Absolutely outstanding walkthrough. Was getting frustrated, but this helped immensely me get through it.
OMG what a clear and precise video, thank you so much I understood most of it.
Thanks so much for explaining this plainly! There are so many confusing videos out there, including the ones included with the software!
Literally the clearest expansion of this ever..... thank you
This works great, thank you for all this helpful information, and how clearly it was explained
thank you very much this guy is explaining everything very simple and the right way everybody else just going to confuse you
Thanks for the technical overview!
Oh, man I've not even made it to the end and your video has saved me so much grief! Was having issues getting certain Q links to correspond. Thank you!
Hey Riley Thanks So Much for the video got me to program my mpk mini, u da bomb brotha take care and keep making more helpful videos! :)
THANK YOU!!! What a perfect tutorial video!
I might need to watch this a few times!
Thank you for the video, was really helpful!
O my Gog! I was so frustrated before this video. I fought my computer is fucked or something but now everything is clear. Thanks a lot. Peace!
This is legit the best video for the corresponding AKAI MPK - with MPC Beats (I have version 2.8.3). There is so much none sense out there, and this was as clear as it can be. Honest
Good that im Not the only who See ist this way 👍 my words man. I even would go by so far, to say this is the only Tutorial for the AKAI Mini MK 3 that I need 😆
True. Peace from germany
Nice been looking all over too
Lie
Wow thanks dude!🤘🏿😎🤓🎸
Thank you so much for your video.
Thanks for the info bro.
You’re the best. ❤️
Is there an next steps video after this one? This is so helpful! Great video!!
Man idk what im doing but im gonna do it. Thanks pal
Thank you.
Thank You!!
Thank you for this video. Mine just wont play anything.
I would like to know how to make hihat rolls with the drum pads
Great vid - Can you assign a whole chord to the pad?
Hey when i press cc button my pads are not continuosally lighting up, like i saw in other videos plz help brother😥,in other videos i saw they press cc button & the pad loops & full time lighten up.
Track and control select doesnt work for me, i had to use Master to get the pads to do some sound
When is Akai going to come out with Midimix MKII.
the new mpk mk3 has a differnet set up than the one used in this video, I had to turn on master in order to get my pads to work with the program.
I have the new one too, I turned on master and the sound now works but the it still doesn't light up when tapped, how did you fix this?
Good Information 😊👍🏼
Please Sir 🙏🏼 More Details About Mpk Mini Play MK3
My Mpk Mini Play Mk3 Mapping Not By Line - Mpc Beats Need Help 😊
i don' t have after installation of the software , any audio lab in which I can find the plugin..... basically I can't let map beats recognise the hybrid and other software in the box
can the pads light up when in standyby mode
How do I sync the arpeggioator with my DAW? Do i just change the clock in the MPK mini editor to external?
Will this all work the same with a mpk mini 2 ?
0:59 Hi, everyone.. Preferences menu for windows step 1- Edit step 2- preferrences menu u can see this... have fun
ty man
What if there isn’t a MPC beats menu for you?
@dum3sh1t Memorize the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-, (control key & comma). Alternatively, click the nearly hidden menu icon in the top left corner (three horizontal bars, sometimes called a hamburger icon) to popup the vertical menu. Mouseover the Edit pullout menu to reveal Preferences at the bottom of it.
@@byte-nibbler ohh fs thank you
❤️
hi, Can I do a Factory Reset on the mini ???
Can I play with this direct from the box or I need the pc ? Can I power to a speaker and star run out beats ?
Hi ive got my akai mpk on its way to me but i have a question does it already come with some pre loaded sounds on it as standard to get you started ?? Many thanks daren
no only plug ins you download it comes with the mpc beats for free
Mind doesn't respond on my PC when I press the pads. It only responds when i do it with the mouse on my Mac itself. Do you know why this is?
i have it connected to my ableton + on midi channel drumrack and i cant use the mute mode help me plz
I did the exact step no sound except one key make sound and bottom pad make no noise
Man, how I do to control the tag programs with a knob? cause in the moment i press learn this tag program is not to selected
Yooo.. I need help... my pads are not responding on the program edit at all! I have followed each and every step and I have tried a million times!!! I don't see what am doing wrong.. PLEASE HELP! 😫
Anyone knows how to reassign the pads? My whole first bank pad is over the place
How does one set up transport controls in MPC beats for the AKAI MPK mini MK3? I tried midi learn and setting record and play to a pad. It didn't actually work unless I slammed the pad and registered a full scale 127/127 hit. I tried all the midi learn options and none worked. Same for trying a key instead of a pad to use as a transport control. This would be really great if I could control the transport without moving back to the mouse and keyboard.
