You can download Midi Control Center from the product and download pages like here: https://www.arturia.com/products/hybrid-synths/keylab-mkii/resources
I suggest you install it, and read about it's usage in your manuals.

Thanks, LBH,

What I meant was by upgrading to Catainla 10.15.4 and Upgrading to Logic !0.5

are there been any issues with this setup?

Using Arturia Software in general and in Logic?
I hope this makes better sense

Catalina + Logic user here. Welcome to the forum.
You shouldn't encounter any compatibility issues, however I found the latest version of Logic to be about as stable as a one legged drunk man peddling a unicycle with a bent wheel. I have purposefully rolled back to 10.4.8 (from a Time Machine backup) and I am waiting for Apple to give us the 10.5.1 'stability and improvements' update, which I feel must be inevitable because 10.5 is so laughably unstable I'm wondering if any beta testing was conducted at all.

Ok the Keyboard works great and feels great
let start with something small

I am in the User Mode since I don't mind if I manually assign midi to parameters that one of the main reason for getting a midi keyboard controller so I would have full control over any paramter even a  few at a time
and I am  trying to manually move the first fader on the first selected track within Logic

Iam not understands how to use the Midi Control Center to effectively map midi to mkii for to use in Logic

I'm not on MAC and don't know anything about using Logic. Also i don't have a Arturia controller.

But as it look like MajorFubar has abandoned the entered ship, then i can tell, that you can find how to add the Keylab MK2 setup for DAW mode in Logic here: https://www.arturia.com/faq/keylabmkii/keylab-mkii-tips-tricks

I don't know, if you can get to control your DAWs volume faders in other ways with a controller. That depend on Logics possibilities.

Hi,

I'm running macOS 10.15.5, Logic 10.5 and MainStage 3.4.4 with the current versions of KeyLab mkII, AnalogLab 4 and the V-Collection with a Scarlett 6i8 3rd generation.

I have NO issues!

Before I upgraded end of 2019 I made sure that all components (and also other plugins...)  are supporting macOS 10.15 - I think that was the most important step in the beginning of 10.15.

HTH
