Give this guy a medal for his zero ego. We need ppl like you man! Great vid!
thank you so much man! :D
where did you find the download link ?
In 22 minutes, I got more info than I did in my 3 hour search. This man is amazing.
No you are amazing! Thank you :D
This was amazing! Just got my MPK mini play Akai professional at the end of 2021 and now watching this. Learned everything first from you. much respect from Japan.
Platinum award for great tutorial. Unlike many tutorials the professoar anticipates the issues we might run into and shows how to fix them in advance. This saves us time, heartache and medical complications.
Dude, I didn't think i'd be able to set this up like ever. Thank you so much for this man, tutorials are not easy to make. I appreciate the time you put into this!👍😃
Thanks so much Toast my brother! Glad it helped :D
@@Professoar Hey man, I have a quick question if you've got the time. I've noticed when i'm using the joystick thingy to change the pitch of notes, sometimes it triggers something else to happen as if its linked to that something (But I never link it to anything). For example. I was just about to shift the pitch of some piano notes i was playing, and right when i moved the joy stick one of my mixer volumes lowered as if it was linked to the joystick controller. I then right-click my the volume to reset the link to controller thingy. But it still does the same thing. Weird, cuz it wasn't doing this just a few moments ago... Any idea what I did/am doing wrong? Anyway, i hope this makes sense man! thanks for your time 😅
@@Professoar Where can i get the MIDI file for my MPK
@@Professoar eyy professor do u have any idea on how to use cc mode for drum pads to use drum pads for play record etc on mpk mini mk3
If I ever get clout off this. Shouting this dude out. You hear his genuine care for assistance.
Yo man, love feedback like this! thanks. Stay on that grind! >:D
Wow this worked! I now only need to wait for the full version of fl studio!
at 7:10 my mini says failed... why?
@@moneyslim80 This happened to me too after I forgot to close out of the MPK editor. After I did & relaunched FL worked fine again. Remember to edit editor as administrator. :)
@@Professoar Hey, do you ever help not so tech savvy peeps out via remotely accessing they computer??? Sure would love to borrow 20 mins of your time...DM me?
I was afraid to watch a 22 minute tutorial but you really didn't waste a minute. Vid is chock full of hot tips, good tutorial.
Thanks so much man! I am really glad to hear that kind of feedback :).
lmao same
"Hot tips?" Lmao suburb weirdo
really one of the best tutorials ever
I watched it on 2x

Bro, thanks for leaving this comment man! Glad this helped you out, and thanks for the Subscribe! You know we are all about that good stuff.
I just an Akai MPK Mini MKII. This tutorial was really helpful in helping me get it set up. I can't wait to try it out.
Thank you for the video.
And then there's me... not owning an MPK neither know how to use FL Studio. But you kinda helped me to decide to get an MPK and get started :D
Awesome!!! I hope you love using and creating with it! :D
@@Professoar thanks! Hope that too :)
Hey,how's it going so far? I've just decided to buy one and learn fl😁
Yo I just got the mpk mini and was confused how to work it and you just made it mad simple. I produce beats and promote on my channel so using this tool will really help me a lot. Thanks Again.
Dude hell yeah! Keep on that grind man! That's what it's all about! >:D
You deserve a medal for making this video. God bless you sir
no, thank you so much for checking the video out :)
yo I swear you are the only youtuber that legit helped you def need more views brodie, shoutout to you, you a real one
aww man thanks so much! I really appreciate that!! :D
AYE BRO!!!! Thank you sm man I had this for like a year and just gave up because the instructions on the box wasn’t pulling through I’m so glad I came across a step by step everything you need tutorial to get it COMPLETELY set up video I swear I’m so excited thank uuu new subscriber!
Glad to hear it!!! I hope you will consider subscribing as I am going to be making another new updated video on the MPK with new techniques and such :)
Professoar I appreciate u and fs
i want to thank you, even after all this years, i watched the first video of u explaining on how to set up, but in this video u just did outstanding job, very easy to understand, very easy to follow up and learn new things.
hi where is the mk2 editor file?
yeah where is it lmao?
@@jamesmazzo ikr like someone help
this guy is a liar i cant find it either
yeah wtf lmao
fuck this guy
This is, without a doubt, the best tutorial on the MPK mini that I've viewed here on RUclips, you have saved me and many other viewers loads of time and my sanity, thanks for sharing your set up file. Needless to say I am now a subscriber.
I am so glad to hear it my friend! Thanks so much, glad to help :)
Not even gonna lie:
This was *THE MOST HELPFUL* video I've seen on this controller.
You deserve way more subs than you have right now.
THANK YOU!
Seriously, THANK YOU! =D
No thank you sooo much!! :D
Im from Korea and Im studying English just to watch this video. This video was like a light find in the dark. Huge help. I didn't know what to do at first but now i can make my music just because of your kind instructions. I just wanted to say Thank YOU!!!!
