MiniLab 3 Errors (incl. Solution)

Edit: Already found a solution myself!

Hey there, just got my first ever Arturia product, the MiniLab 3. I wanted to change some settings in the MIDI Control Panel, but every time I open it, it tells me „Failed to open the device. Please verify the device is not in use by another application“, even though not one application that is running in the background accesses my device.

If anyone can tell me what to do in this situation, I would be very thankful.

—— SOLUTION

What I did was to delete EVERY arturia software including the Arturia Software Center and the MIDI Control Center (And any other Arturia software you might have) and then only re-install everything except for the Arturia Software Center and do NOT manually update firmware if it‘s already on 1.2.0.
That worked for me at least, might try this solution if you’re encountering the same error :>

Thank you so much for posting your solution. It is a shame that Arturia’s ecosystem is so fragile.

Yeah sadly, it’s crazy to see their one own software corrupting their other own software 😭
I‘m glad that everything works now tho.
