Hi,

New to MPC. Recently got an Akai MPD218 (which I know isnt a proper MPC).

I've been using MPC Essentials and is there no MIDI Learn function to program the 6 controller knobs/"potentiometers" to connect to filters/effects in MPC Essentials?

This seems possible in Ableton but I'm surprised that there isn't such a function in MPC Essentials. Why would Akai include 6 knobs for this purpose and not have it functional in their own proprietary software? The MPD218 Editor program wasn't helpful either in this regard.