Thank you so much! Much love :D
Dude, I am just getting into FL Studio and my MPK mini. Love the video and it was very easy to follow. Thanks man and keep up the good work. Will be watching more of your vids.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I have a some new great content for the MPK and other things coming as well, I hope you will be here to see them :D
Dude, this has been beyond amazing! I started reading the manual that came with FL like it was 1992, and quickly realized that this was going to be a very long journey via method. I still might burn through it, but between this and other tutorials, it all seems less overwhelming. These programs are so complex, there's near no possible way to intuitively learn them. But the power...
Brother, THE POWER!!!!
Hey where can i find the link for your set up?? It ain't on the description it would be really helpful
i had the akai mpk mini since two months, no one could ever make it that simple on internet as much as u did !!
Thank you
Glad it helped, thanks so much! :D
I will say, this has been the most helpful video so far, decently in depth. nothing too deep, just a lot of material covered.
Yo man thanks, I really appreciate the feedback!
You definitely deserve WAY more recognition for this. Funny a couple of months ago I saw a similar video, however dude was selling the template and kinda keeping the technique secret. I would've paid him but I didn't have a debit card atm. I randomly come across your video looking for reviews on the mpk249 ( I plan on upgrading because I wanted more functionality and keys), and dude you covered everything... And gave away the template for free. That's really dope of you to do. Not knocking dudes hustle, but you can tell who's for the people and the love of making music (easy).
Thank you. U da bes (gmcfosho reference)
Edit* I think I'm your 6000th sub. Congrats
DUUUUUDE thanks so much!! awww yeah 6k crew! btw gmcfosho IS A GENIUS!!!
“Alllright and we’re back”.. that was smooth 😂
You are the man! I spent my time checking other tutorials and official tutorials about AKAI MPK MIni, but nothing like yours! U rock man! thanks for this tutorial!
Yo thank you so much for the feedback bro! It means a lot to me :D
why i cant open your layout? if i try to click "apply" the editor is log out. help.I dont understand the midi controller
literally grabbed my notepad and wrote down everything you said like I was in a class! 😭 BEST CLASS EVER! THANK YOU!!
Awesome!! I am glad it helped out! :D
You nailed it this was what i
wanted
Awesome man! I am glad to hear it! :D

Thank you! I appreciate that :D
bruh...this video was soo much help. Mad respects!
yo thanks so much bro! :D
Thanks man! Such a big help! I checked out other "tutorials" but they were more interested in showing off their HOTT TRACXXSSS" etc... This was very straight to the point and focused on functionality. You are the man. Subscribed, liked, and all that jazz. Much appreciated.
So glad to hear it man! Thanks for the feedback and the sub :D
Dude...your awesome!!! Thank you for this wonderful tut. I just connected my mpk mini and I use to hit piano roll and play my harmless.. Now I get nothing... Think you can explain why I'm having this issue. Also I use to just push keys on my mpk mini to record my kick thru piano roll and now it won't record onto piano roll. I just downloaded FL-20 then connected my mpk mini. Same as your mpk on tut. Thanks for your help bro.
why did he like this and not respond? im having this issue and dont know what to do
Hey man this was probably the most helpful on RUclips, I still need to get to know the device but daaamn you put so much information in this! Will definitely be back to learn all the tricks!
Thank you so much! :D
11:23 *WOW. THAT’S SO EXCITING* (isn’t excited)
very helpful I was struggling to get it set up this video was very informational appreciate you.
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that m8! :D
Where’s the link
Thanks lil professor. I bought my son this mpk and well havent been able to use much, but i cant wait to get home and show him this video. So we can get started. Thanks lil bro.
dude awesome! I am glad to hear you guys will be able to use it now! If you have any questions just come back here bro :D
Have a problem at 10:25 when doing the map layout, the pads on the FPC show that am pressing 2 pads when am pressing one. The second pad is the one that lights up in the same place it would light up in the other bank
I have this problem too
Anyone know how to fix this?
It's supposed to do that. It goes away once you finish mapping.
Whatch this kid is gonna blow up as a tech producer in the next few years. Kee it up bro, u got a gift for teaching and all u seem to know about this subject is pretty stunin for ur age. Ball Hard
You are too kind brother! Thanks so much for the kind words and checking out the video! It's really you guys that keep me loving what i do!
@@Professoar Yea dawg u cleared some stuff I didnt even know about my midi. Your work is very helpful for many artists. Keep it up!
soundcloud.com/v_cg/galaxies-away here's a link to my soundcloud check it out, I started not too long ago and I plan on ballin hard. Looking forward to colaborate in the near future!
I set up the drum beats fine, and saved the presets (that was so helpful by the way) .. but I can’t get the keyboards to do anything with it , could someone please help me out with this ??
i cant figure this out either, if you figure it out could you tell me lol
Almost a year later and you've saved me from such a headache!! Subscribed and liked bro!
