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 😆
Is there a tutorial for a regular laptop? I don’t have a Mac. I can’t find the tab to open the ‘preferences’ menu. So I was lost already from the beginning
TYSM man I was having some real troubles with my MPK mini plus and the Q links and transport control is not responding to my inputs. This video really helped thanks a lot. You’re the best.
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!
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! 😫
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.
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?
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.
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
I have a problem... when I click on "Note repeat" and start to play, nothing come out from MPC Beats, but as I remove "note repeat", the sound come out. Could anyone help me?
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.
Hi! This section of one of our other MPK Mini videos can help: ruclips.net/video/DBJxT9gj_0c/видео.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! ruclips.net/video/gnJuZnYpfIY/видео.html
@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
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.
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?
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
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'."
How to simply assign a specific sound to a specific beat pad? I don't want to move the buttons, I just want to assign a specific sound to a specific button. This hardware/software is ridiculously complex. Impossible to use.
@@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
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
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
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.
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
@@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
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
Literally the clearest expansion of this ever..... thank you
Absolutely outstanding walkthrough. Was getting frustrated, but this helped immensely me get through it.