Good Video, but how does it work in FLStudio? Dont get any other sounds then just the Bass drum out of it. :(
@inMusic Brands Support - at 1:42 I'm having no luck. My controller is attached to my MacBook via a USB-B to USB-C cable and I see "In" respond when I tap on the pads, however it does not light up the mapping in the MPC DAW. Also no sound from the keyboard. I updated the MIDI settings as you showed right before that. Tapping PROG SELECT also didn't open the same menu you showed at :50
I think it's because I can't load the Hip Hop template
HELP Having problems with setting up APK mini MK3 with Reason 12. Reason 12 option is available its not sending any information from the keyboard to the DAW, Also I cant log into My Akai account keeps saying wrong email and when I reset password it says sending emails to change password and no email received so how am I supposed to change the password, I'm also unable to get customer support or update My Akai products because I cant log in.

Hi there!
When I click the preference and at the MIDI/sync, my AKAI MPL mini doesnt appear there.. why? What should i do?
Hope somebody would help me😢
song in background, anyone knows?
hello :) maybe someone here can help me. i'm completely new to the game midi controller and i have no idea. i've done the installation and everything works fine. now when i select the hiphop kit just like in the video, i have different sounds on my pads and in mpc beats the buttons i press don't light up. i also have no sound on the bottom right pad and no sound on the second pad in the top row. what could be the reason for this? did i do something wrong during the installation or did i accidentally set something wrong? i would appreciate any helpful answers.
Hi I am Rejoice... I am not able to get sound from Akai MPK Mini MK3 even after installing mpk mini software manager setup. Can you please advice?
Hi I'm having same issue, did you find a fix??
I see that it’s programmed the channel and number saved but it doesn’t play what i programmed it to. It changes with whatever program I’m using. Am i missing something?
My Mpk isn't showing up in MIDI/Sync preferences for me to help pls
Hi! This section of one of our other MPK Mini videos can help: th-cam.com/video/DBJxT9gj_0c/w-d-xo.html We also recently released a video on troubleshooting class-compliant MIDI devices, which the MPK Mini mk3 is, so give that a view as well! th-cam.com/video/gnJuZnYpfIY/w-d-xo.html
For some reason, my knobs won't do anything on the MPC program. I can't control the volume, the play head or anything else the knobs control.. Plez help
i dont have the option to get to the preference tab i dont any of that setting tab in my mpc did they update it
Hello - in addition to using the file menu, you can instantly open the Preferences menu in MPC with a keyboard shortcut:
macOS: press the CMD and , (comma) keys simultaneously
Windows: press the CTRL and , (comma) keys simultaneously
I started with playing some piano on other software and then try this and while it recognised the mini mk3, it doesnt react when I press any of the tabs which is the step 1:30min in. Tips?
I realised why, somehow the CC was enabled in the top right!
I have the one without the knobs on the right I only have the 4 knobs above the drum pads and the 6 buttons to the right It is a MK3 by Akai. I cant find a video with this one
That's not even the MK3, yours is the Mini Play, he mentioned it towards the end of the video...
Do you have to pay for mpc beats or does it showup when you connect it to your computer via laptop?
that among other bundle software, you have to download it. reg keys etc is on back of keyboard and in box etc.
I'm facing Latency problem when I hit the pad on my MPK MK3 and it gets really frustrating while trying to catch up with the music.
any help pls?
Try to fix the buffer size in your configuration section. Also you can download Asio4All and asign it as your audio driver in configuration.
i have a pc what do
how to get mpc
bruh why mine no have mpc beats prefence menu bruh
the “Control” option is not there in my preferences settings, what should I do?
Also having this issue
How to set up Preference menu?
