Arturia Analog Experience (The Laboratory)

[A Flock Of Budgies]

I'd like to know why there is no power supply in the box I recently got from Sweetwater. How am I supposed to use this on its own without a power supply?

It works on buspower from your USB cable. No power supply needed

If you want to use ANALOG EXPERIENCE as stand-alone via MIDI-In/Out you have to by a power-supply! Read the Manual Chapter 7.2.2 at page 78 for more informations....

That's why the keyboard has an USB connection to get bus power AND serve as a MIDI in/out.

Don't use an USB cable which is too long because the display might not get enough power to show full contrast level.

BE CAREFUL if you use an external power supply!   The manual and the box all say 12vdc..but it's actually 6vdc as indicated on the back of the controller ( at least on mine it is ).  I purchased a variable supply from Hosa and set it for 6vdc and it work fine.

Thanks for the advice!

Yes on the Laboratory there is written that it is 6V 0,5A. They should really revise the manual, 'cause it's a little bit confussing in some manner.
Do you know something about the Player? On the backside of the Player it's indicated as 12V 0,5A.


Thanks in advance

Manuel

BTW: I don't use my controller in this manner but if I would have to, it would be nice to know what is wrong and what is right!

Not sure what you mean by 'backside of the Player'   On mine - both the box and the manual had 12vdc..keyboard said 6...

AE 25 The Player is the smallest Analog Experience keyboard controller.
And yes, on the AE 49 The Laboratory it's inicated as 6V 0,5A, but on the AE 25 The Player not. Next to the DC IN is writen 12V 0,5A, but I guess that it's also 6V 0,5A.

12vdc equates to 6vac, could this be why the manual says 6 and the keyboard days 12?

What? 

[stuey]

Perhaps you should write today off as a bad day.

You could be a little more sincere

Google VAC and VDC, that's volts alternative current and volts direct current.
That's -2 karma for you today

LOL! HAHA!  

Who cares?

What days your keyboard again?  

PS: My keyboard days nothing, because it has never learned to day anything! 

[stuey]

Hmmmm

Clearly you're not here for constructive advise sharing

Off course not!

What do you think why I was writing the Solutions!, months before you joined this forum?  

Sorry but you really making me laugh!

I know a lot users who appreciate my comments and posts.... This is just your personal opinion and has nothing to do with Arturia or music!

PS: Please send PMs next time!

BTW: You misunderstood something here! This is just a fault or mistake, because it's not indicated right on the box, in the manual and on older gears.
