Title: Arturia isn't recognized on my DAW (FL Studio) and PC (Windows) as a USB Device
Post by: sonreirjmusic on April 20, 2021, 07:48:05 am

I recently just bought a brand new Arturia KeyLab Essential 49. I have registered all licenses and downloaded all necessary software but I still couldn't connect my MIDI to FL. Can someone help me figure out the answer for this? Thank you!

I have a custom midi script (originally for mkII) that I ported over to Essential keyboard to work. It's located here: https://github.com/rjuang/flstudio-arturia-keylab-mk2

And video for setup:

And features that I've implemented into the keyboard script in this video playlist:

Hope that helps!

I have a KeyLab Mk II 61 and had issues using Reaper as my DAW.

Questions that tech support will ask you:

1. Have you used the MIDI Control Center app (MCC) to manage your keyboard?
2. Have you updated your firmware via the MCC?
3. Have you selected the correct DAW in the MCC?

If you have done all of the above, you may need to reach out to tech support and specify the issue as the keyboard not correctly programming the FL DAW mapping. Arturia said Reaper connectivity is an issue they are going to address via a future firmware update, but they had to provide a manual configuration setting for me to use Reaper. It's possible you have the same issue with FL as I did with Reaper.

You can't have keylab and the DAW connected at the same time. Turn off MIDI on the DAW / quit it before opening MCC.
