Hi there, I have Cubase 12 Pro and Arturia KeyLab Essential 88 MIDI Controller. Unfortunately, it does not get recognized in MIDI Remote window. Do I need to set up my MIDI Controller in MCU or HUI protocol? does it even matter? any ideas?

thank you in advance  
Dalibor

Hi @dkalna, sorry we made a mistake in the script. Please download this exported and (hopefully) fixed script:  
[Arturia\_KeyLab\_Essential\_88.midiremote](https://forums.steinberg.net/uploads/short-url/2d1dcAkBX7DrWbPjU47nL5W6S0q.midiremote) (5.8 KB)

And then use the “Import Script” function in the MIDI Remote Manager.

I can set up all my knobs, faders, and pads using MIDI Remote Control but the TRANSPORT buttons don’t register when I press them. They DO work in my previous DAW (Ableton)

Is there a script yet for the Arturia KeyLab 88 mkII?

Downloaded the new script and I have the same problem - no transport although it appears to be mapped properly.

Oh i’m also waiting for the script for MKII - without integration into cubase 12 the board is of little use

Hi,

I offered many times here on the forum already, I would adapt the KeyLab Essential script to the mkII. But I don’t own the device, so I would need some cooperation. I would need to get the specification. What MIDI Messages do the controls send?