Awww hell yeah bro! I'm glad to hear that :D.
i just ordered this pad and was searchign everywhere fo ra video liek this
thanks man! Any help on getting my arpeggiator to funtion? when i turn it on it doesnt blink the tempo. any help?
Hmmmm is your MPK programmed to count time/tempo internally or externally?
@@Professoar Mine is linked externally and I'm having the same problem
Oh, I forgot that you have to be playing the song in order for it to work
I never watch these long ass tutorials. But yours bro, idk what it is but its different, not boring, and so full of information. Thank you! Subbed
Thanks so much bro!!! >:D
pretty helpful tutorial, still can't get both drums and synth to work simultaneously. I've got both selected and their numbers are set to 1 and 2, but when both are selected the drumpads control the first thing that was turned on and the keys do nothing. not sure why this is happening, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks man I appreciate that. hmmm what version of FL are you using? I doubt this information will remedy the situation but I want to check if maybe the midi settings for how the sound generators are set up may be what is causing that
@@Professoar v20, same as you I assume.
I’m having the same problem:/
Same problem here. Any fixes?
Same here, are all of you using the trial version? Cuz I am and maybe it has something to do with that, idk just guessing. Would like to figure it out tho. Nonetheless, great tutorial @Professoar
Thank you dude! I bought this MPK mini back in 2016, and have gave up a couple times trying to figure out how to use it. I've finally found a HELPFUL tutorial!
Now I can use it! haha. Thanks.
Awesome!!! that's what we are talkin about!
15:10 - i have problem when i select both of the sound generators my pads do sound of the harmless and piano do nothing.
this video will help ruclips.net/video/L9tzPGVSqak/видео.html
or the new one i am uploading today :)
Yo, Bro. This actually helped me out a lot.. I just got My AKAI MPK mini today. And you have literally saved be hours of times!
Dude awesome! Glad to hear that, thanks for leaving feedback man, means a lot!
I’m an absolute beginner in digital music and if I ever make it as an artist you’re getting a shoutout.
I'm glad it helped! Thanks Kuma! :)
Really great content! Very helpful video 💯
Thank you so much! :D
How do u change the sounds on the keyboard to a piano sound
Tekashi 69 u change the sound on fl studio
It has been a great help dude, I have just set up my mpk mini after a few days of watching tutorials. I also learned how to record a beat and many nice tools on the mpk mini through your vid. Keep em coming :)
bro I'm so glad to hear that! That is awesome! :D
You talk and act just like Michael from The Office series, lol.
Thank you for this, really helpful!
AHAHAH I love Michael Scott and the Office, that's great man! And thanks for the feedback, glad it was helpful!!
huh? explain. lol
I am learning more from this Professoar than most youtube FL instructors. Good on you.
So glad to hear it bro! :D
Not all heroes wears capes!!!!
Awesome tutorial man! Helped a lot!
Thanks bro! Glad to hear it :D
"The device is probably used by another application. Alternatively, there may not be enough memory available" when i open up FL 12 ??
I have the same problem 😠 I have MPC Essentials installed and was using my Akai mpk with that. Is that the issue??? Did you fix your issue?
@@grambosmiffy boys i need help with this hmu
@@JanuaryGetsCold I had the same issue. In the beginning of the video when you open up the "MPK Mini Editor" you HAVE to make sure to exit off of it. If you have FL Studio and the Editor open at the same time it won't allow you to select options and/or set it up. Make sure to exit off the editor web page and you will be good to go. You can ONLY have FL open.
Thank You Very Much!! I recently bought an MPK MINI PLAY and I was so confused that nobody made a video for that. But I followed nearly the same instructiuons, and it worked! Thank you very very much!
I'm so glad it helped out! :D
The most annoying yet most helpful video I've ever watched
Ahahaha, thank you xD
Great vid though got my mpk yesterday for Christmas and you helped me set it up in no time
@@chazbeats-charlieaylesbury I got mine for Christmas too xD
Chaz Beats Sameeeee
Chaz Beats same lol
let me grow with you...
LET ME GROW WITH YOU!!!!
Thank you so much for this. There really is a genuine care. A teaching kind of vibe just comes ooff this video.. just makes you want to join along regardless.
Awesome!! :D thank you ^^
when I turn arpeggiator on the sound cuts...
same for me
My dude!!! I could sworn you had a Chimpmunk filter on your voice, or sped up the video or something as a joke, until I realized that was your regular voice. You rock!!!!
Ahahaah thanks so much man! I really appreciate that, and yeah I know right haha just got that young voice forever ^o^
Whenever I try to do the midi settings in FL studio at 7:05 and I click send to master synch
I get the error:
Error from midi driver: The specified device is already in use.
