So I recently purchased an Arturia Keylab MK2 61, works well and feels well too. However since it does not support Cakewalk, it's been a pain in the neck to use the control buttons. I found that setting the device as Mackie Control works the best. Most of the controls work, like the track commands and the transports, and the faders, encoders, and buttons control Track 1-8 perfectly, but still there are few problems that I really want to fix:
Standard HUI mode:
Most Global Controls button (Save, In, Out, Undo) do nothing, and the Metro button toggles the Browser View. Also, the 9th set of fader and encoder do not control the volume and pan of the Master track.
Standard MCU mode:
Most of the buttons do not work, some even trigger unknown commands that disable my faders and encoders.
In the Mackie Control tab in Cakewalk, there are only a few mapping selections (F1-8), but nothing changes after I switch the commands of F1-8. I also disabled handshake but it makes no difference.
I also tried setting it as ACT midi controller, but I'm completely lost while trying to MIDI learn and map the buttons.
Questions:
1. How can I map the controls in Mackie Control HUI/MCU mode to the correct controls?
2. Which Controller/Surface mode is the best for Arturia Keylab MK2?
