I have an Arturia Keylab 88 Essential midi controller which is not able to play the Pigments 3.7.1.2684 standalone player.
Note: I am able to use the Keylab midi keyboard to play the Analog Lab V standalone player and pigments AU plugin in all of my DAWs, just not the Pigments standalone player.
OS: Mac, Mojave 10.14.6

Hi,
Can you please post a screenshot of your Audio MIDI settings in Pigments Standalone mode. It's in the main menu (where you also shall set your audio settings), and not in the sidepanel you show.
I assume you also have set this settings in Analog Lab standalone mode to it working.

Ok, that's confusing. Why are there two different menus to configure midi? A UX designer should review Arturia's apps.

Shall i understand it work now?
You still don't show the Audio MIDI settings in the main menu. The main menu is at the top left of the application.
The sidepanel settings you show is for the applications inside midi configuration/ midi mapping usage.
They sidepanel settings does'nt tell the applications to use a controller that's connected to the computer.
Have you opened the manual at all? Maybe it would be less confusing then.
How did you get Analog Lab standalone to work?
If it still does'nt work, then i can't help, if you don't answer questions asked.

Thanks for the clue. Yes I opened the manual, this is just a bad design. It looks like developers on two different teams didn't talk to each other and created redundant menu systems for settings and midi instead of consolidating them into simplified UI. It's not like Pigments is a legacy app.
For example, Native Instruments, U-HE, Specratsonics, Modartt, and every other DAW and plugin developer has one preferences menu to setup midi.
