Dear All,
I bought a second hand MPC Key 61 two weeks ago. I contacted Akai support and they helped me with removing the registration from the previous owners account. Afterwards I registered the synth to my account. Connected it to my Wifi, logged the previous owner out of the synth and logged on with my own account. All the stock plugins are activated correctly. Nice! So far so good.
Installation of the MPC software on my Windows PC was a breeze. No issues. Changed the MPC Key 61 to Controller Mode and connected it using a USB cable. The MPC software sees the keyboard and changed the ASIO driver to the synth. But in controller mode the plugins are not activated (preferences -> activated plugins, only a few are activated). As the documentation clearly states, I should be able to use the same plugins in controller mode as in standalone mode (like the Fabric, OPx.4, Stage Piano, etc.). Or is this a incorrect assumption? Just to be sure I did a factory reset, logged out and in again. No dice.
The hardware I am using for this particular mobile set-up is a HP Probook G5, Windows 11 Pro in combination with this synth.
I contacted Akai Pro support. They seem to be having the hardest time to solve this issue.
Did anyone else come across this issue? Am I missing something? Any tips/ trics?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Giljam
