchbend as "64" not "0".
The default pitchbend should be 0, but after touching the pitchbend strip microlab will then return to 64 instead, yielding a slight detuning of the synth receiving it.
This has been confirmed as a software bug and reproduced by Arturia support in April this year, but repeated pushing for a fixed firmware just results in replies saying, sorry the engineers are busy.
The details of the bug are: it seems that both the MSB and LSB of the pitchbend are always sent with the same value, e.g. 0xe0, 0x35, 0x35 or 0xe0, 0x40, 0x40 or 0xe0, 0x7f, 0x7f.
Is MicroLab an abandonded product?

This was eventually fixed by Arturia with firmware 1.0.8.1242 (released 2022-01-18).
