Arturia Minilab 3 pads

[Malvinas]

I have an Arturia Minilab 3.
I want the pads found over the keys to toggle effects and whatnot on and off. Can't get that done. "Learn MIDI" doesn't pick them up.
Does anyone have the same MIDI controller and found a way to get this working?
Those pads just sit there with nothing to get used for.

Thank you all for your interest.

When MIDI-learn does not work, i doubt you will be able to.
Pitch-wheels can be found, but pads are different.
Perhaps you can find one using the Wheel-method:
The basic principle in connecting anything to a MIDI-keyboard-feature is:
Find the lmms-component you want the HW-MIDI-feature to control (for a mod-wheel filter freq could be a RL example)
Right click on the the lmms-component and a list will pop up.
In the list select "Connect to controller", a "Connection Settings" box will pop up.
Make sure MIDI controller and Auto Detect are lit up, then activate the HW-MIDI-feature on your MIDI-keyboard!
Often it will show as ch1, controller 2
Click OK and the HW-MIDI-feature should now control the lmms-component you selected.
you can set up any other lmms-component control on a MIDI keyboard the same way. It sets it up as a different controller (CC) number.

First off: Thank you very much for your help.
What you're describing is the regular catch-all way of configuring the "Learn MIDI" setup for any ('generic') MIDI controller. I'm asking if anyone has any experience with specifically the Arturia Minilab 3, and has succesfully assigned the pads to on/off channels/effects/whatnot, to be toggled by punchin the pads.