Then followed up by:
There is not enough memory to complete this task, quit some applications and try again.
When I open my task manage though... only about 25% of my 16gb of ram is being utilized?
anyone have any ideas?
taiyoctopus me too
same bro
you have to close out of the editor :)
You are the best bro, this is the best tut on mpk that ive found to be the coolest so far. God bless you dude.
Thank you so much :D!!! I hope you will consider subscribing as I am going to be making another new updated video on the MPK with new techniques and such :)
@@Professoar Had subscribed already, i picked my mpk like 2 hours ago, downloaded this video n done everything you've said there n everyone is happy. Waiting for those new techniques, keep it up bro.
i have problem with changeing the the channels so i can use pads and keybord
did you ever find out how to fix this? i had the same issue?
@@christopher5660 nope still
@@4kon i cant get it either
I think I know what your problem is. Try setting up the numbers as seen on 15:27 left of "Harmless" and "Default".
Since "Harmless" here is the keyboard and "Default" are the drum pads, note that the keyboard should always be set on "1" and the drums on "2" if you are using some other plugins or instruments. Hope it helps!
@@callmeishmael6594 Yo thanks man, I was having the same problem but with a little fix by copying it worked.
Couldn't find the EDITOR FILE link to download it?
Get it here under GETTING STARTED:

okay so for some reason I cant play my fpc and synth at the same time?
SAME
you just gotta switch the midi channels
@@eliasj.363 what do you mean
Reformed Father Go on the MPK mini application thingy then look at the bottom & find "Pad Midi Channel"switch to 2 and make sure the arpeggiator isn't on
Reformed Father make sure you save and all that other stuff etc etc
Your videos are the best, this helped massively!
thanks bro! I am glad to hear that!
my piano/synth isnt seperated from the pad, the piano sounds will go on the pad
I had the same problem.
Just go to channel rack,and simply select both your drums and your synth with that green rectangle thing.
Hope this helps. :)
@@VinayakVijayvargiya I did that and does not work
I have the same problem,trying to figure out how to fix it,if anyone knows pls help
I think this is the best video I've seen on setting up the MK2. Answered a lot of questions, great job.
Thank you so much my friend!! :D
Happy new year's 2019
Why thank you! :D you as well!
First vid I come across that actually covers all details that are not in other vids. 👌
Someone help,my pads aren't making any sounds when I hit them
turn on internal sounds
@@type3604 Where is that?
@@astrotrain1984 Should be on your actual MPK controller
@@Txmcavaz ok it's working now thanks
I just want to make my pads to go from middle c up, and middle c down like my keys do. Can you give me any suggestions?
I fell asleep trying to watch this guy repeat himself thought i was going crazt
Hey man great video, I was able to set it up like youve done it but for some reason when i hit the pad more frequently they become more quiet or less pitched ?
ooo that's because you "Full Level" option on or off, that will effect how hard they sound when you hit them :)
I can't for the life of me figure out how to make my pads do the drums and my keys do the notes. I followed your instructions scrupulously; I set the values exactly as you did on the editor then made sure to "send to ram" and then I set my drum and piano to channel 1 and 2, and still I only am able to preform number 1. Can anybody help me out?
Pitch shift does nothing, also.
do you have both sound generators highlighted when you attempt to play? :o
I had the same problem... I fixed it by right clicking on 'Harmless', then by clicking 'Receive notes from' in the drop-down menu (on the right), select MPKII Mini and from the drop-down menu choose Channel 1. Do the same for FPC, but choose Channel 2. Now you should be able to play drums and keypad simultaneously.
@@cm62907 you've solved a problem I've beed dealing with since I got my hands on mpk thank u kind human
@@kbsauren9392 Glad to hear! No problem.
ngl i thought this was going to be a video that I wasn't going to understand. Im glad I spent my time on this video
I am glad you did too! :D
@@Professoar i have a question that when I record and then stop the recording, the recording glitches and the note mixes with each other and the note length is not what i want do you know how to solve that?
Jesus, last video was 11 minutes, now it's 22 minutes... did they add more steps or something?
Just a more comprehensive explanation if you want to learn how to fully utilize your hardware
Professoar I see that now! I found a lot of helpful tips and tricks just from this video, very detailed video ty
yes haha
@@Professoar how do i assign the knobs to an effect?
@@Professoar how do I assign different effects to the knobs?

yo thanks man I appreciate that!
tysm!
Of course! :D
u know if there's a way to permanently link a knob or pad to a certain command?
thank you so much man, I was frustrated because on the videos I use to watch, the pads were so coordinated with the tap that people made, and mine had a ton of delay, but with your video now I really learned how to use the Akai properly! thank you so much!!
Awesome bro, I am glad it was helpful! Thank you :D
Hi i dont want to use fpc. Any tips to map my pads to the channel rack?
