This video was extremely helpful! I got an Arturia Minilab MkII MIDI and was completely lost on how to use/ set it up with FL Studio. Thanks to you, I'll be able to learn much quicker! Keep up the great work :)
Right! was frustrating seeing people on YT making live performances with their loops one at a time adding them, and not being able to figure it out. Once one is past these initial conundrums, the fun begins, and creativity flourishes.
This is a lifesaver man. I almost gave up on my minilab mk II cause it was having trouble connecting to the FPC plugin in FL Studio. Def Recommend for anyone who has a minilab mk II
I just bought this keyboard and i was disappointed that it’s not really supported for FL but now I bought your template and it’s perfect. Now I need to learn the knobs
we all have our issues. I get frustrated at different things. Just as irrelevant to my own life and happiness. Watch Man Vs Bee in Netflix for a subtle understanding of what i mean
Must say i was astonished at what i got included as features when my Arturia Minilab MK2 arrived. when i was a kid you would need at least 30,000 to 100,000 dollars to set up the same set of capabilities, as we didn't even have pc's and cubase, so needed mixers, separate instruments, korgs, steinbergs, moogs, microphones (multiple), sound damped room, effect pedals, monitors, PA systems, amps, cables galore, and the orchestral instruments and other instruments in sound engineering software such as Logic X would mean a million dollars in physical manufactured trumpets, violins, drums, cellos... these days for around a hundred to 200 bucks you got yourself something better than Sony Entertainment had in the 1970s
I've been using FLStudio since it was Fruity Loops, and these templates made setting up my MiniLab about as easy as it could be. Thanks for your time and energy Al Be. For the time you saved me making my own, I'm hype to be using the templates you made. Not a plug, just excited this exists and happy to support. Some trouble in mpc mode at first but after double checking midi settings it works perfect. Thanks again.
My MiniLab has been collecting dust for a year. I finally decided to wipe it off and use it again and your pre-configured templates saved me so much time. Thank you! Looking out for your knob template video next
Glad you found it useful - good news, the knob video is coming out tomorrow morning and you can make use of it with the template you already have (or no template at all).
Holy s***. Thank you so much for this video and your expertise. You just unlocked the abilities my 2 year old Minilab MK2 to the max. Before i was mostly just using it as a Melody tester and occasionally for a few generators i used the link to controller knob. But this is just on another level. Thank you so much.
This video convinced me to buy the minilab mk2 above anything else I was looking at. Great job on the explanation and templates. They are super helpful. Thank you Al !
AMAZING video! Just ordered the minilab as my first midi controller keyboard and your video has been incredibly informative. So psyched to try out the minilab with the Al Be template 🙏
Man I just got into producing and got a MK2 from my girlfriend for Christmas (love you baby) and your video saved my friggin life. I have been avoiding using this and trying to find a good way to use the MK2 in my workflow. Thank you so much!!
i bought this pack yesterday and I absolutely love it. youve been a great help for stepping up my producing game, i hope I will enjoy this new production workflow with the MPC-style because I really look up to dilla and pete rock so I can follow their steps. cheers!
@@thisisalbe Hey, I'm so glad you answered! I was wondering if I could use your templates in a free FL Studio 20 version. Was about to buy'em and that question came along. Fruity Loops is so expensive when its converted to BR money I'm still saving up for it (had to buy the midi first ofc)
Just bought the keyboard today! had to get the Template you made because my workflow is horrible! hope this will help, and I'm excited to try it out! gave you a sub as well!
Hey Al Be, much respect from Jamaica. Currently waiting on my midi controller to get here and I will certainly use your templates to get me started. Big up yuself, riddim dem bad, love em.
Thank you, man. I spent over 10 hours, for research and setup MCC, something I found, something not. So, I'm pretty satisfied. I will upgrade this template with using "MIDI-scripts". If it will something good, I show you the final version.
After a bit back and forth with the template, finally got it all to work and saved me A LOT (maybe a week and a half) time of searching for MPC template on the WHOLE internet lmao. Definitely recommend the template for the cheap price of $7.99 it literally includes everything you need for your MIDI and you set for life wit it!
Hello good sir. Like your position, I've got the other two modes figured out after fiddling around A LOT, but for the love of god, I can't figure out how to set up the MPC mode. I feel like it has something to do with setting up the right MIDI channel, but I can't seem to fiddle around this one. Do you think you can help me out? Even a hint maybe? A bread crumb? Any direction will be much much much appreciated. My email is veryanonymous123@gmail.com
i have an arturia minilab hopefully this template works for it as well I have watched the video and read the comments and it seems worth the investment I'm going to buy it right now
Now this really brings a new breeze to my workflow. I honestly wished arturia had made it compatible from the beginning, but you are really a big hero to the time that almost got lost for me when i was in search of a way to do this myself!! Only thing i need now is having a preset to control the mixers faders with the knobs, any clue how that works? Without having to link it everytime??
Def a time saver. Took me like a week of research and trial and error to get it all sorted out. For the faders and knobs, there is no good way to make it set everytime other than a custom startup template with your favorite plugins/generators and having the MIDI mapping already saved as part of the presets. I have another video on how to do this as well.
i tried to figure this shit out my damn self, but, you got me. shit is mad complicated im spending the $12 instead of engulfing in rage. its a dope ass template tho so i do appriciate you making this, even if it is for sale.
Thank you for the support. It's honestly worth it. I still end up helping a lot of ppl through email and DMs. It was crazy before I started charging. Couldn't keep up with the messages. Now we allow winning! 💪🏾
Thanks Al! This is great! Can I ask, why did you pick that specific controller in FL studio settings? I mean, does it have something to do with how you programmed your presets/templates for each bank? Thanks!
Just getting into producing was having trouble navigating myself in fl studio. With this templet I get around easier and experiment more, really loving it so far! The lights don't turn on my pads lmk when you guys fix this would love to customize my minilab more.
Thanks Al. I bought one, and need to find time to dedicate to mastering all its nuances. Must say even in my initial stage with it, its an amazing device and so priceworthy. Love how you show the method with webcam and tyhe Arturia and your hands, and Ableton big screened (which could be any of many sound production apps, i can say Presonus Studio 5 works well with it, as does logic X, and Garage Band. Havent Tried it with iPad Yet if it works
No doubt! If you don't have the keyboard already, use the affiliate link in the description. The price is the same for you but I get a little kickback!
