Newbie here.
I tried following this Youtube tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rw19vrqijI&t=182s&ab_channel=Noisegate) on getting started with Arturia MiniLab MkII. I think I did everything right for most of the tutorial. I pressed Shift+Pad8 to control Ableton Live 10 with this midicontroller. I was able to control most things (e.g. volume, delay, reverb etc), but I am having trouble playing and recording clips using the midicontroller.
Problem 1: I can't seem to use knob 16 to scroll up and down the clips
Problem 2: As shown in the tutorial (around 3:23), pads represent the different channels and clips with lights. But my controller doesn't have any lights (even when I put in clips). When I press the pads, they just make sounds similar to the piano keys.
Is this normal? Do I need to code all the pads and stuff manually to get it to work? I thought Shift+Pad8 loads in a pre-built Ableton Live interface on the controller...
I would appreciate any help. I'm really excited to make music with this controller but these problems are making it a bit challenging.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Did you also set up your controller correct in Ableton Lives Preferences?

Hi,
Yes I believe I did. I'm able to control most things on Ableton Live after Shift+Pad8, except for the clips.

You have to be sure, that you have set Minilab MKII up as a Control Surface for Ableton Live in Lives preferences.
Perhaps this video is more clear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNmfXu6WkiA
Be sure you do everything likme in the video.
If this does'nt help, then i can't help either. I don't have Minilab and don't use Ableton Live.