Step 1- Edit open Step 2- Preferences menu u can see its for windows^^
"global" shows up in my inputs instead of "master". how do i change that back to normal?
Hi there - as of MPC 2.11, the MIDI input mode previously known as "MASTER" is now titled "GLOBAL".
Per the 2.11 release notes: "All instances in the MPC that refer to the 'Master' are now referred to as 'GLOBAL' or”'MAIN'."
i can only hear my pads but keyboard doesnt play sounds? i dont understand this... @.@
still have no idea how to use the knobs
My keys won't make any noise at all..its recieving a signal to MPC Beats, but not making sound. What do I do?
Same prob 😑
@@dharanisham I might have figured it out..at least for me. Go to the hamburger button on the top left of MPC BEATS, then go to edit, then preferences. From there, go to Midi/Sync. Then, at the top of that, just below Input Ports should say MPK mini 3. Make sure all three of the things are on(light-grey)..master,control and track.
Hope this helps
@@ZacharyL05 is this works
Can u send discord link
For me the drumpads are working as keys
It was that mapping was impossible, now i cant even see the pads on cpu
for some odd reason no matter what i do the drum pads wont work! this is my 5th tutorial and ive been here for 7 hours. i dont know what to do. im starting to think its defective but not sure
3:12 and that boom doesn't work for me. Boom.. 💥💥💥
I can’t get my keys to make any sound even when it is playing
If you find a fix let me know
@@musicmane4146 bet add me on discord
Same problem did u solve it
Same here too
@@ZacharyL05 VERY LOW SENSITIVITY AND SOUND WHILE USING MPC BEATS AND OTHER SOFTWARE
I'm about to lose my mind, i can not select program, it's been 1 year and it was working well but now my pad 1 is in pad 13 and i can not change it
Hey dude did you find a way to fix it?
@@KonigDerLufte dude Open your Mpk mini software manager and enter mpk editor. Then choose "File" at the top left and enter "Open Program". Choose MPC BEATS. And say Send To Ram at bottom left. That's all. But you have to do this before Open MPC Beats all the time. At least i gotta do this before enter
@@emowk Thanks for reply, I have older MK1 which doesn't have software menager but I realized I messed the notes in mpk editor before so I fixed them and now it works
I'm returning my mini mk3 because the plugins do not upload as promised and the iLok and inMusic sites are a confusing run around, no wonder Ableton is the number DAW, this is BS.

You don't explain what I need you to explain. I did all the steps and still get no sounds.
Hello, I had the same thing. You have to go through the edit-preferences-audio device-audio device type and select direct sound instead of windows audio
Edit - advanced - put audio output to speakers.. doesn't do it by default
Edit preferences and then audio same thing happened to me I also noticed you can't hear if you have a mic plugged in sometimes
Wow
When they say "link in the description box" I can't figure where to find that, Help!
Software does NOT work on a MAC under 14.1 !!!!! so just burnt my money !!!
Didn't work
This absolutely does NOT work why are all y'all saying it does? The pad 1 has itself registered as pad 2 regardless of how i map it in fact. When i go to map and select pad one in the software then assign it to the hardware it registers pad 1 as 2 IN MAPPING how tf are y'all saying this works????
The pads don’t play 16 levels , chords and only 16 pads in bank A that’s on the software. Using the typing keys as pads work better than these pads they are only good for drums
You must be using an Apple computer because on windows it does not look like r that.
1st of all I have no idea what all of this terminology means and 2nd I did everything step-by-step exactly 100% pausing hundreds of times to do it exactly like what you're doing and my screen does not look at all the same as yours and the things that are happening on yor happening on your screen are not at all the same as mine...... I am so sad
You're not alone. My software and Mini pad are not reacting the same as the video, either. And this is the third video I've watched in an attempt to get my pads to map correctly to the software. It's as if the company doesn't want most people to understand their own product. The manual and reference materials are all trash and not at all helpful. Sucks for neurodivergent people the most.
sorry but for a beginner everything is to fast
You can change the speed of the video using the gear settings.
Nobody should buy these until they fix the drivers and software!
*_WORST AUDIO CONTROL AND DRIVERS OF ANY MANUFACTURER AND ZERO SUPPORT_*
Regret buying into Akai.
can you add your own files as pads or keys?
