About

This is a Libadwaita UI that allows you to configure certain Akai, Arturia and Korg devices. It currently allows for reading the controls (Buttons, Knobs, Pads, Keys, etc) and changing them and writing back to the device.

This is a Linux alternative to the MIDI Control Center software.

These devices are supported and tested:

  • Akai MPK Mini
  • Akai MPK Mini mk2
  • Akai MPK Mini mk3
  • Arturia BeatStep
  • Arturia BeatStep Pro
  • Arturia DrumBrute
  • Arturia DrumBrute Impact
  • Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 / 61 / 88 mk3
  • Arturia KeyLab mkII 49 / 61 / 88
  • Arturia KeyStep
  • Arturia KeyStep 37
  • Arturia KeyStep Pro
  • Arturia MicroLab
  • Arturia MiniLab
  • Arturia MiniLab mkII
  • Arturia MiniLab 3
  • Korg nanoKEY2
  • Korg nanoKONTROL
  • Korg nanoKONTROL2
  • Korg nanoPAD2
  • Moog Matriarch

These might also work, but have not been tested yet:

  • Akai MPD218
  • Arturia KeyLab 25 / 49 / 61 / 88
  • Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 / 61 / 88
  • Arturia MiniBrute 2
  • Arturia Minibrute 2S
  • Arturia SparkLE
  • Arturia The Laboratory
  • Korg nanoKEY
  • Korg nanoPAD

It doesn't support the KeyStep / BeatStep Pro sequencer banks, BeatStep Pro presets and the DrumBrute/MiniBrute banks yet.

It only supports the global controls from KeyLab 25 / 49 / 61 / 88 and SparkLE / The Laboratory.

If you think some untested devices work well, please let us know. If not, let us know as well.
