Great video...but when I set up my pads, they start about 2 octaves higher than yours on C major or any key. How do I get it down a couple octaves (bank B follows the notes in progression from A). Thnaks. Aan
I have the MPK mini plus. I am confused if this programming works only in MPC beats or if it will work in garage band too? I also want to reassign the sustain port in the back to work with an expression pedal I have from m radio, ex-p to work as a way pedal for my guitar in GB. C an anyone help me with these issues?
So, when I tried to connect my drum pads, only some would work during the first A settings, but when I tried it for the B setting, it worked for that assigned drum pad. Is there any reason why it did this?
Thank you Matthew. I just upgraded from mpc beats to mpc 2.11 and couldn't get the multidrum synth to work correctly with the mpk mini and this did the trick. 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
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😂.
Hi! i have a question regarding the mini plays, how do you sync the arpeggiator to any DAW (i've seen the program for the non-play versions and it does not work for plays) and is it possible to link the arpeggiator to another synth when plpaying as the standalone keyboard? Thanks!
Tanks. That works very good with pads. But the problem I have is with the keyboard. First keys an last ones does´t sound. I can´t find the way to map the full keyboard
Thank you so much Mathew. It was really very helpful and informative video. Now my son's AKAI MPK mini mk3 is ready to play. And we both are very happy 😊 . Love from INDIA.
I dont know whats up with mine if its broken or user error! I have followed this video 20 times my pads are just not assigning! I tap on the one pad in MPC then tap the 1 pad on the mpk and NOTHING populates...im going insane rn.
These things are generally a novelty and a toy without expensive software and a sound knowledge of music production. you can do a lot more with many standalone apps.
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.
Hey Matthew, thank you for sharing your videos,my name is fabian I made couple of nice beats, I didn't save them and I try to upgrade and there are missing , I can see the names but I keep getting a error is there any help for that thank you.
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?
Where are you trying to download firmware and drivers for the MPK mini Play MK3? I don't see those links in the log in. If you are talking about the MPC I don't see any errors when I click on the firmware download link in my log in area. Are you downloading from the log in?
Nice. I’ve done multiple videos on setting up pads and qlinks with MPC Beats. Figure I’d put one out for the new MPK mini play mk3 since people are probably looking for the new one and there is no template for it that I can see. Thanks for the comment.
@@MatthewStratton there is now but at the time I made the video a few weeks after MPC BEATS was released there was not. The template for the PLAY didn’t get added until MPC BEATS 2.10. I have a video for that also.
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!
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.
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.

thank you so much on the beginners guide mpc beats vid I was so confused how your drum pads did that while mine were only playing a low octave
Thanks Matthew I was lost and frustrated until I found your channel!!!
You sir are "le bombé"... da bomb!! Big salute to you
Das ist wirklich so hilfreich danke:)
i really needed this, thanks matthew
Thank you so much, you saved my life with this video!
thank you , man
thanks dude i just made fire on a loop
Sweet!
Thank You bro! Very Helpful
Great video Mathew. I learned something watching this. Great content as usual.
Glad to hear it!
MASTER!! thanks a lot!
When I open preferences Midi/sync there is in input and output ports.
Thanks Matt... Cheers
Thanks Matt.....Great Video..
Great Information 😊🙏🏼
Please Make More Information About Mpk mIni Play MK3 .
Thanks for the video, it's very useful! I have MPK mini 3,: is it possible to program 16 knobs? I use the first 8 only, thanks
hey, did you ever find out how to do it?
thanks thanks thanks
honestly i dont know why it isn't mapped already
Thank you man!🦕
Thank you for this video!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching

im using the mpk mini
Any plans to cover connecting The mini play mk3 with Ableton?
ooOOoo. didn't know mini play had green backlight.
for me when i press my second pad it shows up as 38 in stead of 37
So, when I tried to connect my drum pads, only some would work during the first A settings, but when I tried it for the B setting, it worked for that assigned drum pad. Is there any reason why it did this?
I have a question: when u use MPC beats in fl studio, can you still link your MPC one record and play buttons?
It helped
If you make a template with mpc beats will the template work on all daws
Why does nothing ever work for me bruh i did it the exact same way and i cant assign my pads
Nice video! 👍
Thanks!
Thanks for the walk through it was really helpful
I just seen Andy from Akai announcing a brand new update
Right on. I seen this video: ruclips.net/video/9Tj4gOIqe90/видео.html
great video but what about the other qlinks and mpk mini3 (not play)?
There is no A/B bank button that I am aware of. If you find a solution let me know.

Hey my Akai mpk mini mk3 is not working. It shows ("Upgrade v??.??") on that small screen. Help me out!!!
Don't worry just unplug it, if it didn't work reinstall the frimware from their website.

its not not working
Tanks. That works very good with pads. But the problem I have is with the keyboard. First keys an last ones does´t sound. I can´t find the way to map the full keyboard
Hi M! can you use INTERNAL SOUNDS when you plug it into MPC Beats? or only plugin ones?? thanks!
Thank you so much Mathew. It was really very helpful and informative video. Now my son's AKAI MPK mini mk3 is ready to play. And we both are very happy 😊 . Love from INDIA.

0:50 My MPK mini isn't showing up like it is here. I have it set to USB and it even made the connection sound in my headphones. Can someone help me?
this really helped thank you lots
the software is auto reconizing the key board as alesis 9 and when i import the saved map it doesnt work
Thanks dude. Very informative 👍🏽
i don’t have a preferences option in my edit tab, please help :(
What is the name of the computer software you’re using?
It doesn’t show up when I tap the pad. :(
how do I fix my mpk not connecting to mpc beats?
Ui can be intimidating as in Ableton
What the app that you use

Hi matt I've only had this keyboard and mpc a week I'd be so lost without your help thanks bro.
Glad I could help.
hey man i really wanna know how to record the sound effects from the mini play instead of from software
the existing effects in the midi
I got some working ideas in this video about MPC daw. thank you sir
Awesome!
2.11 update is now available
Where at, it isn't in my log in or when I check for updates in the software...I have seen the Sonic State video preview though.
This was super helpful, and easy to follow. Thanks a bunch ✌
Once you program it, do you have to enable and select the program every time you open MPC Beats or will it automatically save the settings?
You’re an excellent teacher.
Have you figured out how to use All of the knobs? Seems like I can only use the first 8.
thank you Matthew~
