"Sorry for the inconvenience but this is a known issue and its related to how Reaper handles the MIDI Ports. I wrote to Arturia and this is their reply: I would like to look at the screen on the keyboard instead of always the computer screen to see the selection in Analog lab 4. This works with Ableton 10 lite that came with keyboard. It will not display the intruments/presets for selection. The issue I have so far that does not work is the display on the keyboard. Most of basics(transport controls, knobs, faders for ananlog 4, octave buttons, etc) that I have tried work within Reaper. I recently purchased a Keylab Essential 61 for the purpose of working with Reaper and also renewed my licence to 6.0. I've found it's safest to always record audio output on a second channel in addition to the MIDI channel. One thing I don't like about Arturia's control method is that if you change a preset mid-song, AL doesn't use standard MIDI Program Change, so it won't be noted in the midi recording values. The crashes seem to occur most frequently when changing presets. In those cases, I have to "offline" the FX in Reaper and then then turn it back on. I can see that the keyboard is sending midi, but there's no sound from the plugin - even when using the built-in virtual keyboard. The working integration was more important for me, though.Īnalog Lab 4 seems pretty stable in Reaper 5.9x, but I do occasionally have problems with the individual instruments in Arturia's V Collection when used as VST's. I use the quotes there because the original Keylab was a pretty substantial instrument with a metal case and a nice key bed - the Essential is more like a plastic toy by comparison. I "updated" to the Essential and all seems to be working as advertised so far. than I ever wanted to know, only to decide it wasn't going to work. I spent about a year searching forums and learning more about MIDI, MCU, OSC, etc. Sometimes you could browse preset names when the unit was first turned on, but usually as soon as you clicked anything on the controller, the names would vanish and you'd be browsing blind.
#Arturia v collection 5 reaper update#
I had the original, old Keylab 49 (MK I) and had the same issues you're seeing - the controls did change the mapped parameters, but Reaper never sent the info back to the Keylab so its screen wouldn't update to show the preset names. I'm wondering if there was a change in Reaper 6 that made them non-compatible? I'm going to be very cautious about upgrading until I find out.
#Arturia v collection 5 reaper 64 Bit#
I have the Essential 49 and it's able to change/view preset names from the Analog Lab 4 VST3 in Reaper 5.9x, 64 bit (Windows 10).
