My Studio. Drum pads are worthless. Otherwise a perfect controller IMO. Want a program template? Make one yourself. I'm having issues with making my own logic template.
Have any of you guys made a logic template for the mpk? I would like to know if I can use it. Hey guys.. I'm having a lot of issues with creating a logic template for the mpk Have any of you guys created a logic template? Can you mod the lpd8 pads too? I have to bang those bastards so hard it makes more noise than the sample in the sequencer :S. Since Akai products is made from taiwan eberything sucks, the 14 years old akai products are better.
I had two Mpk, The buttons didn't work that good and the velocity sucked. I also had a mpc and it sucked to, a mpc and it sucked. Akai sucks, Its like Oberheim, the also sucked when viscount bought them.
Never Akai again! Very insightful. Smitty Black. Get rid of it. I used to use the mpk 25 its logic support stinks and takes for ever to map. The MPK series really works great with Ableton live. Akai is another manufacturer that I'm sad to see go directly down the shitter as far as QC. Lucia St. Martin St.

Semi-weighted Aftertouch Channel. Custom LCD. If you depress the keys, release them, and then press down a new combination of notes, the Arpeggiator will memorize and arpeggiate the new notes. The display will indicate which octave you have shifted to. If both buttons are pressed at the same time, the octave shift will reset to 0.
If the preset is reloaded, the tempo will revert to the saved tempo value. We recommend using the Alesis Sustain Pedal. We recommend using the Alesis F2 expression pedals. The unit will be powered through the USB connection. Alternatively, if you do not wish to use a computer in your setup or if you wish to power the MPK49 externally, please plug in a 6V-1A DC power adapter optional.
Make sure that the MPK49 and all external devices are connected and that the USB cable is connected to your computer before opening any software applications on your computer with which you might want to use the MPK If the unit is not plugged in before, your software application might not recognize the MPK49 as an available device.
It will be displayed on the far right of the display as you apply pressure to the pad. This data is used to change certain parameters on your DAW or external sound module. The display shows the assigned event and the last sent value of moved knob or fader.
At that point, the fader or knob will begin transmitting from the value selected in the New Value field while in Preview mode. For example, imagine that slider S1 is being used to send three different MIDI CC numbers, depending on the control bank which you are currently in.
If you now switch back to control bank A and try to adjust S1 MIDI CC 10 , you will notice that the transmitted values will begin at 80 instead of 40 , due to the physical location of the slider.
Each mode can be accessed by pressing the corresponding button on the MPK Following is a short description of each mode: Preset Mode This mode allows you to load, save and copy Presets. A Preset is a collection of information about how different faders, knobs, and pads will behave.
Using Presets allows you to save different configurations so you can quickly load them when you need them, without having to reprogram the MPK49 every time. Edit Mode is a powerful tool for customizing your set-up. In this mode, you can make changes to how the keyboard, pads, knobs and faders are behaving. For example, you may wish to have a fader or a knob transmit only a limited range of MIDI data, or you may wish to have a pad that transmits on a different MIDI Channel.
You can change these and other various parameters in Edit Mode. For example, in Global Mode you can change how the pads respond to the touch, or change the brightness of the LCD screen. The parameters that you can modify in Global Mode also include controller resets, pad response curves, display brightness, and more. In this mode, you can tell your DAW or an external device to switch to a different program bank of sounds. This way, you can avoid having to manually switch between different programs on your DAW or external device.
The MPK49 features different Preset banks that you can load and write to. You can navigate between these pages with the [ ] buttons. This allows you to save any changes that you have made to the Preset. This way you can assign specific names to different Presets so you can quickly identify and access different controller configurations.
You will notice that the first letter of the name will begin blinking. To move between the characters, use [ ] buttons. The name will be saved. In this mode, you can edit the settings of the currently selected Preset.
The settings vary depending on the controller you are editing and are described below. Please note that the changes you make will only apply to the currently selected Preset. Press the [EDIT] button. To select the controller you wish to edit, simply engage it — this will prompt the screen to display the properties of the particular controller Page 1.
If there are multiple properties for the selected controller, turn the [VALUE] dial to select the property you wish to edit. To move between the parameter fields on Page 2, use the [ ] buttons. When finished editing the controller, press [ENTER] to accept the change or press [ You can use the example screenshot on the right to help you determine where the Page 2 parameters described on the following page will appear on the screen.
Aftertouch can often be used to control the vibrato, sustain or decay of a sound. Most often, velocity is directly mapped to the perceived loudness of a sound; so the harder you play the keys, the louder the sound will be.
Now select the keyboard for editing by pressing one of the keys. You will see Page 1 displayed on the screen shown on the left. The Octave shift field will begin to blink. The Aftertouch field will begin to blink. The Velocity field will begin to blink. The pads may also be set up to transmit Program Change information, which allows you to switch to different programs instruments or sound banks on your DAW or external device by hitting the pads.
What is a Note Message? What is a Program Change? This toggles a note or sample. This message will stop the note or sample.
A Program Change Message is used to switch among programs on your hardware or software device. Most often, these programs are collections of samples or instruments. You can use Program Change to tell your DAW or external device to switch to a new instrument or bank of sounds.
Press the pad that you would like to edit. Depending on which event type you select on Page 1, parameter options on Page 2 will be changed. Use [ ] buttons to move through fields on the second page.
The parameter fields available for each event type are outlined in the following pages. Use the [ 3. Use [ ] buttons to select Note field. You may have to experiment setting different Note Numbers on the MPK49 to find the range that is suited for your application.
Use [ ] buttons to select Play Mode field. Note: Aftertouch refers to MIDI information sent when pressure is applied to a pad after it has been struck, and while it is being held down. Aftertouch is often used to control volume, vibrato and other parameters. Use the [ ] button to select the next field. Use [ ] buttons to select Program Change field. Use [ ] buttons to select Bank M field.
Use the [ ] buttons to select Bank L field.
