Thank you for your comment! To the best of my knowledge, it is not possible to assign SEQTRAK's drum tracks directly to the pads on the MPK Mini. However, you can import sounds like kicks and snares into SEQTRAK's sampler track and then assign those sounds to the pads on the MPK Mini.

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you like it. As for the ploblem, you need to send the current settings to the AKAI MPK Mini by using the MPK Mini Program Editor (File > Send Program > Program1). Unfortunately, I only know the instructions as described in the manual and don’t have additional insights beyond that. I’ve made a video about how to set up the MPK mini, so if you haven’t seen it yet, please check it out.

@@algaebeats Thank you very much for your reply. I found out that my keyboard was broken. Happy New Year 2025 from Spain

Thanks!

Thank you for your comment! Yes, the guitar sound is a preset sound from the SEQTRAK. It's called "Melodic Jazz."

@ well, you made it sing! Thanks mate.

Thanks! Glad you like it.

Thanks!

Glad you like it!

Thanks for your comment! All the sounds are preset sounds from Seqtrak. The piano is a preset called 'Hall Mellow Grand'.

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

It's my pleasure!

Thank you for your comment! To change the MIDI transmit channel on the nanokey2, you need a Mac/PC and the KORG Kontrol Editor software. You can download the KORG Kontrol Editor from the following webpage. www.korg.com/us/support/download/product/1/133/ MIDI channels for each track on the SEQTRAK can be checked on the following page. manual.yamaha.com/mi/de/seqtrak/en/SEQTRAK_user_guide_En_B0_017.html

@@algaebeats Thank you!

Thanks for your comment! As far as I know, it is difficult to control SEQTRAK's drum tracks using the pads on the MPK Mini. If you want to flexibly control all the features of the SEQTRAK, I recommend the Launchkey Mini.

Thank you for your comment! Glad you found the tip helpful.

Thank you for your comment! As you mentioned, there are differences in the hardware specifications between the Launchkey 37 and the Launchkey Mini. I don’t have a Launchkey 37, but according to the manual online, it seems that you can change the MIDI channel of the keybed using the Settings Button on the Launchkey 37.

I'm glad it was helpful.

Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks for your comment! Yes, the SEQTRAK can supply up to 500 mA of current.

@@algaebeats Thank you for your answer. Have a nice day and take care! Musically...

Thank you for your comment! Glad you liked it. The preset sounds of the SEQTRAK are used, except for the sound of waves and the calls of seagulls.

Thanks!

Glad you liked it! This track uses a Hip-hop beat, and I've explained how to make it in another video, so if you're interested, please check it out. [SEQTRAK] Making a Hip-hop Beat from Scratch Using the Micro Timing | Tutorial ruclips.net/video/fqJ3tUQ6KEs/видео.html

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Thanks for your comment! Since the seqtrak doesn't have a display, it's very convenient to use in combination with the dedicated seqtrak app. The workflow of the seqtrak has some quirks, so it might suit some people but not others. Yamaha has posted tutorials on RUclips, so it could be helpful to watch those to get a sense of it.

@@algaebeats i see. thank you for the help!!!

They recently updated the app, and alot of the bugs have been worked through, best experience is Usb cable into the PC

Thank you for your comment! I'm using a Mac (Ableton Live) as a hub to control the JT-4000 Micro with a PSS-A50.

Thank you for your comment! If you want to know how to set up the Launchkey Mini for the SEQTRAK, the following tutorial video might be helpful. How to set up Launchkey Mini MK3 for SEQTRAK ruclips.net/video/YROHI_q962s/видео.html Or are you interested in learning how to do a live looping performance?

@@algaebeats Thank you! I will definitely watch this video. If I have any more questions, I will write to you again✨

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

Thank you for your comment! I also struggle with the BPM issue and I'm not sure what causes it. This problem occurs when I connect MIDI devices to the SEQTRAK, so it might be that the MIDI device's clock is syncing with the SEQTRAK. In the SEQTRAK app, there is a MIDI settings section in the Settings menu. If you set the Clock Sync to Internal, it might prevent this issue.

Glad you liked it!

Thanks for your comment! The drums, piano, guitar, and bass are using the preset sounds on the SEQTRAK. The SEQTRAK is compact and portable, with excellent sound quality from its AWM2 and FM sound sources, and it also has a 128-step sequencer, making it suitable for sketching ideas for composing music. Of course, it has its drawbacks too. Since the SEQTRAK doesn't have a display, it might take some time to learn how to operate it. Remembering the button combinations (shortcuts) can be particularly cumbersome.

MPK mini MK3 allows you to save a preset (Program 1-8) to each of its 8 pads. If you want to load a different preset, hold down the Prog Select button and press the pad assigned to that preset.

Thanks!

Thanks for your comment! I agree with your opinion. Since the MPK mini is not optimized as a MIDI controller for the SEQTRAK, it often presents some inconveniences.

@@algaebeatshow would you preset for dx please?

@@Yom7887 If you want to operate the DX Track with the MPK mini's keybed, please set the KEYBED / CONTROLS MIDI CHANNEL to 10. I apologize if my answer is off the mark, as I do not fully understand what you are trying to achieve.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for your comment! I usually try to use presets on the SEQTRAK, but for this video, I combined some samples I had purchased previously to create the track.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Glad you like it!

Thank you for your comment! I have set the pads 6 and 7 on the bottom row of the Launchkey mini to the Seqtrak's Perc1 and Perc2 (I have set the shaker sound to Perc1 and Perc2.). To keep the tempo, I have pre-programmed the shaker rhythm.

Danke schön! Ich freue mich, dass es dir gefällt.

Thanks!

Thank you for your comment! The two devices can be connected via a USB cable. If you want to know how to set up the Launchkey Mini for the SEQTRAK, please refer to the tutorial video I made. How to set up Launchkey Mini MK3 for SEQTRAK ruclips.net/video/YROHI_q962s/видео.html

Thank you for your comment! The dedicated app for the SEQTRAK can be downloaded from the following URL. usa.yamaha.com/products/music_production/music-production-studios/seqtrak/downloads.html#product-tabs

Thank you for your comment! The presets used for the bossa nova are as follows. The sound of the waves and the cries of seagulls were not presets but sounds I prepared. synth1: Soft Case synth2: Nylon Slide Vel dx: FM Chorus Guitar kick: Muffled Kick 1 snare: Acoustic Rim - Jazz 1 hat1: Acoustic: Closed Hat 6

That sounds exciting! It seems like you're gearing up for some musical experimentation.

@@algaebeats for sure!

Thanks for your comment! As you may know, AKAI MPK mini allows you to save settings in each pad, and you can recall the settings by selecting each pad with the [PROGRAM SELECT] button. In this video, PAD3 is set to the Keybed Midi channel = 8 (SEQTRAK Synth1), PAD2 is set to the Keybed Midi channel = 9 (SEQTRAK Synth2), PAD1 is set to the Keybed Midi channel = 10 (SEQTRAK DX), respectively. If you are interested in how to set up the midi channel using the editor software, please refer to the instructional video I have made before.

@@algaebeats gracias, amigo!

Thank you for your comment! What I was doing is not so complicated. I made a backing track and then played the piano to it in real time. For the backing track, I used Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Moanin' (1958) as a reference for the drums and sax. Originally, I should have added trumpet and bass as well, but it was a bit tedious, so I skipped them.
