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 😆
@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.
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
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.
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! 😫
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.
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.
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.
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
@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
@@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'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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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????
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!
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'."
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 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 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
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?
Absolutely outstanding walkthrough. Was getting frustrated, but this helped immensely me get through it.

Thanks so much for explaining this plainly! There are so many confusing videos out there, including the ones included with the software!
I might need to watch this a few times!

Is there an next steps video after this one? This is so helpful! Great video!!
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

Is it compatable wirh windows 11 and what are min spec requirements ( for the software ) ? Googled it but no def answer
In my case everything is greyed out. Cant so sht :/ mmc is installed and the mpc software
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 ?
Anyone knows how to reassign the pads? My whole first bank pad is over the place
can the pads light up when in standyby mode
My knobs dont read my pads are mapped randomly all over nit 1 through 8 like yours
sorry but for a beginner everything is to fast
You can change the speed of the video using the gear settings.
It was that mapping was impossible, now i cant even see the pads on cpu

Try to fix the buffer size in your configuration section. Also you can download Asio4All and asign it as your audio driver in configuration.
When is Akai going to come out with Midimix MKII.
