FL Key MINI refuses to work | FL Studio Community | Page 1

ive been slowly loosing my mind over this issue and I have no clue what to do now.
My FL Key MINI refuses to do some very basic functions for no reason. I can't shift up in octaves and im stuck at the last item in the channel rack and every time i press the up channel rack button it just doesn't do anything. Ive reinstalled the drivers like 7 different times, tried to use componants to factory reset it, even tried reinstalling fl studio and the fl studio midi scripts. I don't know whats going on and i need some help with it.

are you using the DAW or MIdi script?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

both

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

alrighty. Is it connected directly or through a hub? USB 3.0 or 2.0

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

directly

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

#

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

where do we start from

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

remove scripts and ports and disable both inputs

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

wild briar

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

alrighty. Enable both 2 inputs and set the ports

#

Flkey Mini MIDI to 236 and MIDIIN to 237

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

Flkey Mini Midi script now to FLkey Mini MIDI and MIDIIN2 to FLkey Mini DAW

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

Click the output ports in the upper ‘Output’ panel and set the ‘Port’ numbers to match the inputs.

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:17 PM

#

like that?

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:18 PM

#

Select the DAW output (upper panel) and enable ‘send master sync’

#

Enable ‘Pickup (takeover mode) near the bottom of the window.

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

did both of that and im still getting the same issues

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

Click ‘Refresh device list’ in the bottom left.

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

issues with the channel rack and still cant shift up an octave on the keyboard

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

and then a screenshot again?

#

you are running newest version or something older? are the midi scripts up to date?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

midi scripts are up the date, firmware is up to date and im using the latest fl studio version

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

is the FLKey mini also up to date?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

yes

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

is there a factory reset for the flkey mini through Novation Components?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

yes and ive done that several times

#

even tried reinstalling components and doing it and still nothing

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

so the channel rack does not work? So you hold the shift button and press the pad with channel rack?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:26 PM

#

i cant shift up ini the channel rack

#

its stuck selecting the last item in the channel rack

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

wild briar i cant shift up ini the channel rack

can you try setting it to instrument mode and then try the channel rack arrows?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

something is bugging in your midi controls. That's why it flashes between the instruments. Can you try unplugging everything except the flkey and your mouse? Also change the audio to FL Studio ASIO

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:33 PM

#

i do use the fl studio asio and the fl key mini is the only midi device i have plugged in

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:34 PM

#

so did you unplug everything and try it?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:35 PM

#

I can’t unplug everything since I have a lot of devices on this pc

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:35 PM

#

wild briar I can’t unplug everything since I have a lot of devices on this pc

could be the reason why it's not working. Is the Audiobox 96 also connected?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:35 PM

#

yes

#

but i just unplugged it and it didnt fix anything

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:36 PM

#

is the cable the original one that came with it? Did you buy it new or used?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:36 PM

#

i bought the fl key new, original cable

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:37 PM

#

Do you have access to a different computer where you could try it out? Should the result be the same, it might be a faulty device. If not, then it's something on your computer

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:38 PM

#

No other pcs in the studio run fl studio and the only pc that does use it is back at home

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:38 PM

#

If faulty. RMA it

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

wild briar No other pcs in the studio run fl studio and the only pc that does use it is bac...

can you maybe install fl to try it out?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

I’ve had this thing for a long time now and it only started doing this recently

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

wild briar I’ve had this thing for a long time now and it only started doing this recently

that's good to know

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:40 PM

#

unborn bay can you maybe install fl to try it out?

I mean I can try installing it on the workshop’s pc

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:40 PM

#

wild briar I mean I can try installing it on the workshop’s pc

you should definitely try it

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:41 PM

#

im booting it up, this may take a while

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:42 PM

#

wild briar im booting it up, this may take a while

no worries

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:47 PM

#

its doing the same thing on the workshop's pc too

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:48 PM

#

wild briar its doing the same thing on the workshop's pc too

Now you can only hope that the cable is faulty. Try a replacement, if not unfortunately your controller might be broken. Could also be pad which is stuck or something

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:49 PM

#

i dont even know if our studio has another cable for this

#

lemme see if one of our other keyboards has one

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:49 PM

#

do you have a printer in the studio. They often use the same one

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:49 PM

#

oh yeah we do

#

stole a cable from a keyboard we had in storage

#

yeah even that didnt work

#

and i still cant shift up an octave

#

like the + ocatave button dont work

unborn bay Jun 1, 2025, 5:53 PM

#

is it out of warranty?

wild briar Jun 1, 2025, 5:54 PM

#

im not sure

#

it might be though
