Support and chat about Akai's range of MIDI controllers, including the MPD. MPK and LPD

I'm using my MPD18 to write drum beats in Logic Pro.

With my LPD8, I can use the Akai set up software to change the pads from momentary to toggle, but I can't see any way to do this with the MPD18 - all I have is the note repeat button which doesn't do the same thing.

I also can't see any options in Logic to do this, including using the Environment.

I'm sure I'm wrong, but is the MPD18 incapable of having the pads toggle on so I can play a loop continuously?

All I want to do is hit a pad once so it loops the sample in either Ultrabeat or ESX24. Only way I can do this now is to hold the pad down which doesn't work for what I need.

Thanks!
