It features deep integration for all major DAWs, including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and FL Studio, and can be used as a standard MIDI controller for any software that accepts MIDI data.
When connected via USB, the unit is bus-powered. An external power supply is only necessary if you are using the unit as a standalone MIDI controller without a computer.
Yes, through the MIDI Control Center software, you can customize the assignment of every fader and encoder to suit your specific workflow.
The keybed quality is consistent across the MK3 line, maintaining the same high standard of playability and responsiveness expected from Arturia controllers.
Firmware updates are managed through the Arturia Software Center (ASC), which automatically detects your device and prompts you to install the latest version.
Ensure the device is connected directly to a USB port rather than a hub and verify that the correct MIDI controller profile is selected in your DAW settings.
Check that the MIDI channel on the keyboard matches the input channel on your software instrument or hardware device.
Verify that the specific plugin or virtual instrument is set to receive aftertouch data, as this feature must be enabled within the software patch.
To begin, connect the controller via USB to your computer; most DAWs will automatically recognize the device as a control surface. For hardware-only setups, use the MIDI output port to communicate with external synthesizers. To maintain the Ultra skin, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe away dust and fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the specialized orange finish. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to protect the sensitive internal electronics.
