Hearing a lot of bad things about the MiniLab...

[BMoore]

Hi jgoblin,

Minilab's encoders are defectives, whatever knob, mode, or software you use;

I work at Arturia, and I can testify first-hand that this isn't true.

When using latest firmware (rev 2.1.0.2) and Analog Lab's latest update (1.0.5), knobs do work properly (even within Ableton Live)

Both updates are freely available here: http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/pro ... urces.html

What's could be confusing is that MiniLab powers up into relative mode, ready for use with Analog Lab software, but not with some other software.
In such case, simply load in memory #1 (Shift+Pad 1) and MiniLab enters absolute mode.

Regards,
Robert @ Arturia

I can verify that using the latest Lab (1.0.5) and firmware and Keylab 61 firmware(1.29) does NOT fix the encoder problem. The encoders are unusable. They simply randomly choose direction and rate of change.

Sounds like the absolute/relative toggle as Robert explained.
