Function keys on Minilab MkII disconnects MIDI
Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2020 7:38 am
Hi, and thanks for an amazing app!
I'm running the Producer with an Arturia Minilab MkII (firmware v1.1) to it (using a Xiami Mi 9t with Android 10). It works great and I've managed to create a lot of dedicated controls with it (even though I haven't got the faders to act right yet, but I've only tried the "relative" function as of yet).
The issue arises when I try to use some of the function keys on the Arturia ('shift', 'oct-', 'oct+' and 'pad-change'). Because the Arturia does indeed change the octave, or the midi-channel, or the preset for the whole controller, but the moment I press one of those function keys (doesn't matter which one), Producer stops receiving MIDI-messages from the controller.
I know that the Minilab isn't officially supported on Android, but if I change, lets say, the octave once. And then open the Producer app, then I can use the controller with the new octave. I tried searching this forum for a similar situation but couldn't find anything like it.
(and as a side note, do you have any plans to add a mapping for "Set scene: next scene" and "Set scene: previous scene"? it'd be sweet for midi controllers that doesn't have that many buttons to use that mapping)
Thanks!
