4.1.5.2. Tutorial 1: Using MIDI to Control Arturia's MINI V

VST synth

In this tutorial we will use the KeyStep Pro to control the filter cut-off frequency of Arturia's

MINI V VST synth. The MINI V is part of Arturia's V Collection, a great series of software

emulations of classic hardware synths.

Even if you don't own the MINI V, you can still follow this tutorial. Just download the demo

version from

. Although this tutorial

features the MINI V, it can be used to learn how to control any knob on any VST synth from

Arturia's V Collection that you want to set up to receive MIDI.

• Connect the KeyStep Pro's USB Out to your computer's USB In. Load either the

standalone or the DAW-based VST version of the MINI V

• In the MINI V user interface, open the Arturia system menu in the top left and

select 'Audio Midi Settings'. Under 'MIDI Devices', select the Arturia KeyStep Pro.

the MINI V will now be highlighted in red or purple.

• Click on the Cutoff Frequency knob in the Filter section of the MINI V. Tweak the

Filter knob on the KeyStep Pro. The Cutoff Frequency knob of the MINI V should
