So... Does anyone have working KeyLab 49 knobs and faders with Arturia plugins inside Bitwig 2.1 ?

Mine acts like a simple MIDI keyboard. The knobs and faders do not do anything in Analog Lab or Prophet V. The keyboard just displays "unassigned".

It's the stupid Arturia plugins.. there's no visual feedback (the knobs and faders don't move in the plugin GUI) inside Bitwig, but it's actually working otherwise.
For anyone else that comes across the same "issue", remember to switch to Bank 2 for controlling Arturia plugins and Bank 1 for native control of Bitwig devices.

On a side note, so many plugins crash in Bitwig 2.1.1, its not even funny!

Zebra 2 crashes the controller at times if I turned a controller knob while the plugin was in focus. ("KeyLab 49 has crashed" - never seen anything like that before on Ableton or Studio One!).

U-he Diva just just crashes or makes weird clipping noises.

I'm more than likely to find more in the dates to come.

I forgot to mention all my plugins are 64 bit and up to date. None of these ever crashed or had issues in Studio One 3 (even the latest v3.5).

I've reported it to Arturia. I don't have Mini V, so can't check with it. Can you confirm if it works with the Analog Lab GUI? For me, it works fine in standalone mode, but inside Bitwig, the GUI doesn't update with controller movements.

Thanks Kev. I'm in conversation with both Bitwig support and Arturia about this. I'll update this thread accordingly.

There is updates to the KeyLab scripts in 2.2, maybe that will help you.
