Hey Maime, Sorry for the late response! I’ve never owned an MPK mini so I don’t know how to do this. I recommend checking out the user manual for your specific device to see what your options are.
Hey, the note repeat and arpeggiator don’t output any midi information I know of to devices that are external to the mpk 249. Rather they change the way the akai itself works. Note repeat should repeat notes according to the chosen time division on the mpk and the arpeggio should be customizable as well. But these just send regular keyboard information to your daw, nothing transport related (that I know of). Your 16 levels is about how your pads are mapped which is internal to the mpk as well. Hope this was helpful.
Finally figured out how to map the MPK2 series keyboards with Omni preview channel in FL Studio. First set your Omni channel to 10. Next go to edit on your keyboard and assign each pad to a note and MIDI channel. For the MIDI Channel each one should be mapped to MIDI Channel A10. For the Notes, start from the bottom left pad and map the notes starting at C3 DO NOT INCLUDE THE SHARPS. So pad one should be C3, pad 2 should be D3, pad 3 should be E3 and so on. Do this for all banks. After that set your MIDI Channel for your keyboard to A16. Once that’s done click the preset button on your keyboard. Press right on the navigation arrows and press the selector knob in to save the preset. Now you should be able to play keys separately from your pads as long as you keyboard is selected in the step sequencer.
That would be sick and that’s a great question. Not that I know of. I believe changing channels is MMC info like your play, stop, and pause buttons and idk that the pads can be programmed to MMC let alone the correct MMC commands. Their might be 3rd party software that can customize the commands from your controller before it reaches FL Studio. There could even be a totally simple way to do it on the controller or on FL Studio that I don’t even know about. But if there is a way I want to know now… that’d be sick
@@ScaleAudio The Akai MPK Mini has that function with “CC” button! So I thought maybe there would be a way but I guess not lol definitely would be nice if we could do it!
@@norfsyq9660 if it’s a CC function you should totally be able to! You just have to find the correct CC and the correct setting within FL Studio. If you have the mini you can right click an item and click link to controller, press the pad in question on the mini, and then re-open the link to controller page and see what CC# and channel was assigned. Then you just gotta replicate it and use the same controller type in your “midi settings”
@@ScaleAudio Yo wassup man! So after some more tinkering this is what I found out. If you press edit> then I used s1 for the button> then on s1 I set the type to program change then I went to program number and set it to 0. I repeated this process for my s2-4 buttons so my program numbers for each button is 0,1,2,3. So now I can cycle through MIDI Channels 1-4 on the step sequencer (channel rack) with the s1-s4 buttons on the MPK225, but that’s it. Ideally I’d like to be able to go up and down the step sequencer just using only two of those buttons to navigate through the entire step sequencer (channel rack). Think you could maybe help figure this out?
@@norfsyq9660 no idea how we’d make it two notes to go up and down. Honestly you’ve taught me so far 🤙 if I ever find out though you’re gunna be the first person I tell 💪
Sadly, I do not. I know that another person commented on my video saying they had a preset that worked straight out of the box with FL studio. so maybe try shuffling through the presets to see if something works? I sadly don't have a copy of logic to troubleshoot it though.
Please help with mpk mini mk3...how to setup mmc
Hey Maime,
Sorry for the late response! I’ve never owned an MPK mini so I don’t know how to do this. I recommend checking out the user manual for your specific device to see what your options are.
does this will affect our custom preset ? do i would reassign all my pad buttons, colors.. etc ?
or should i always choose « mmc » on a pre-made preset like the fl studio preset or the LiveLite ?
You should be able to save it to either if I’m not mistaken. PS sorry for the late response!
what about note repeat 16 levels Apprgratior they all work?

Savage. I’m actually in the process of moving so as soon as I get my equipment set up I think I’m gunna copy this 💪
Need th is but for pro tools
Wish I knew! Thanks for stopping by and watching even though it wasn't exactly what you needed. It's appreciated!
Is there a way to make it so your pads can select which channels your on in the step sequencer?

what if it doesn't work? is there another way to make it work
Another guy in the comments says the reason preset works right out of the box. Could definitely try that!
Do you know how to do this for Logic?

@@ScaleAudio Just figured it out. Thanks :)
@@SJRamosPMORE You bet! Glad you got it worked out!
