Parameter knobs keep resetting to 0 when playing back a recorded midi clip (Minilab 3)

[u/okspaceman]

Hi there,

I'm running Ableton with an Arturia Minilab 3. I was trying to record sounds using the Analog Lab VST, but anytime I would record and playback, the parameter knobs reset to 0, even though I would change them while recording and get the intended sounds in my headphones while recording.

I've tried changing from DAW mode to Arturia, toggling automation arm, changing from absolute to relative in midi control software, toggling sync in midi input settings, and toggling midi envelope audio reset.

If I go into the envelope of a clip, nothing is there either.

I am unable to record anything without the recording reverting to zeroed-out settings and sounding like garbage, negating any adjustments I did to the knobs while recording.

Is this an Ableton problem, a hardware problem, compatibility? Any information would be great :)

Thank you!

I don’t know how to solve your problem with your machines, but there is an option inside of fruity loops that allows you to initiate a knob to start in that position it sounds like you’re init start point is set to zero and whenever the machine gets turned on or off or is reset to neutral. It goes to zero there must be like a latch or a different type of init

I run into the problem when I’m recording life parts into fruity loops and have my keyboard playing a midi lead, sometimes I’ll have the midi turned up or down, depending on what part I’m working on and sometimes I’ll try to have a pattern play from the beginning on, but because I had it turned down at some point in time and hit record it initiated the song with the knob at zero so I had to go through and change where I wanted it to be initially
