    Quick Tips and Common Questions here:
    The way to get the MPK Mini MK3 editor has changed since this video, follow these steps below to download it.
    1. Login to Akaipro.com
    2. Register your keyboard
    3. Go to My Account, and scroll down to your registered keyboard.
    4. Hit the 'View Downloads' button and download InMusic Software Center and open it up.
    5. Go to 'My Hardware' in the left panel.
    6. It's hard to see but there is a drop down arrow right on the image right on the left of your keyboard name.
    7. Click that drop down and download the MPK Mini MK3 Editor, follow along the rest of the video.
    If your Joystick (Pitch and Modulation) are not working, it's an issue with your FL settings and not the template. Here is how you fix that - ruclips.net/video/68tB-nOhfpE/видео.html
    If your audio is low when you hit a key on the midi controller go to Options (top left menu) --> Midi Settings --> You'll see two boxes, below the second box on the left side it says "Link note on velocity to" (the top one) and select None.

    I'll be honest. At first I was really sceptical about paying for your template, not that you wouldn't deserve it, but because I already paid a 100 bucks for the controller. But it was a pain in the ass to setup myself so I decided to give your template a try and it couldn't work any better. 100% worth the tenner.

      ​@EmptyShellCasing You don't need to get his template. I have the mk3 and with more research there is a base template already installed onto the device for fl studio. PROG SELECT - PAD 3. If pad 3 doesn't work try others. If you feel the need the buy then do it for the convenience. I paid for the template to later find this out. Can also confirm the paid template is legit if you choose to go that route. Sorry for the paragraph.

Legitimately the best mapping I've seen with any controller, it's so nice being able to play/ stop/ record with it, never been able to do that with any of my controllers previously! Both the controller and template are well worth the money if anybody is considering buying it. Liked and subscribed (with notifications)!

    Really appreciate this. I've been using FL on and off for almost 20 years now. I was naturally drawn to and loved the Akai Fire but I could never adjust to the keyboard on there. I picked up the MK3 on Christmas. I love how your template allows it to control FL like the Fire. Less back and forth between the keyboard and FL and more actual creating and workflow. $10 template well worth it.

    Little workflow tip: If you wanna control a 3rd party VST knob you don't have to search it in the browser, you can simply open the left top arrow in the plugin window and click "Browse parameters". That will take you directly to the specific section in the browser!

      there is an even easier option: just click on the knob symbol in the top (left to the main snap settings), after that move any amount of knobs in your VST you want to link. It will remember the order and then you can link multiple knobs on your hardware just by moving them in the same order. ;)

    I just wanted to say thanks because this little pack is really amazing. I just got started making music and when I was looking for a good midi keyboard so many people were saying it took them actual days to configure, and due to my keyboard arriving on my birthday I was a little upset that I was going to spend my day trying to figure this out. But this pack saved the day like really only took a few minutes and that really made my day. Easily worth $10. Like fr life saving and definitely earned my sub
    Also noteworthy: There was only one small problem I ran across when setting up that's not addressed in this video. When I hit the keys it was not loud enough and I really had to push hard to make sound. The way to fix this is by going to midi settings and changing the "link note on velocity to" setting to "none". Just thought I would include that incase anyone else has that issue.

    • @thisisalbe

      @@thisisalbe If you want actual velocity instead of just always the same velocity... check this comment out www.reddit.com/r/FL_Studio/comments/ins9kn/how_to_raise_akai_mpk_mini_mk3_piano_keys/gex8ltf?context=3
      If you hold "FULL LEVEL" button for 5 seconds it will turn on a mode that lets you change the velocity settings for the keyboard, use the settings in that commend (V1 = 36.0, V2= 18.0, V3 = 17.0, V4=16.0) (Control these with Knobs 1 - 4 respectively) and Black bal: 1.0x (knob 5), this should help get it much more consistent and you don't need to press so hard. You can play the keys while in this mode, so you can tune it live to something you're comfy with. Then just hold "FULL LEVEL" for another five seconds to save and return the knob functions back to normal. (Default settings are v1:24.0, v2:6.0, v3:4.0, v4:2.4, Black Bal:0.7x if you ever want to revert back to these values)
      Or, leave "Link Note on Velocity" to "Velocity" and play with the automation (chain icon right next to it) to determine the loudness of the note depending on how hard you press the key (drag left slope point up and play around with the keys while you do that to see how it feels).
      The first strategy feels better IMO, but the second one is easier.

    Another way to map one of the knobs to something in a 3rd party VST is to move the knob in the VST, and then go up in the top left to "TOOLS", then "Last tweaked", and then click on "Link to controller". (you can also set up automation clips in that menu). This is the method I use, it seems simpler than the one you show.

    @Al Be I was about to return my Mk3 before I saw this video. I saw what you were able to do with it, bought your template and it is the best purchase I made in my dream to become a music producer. Seriously, I was about to give up and return the MK3 as it was absolutely crap before I got your template. For anyone reading this comment and contemplating whether to buy the template, don't think. If you are using FL STUDIO 20 and bought this MK3 to use with it, without this template, the MIDI Controller is absolute crap. It says a lot about AKAI though, that they just sell a $100 midi controller with absolutely no easy way to set it up with the DAW of your choice. I really can't thank you enough man. God bless brother.

Thank you Al Be, you got a new sub man.

    Also, thank you. Like, really, thank you. The Akai MPK mini is great, but I was just ready to get a refund because I can't use 50% of its feature with FL due to the poor default profile for FLS20.

    Doesn't work properly for me. Every setting I checked few times and still my first channel is played by the 5th pad and the 2nd is played by the 7th pad. The other channels don't work. Other settings works fine but pads no. Omni previews settings, mk3 settings, fl settings are correctly switched and nothing. Any solutions?

    • @thisisalbe
      @thisisalbe  2 года назад

      You likely set the midi port and not the Omni preview channel. It's the most common mistake. Look very closely at the fl midi settings chapter again. Then check the included PDF for other common misses. But nothing is different than what's shown in the video. It 1000% works.

    - and yes, everything is set up correctly. I checked like 5 times. Omni preview is set to 10, M-audio oxygen 49/61. Everything's correct.
    Also, when enabling CC mode the pads still don't do anything. Nothing happens when I press them.
    Can you help please? I'm really stuck here.
    Tried running as admin, reconnecting device, restarting PC, opening empty template.

    Yo Al Be! I be blessed! This template is straight fire! My workflow has increased and I just downloaded it 2 days ago.
    For those that said they couldn’t figure it out RFM! (Read the freaking manual)

      😂 right. I worked hard on figuring it out, hard on the video, hard on the PDF and some ppl still won't watch the video and read the PDF. It works 1000% as shown.
      Appreciate the support Jay!

    I'm a beginner to all this teaching myself and it has been very helpful. Thank you for the template too. I was wondering how to get it hooked up and didn't know I needed a template

    • @thisisalbe
      @thisisalbe  2 года назад +1

      You don't NEED a template per se...but it is the best way I have found to get the full functionality and workflow from this keyboard. It will work without it for just playing melodies and such but not very good for finger drumming or navigating FL studio without the template.
