# SysEx Controls for Linux
This is a Libadwaita UI that allows you to configure certain Akai and Arturia 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 mk2
- Akai MPK Mini mk3
- Arturia BeatStep
- Arturia BeatStep Pro
- 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 MiniLab
- Arturia MiniLab mkII
- Arturia MiniLab 3
These might also work, but have not been tested yet:
- Arturia DrumBrute
- Arturia KeyLab 49 / 61 / 88
- Arturia KeyLab 49 / 61 / 88 mk3
- Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 / 61 / 88
- Arturia MicroLab
- Arturia MiniBrute 2
- Arturia MiniBrute 2S
- Arturia SparkLE
- Arturia The Laboratory
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 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.
