Thank you for the very helpful video. I just bought two of these for my 9 year old twins. This means I’ll have to program these functions twice in the very near future. I suppose it will help them learn some of the functions of the device but I’m surprised that Akai didn’t provide some device-specific presets since they own the software and the hardware.

hi im just trying to figure out how to make my pads make sound while keyboard is working like a keyboard at the same time. Like if i get the keys to play like actual keys, then i hear no sound from the pads. But whenever i get the pads to make sounds, my keys dont work like a keyboard anymore and will act more like pads than keys with preset sounds. How do i get it to where i can play the keys like an actual piano while still having pads that can have drums and stuff on it?

Hi @MatthewStratton😎✌🏻. I hope its going well. I have learned quite a bit from watching your videos😁. And congrats man I hope you keep achieving great things. I've been having a problem with my AKI MPK MINI PRO. How can I fix my problems if my keys on my AKAI MPK MINI PRO don't seem to be working even if I have a vst plugged in. i can select a different instruments it just sounds a little different because of the instruments but the pads nor the keyboard seem to be working it's been really frustrating I have like two days trying to fix my problem, trying to watch video tutorials I want to try to reset it up I don't seem to find an answer. Is my AKI MPK MINI PRO broken? I just got it like a month ago. what I do want to stress is that there is some sound when I touch a pad or the keyboard but it's not like the complete sound of the VST of the instruments. it's like a partial end of a sound or the only the beginning but it cuts off it's not really the complete sound like of a piano or a drum. It's sound like a cut of piano😂.

This is a whole new world to me! Am I able to change the drum sounds to make them sound better and use those sound without the computer? I guess eq or change and save different drum sounds to the pads that are not in the device. Hope that makes sense. Thank you!

@hermitkungfu Жыл бұрын

I was gunna ask the same thing, 'cause these factory drums are kinda whack. haha I was hoping to be able to use the encoder knobs, to manipulate the drums into sounding better, but that's a no-go. So my next move, was to try and upload decent drums from MPC Beats (or whatever/wherever), and save them to use later without having the Mini Play connected to a computer......but I'm honestly not sure that's even an option, unfortunately. I can't find anything online, with the aim of doing so.

@hermitkungfu Жыл бұрын

The only think I can find, was in the manual - which d-o-e-s make it sound like you can save external drums onto pads, when the Mini Play is connected to a computer.....but, I'm still not sure if they'll still be saved once disconnected. I'll try and check it out tomorrow. Internal Sounds: Press this button to enable/disable the internal sounds when a key or pad is pressed. When disabled, your MPK mini Play mk3 will send and receive MIDI only using the USB port. Press and hold this button and the Favorites button and then tap one of the eight pads to store your Favorite to that location.

Now if I could figure out how to get the vst programs like mini grand to work in the mpc 2.11 that would be great also the songs I created in mpc beats to load into mpc 2.11 maybe you have a link to that. Tried loading mini grand vst in preferences but just keeps failing when trying to load plug-in. Anyhow thanks again
