Hello everyone,

I have an Akai MPK mini3. I also downloaded the MPC Beats App and started to create my first sounds. Unfortunately, I ran into an issue with the preset. I have the problem that the pads in the MPC software do not match with the sound when I hit the actual pads of the Akai. I could not find any solution so I am asking for you help. Even the customer support doesnt reply...

I found this help page:
https://www.akaipro.com/kb/akai-pro-mpk ... uide/#PADS

I tried this, but Preset 1 was already selected. The Akai Pads still do not line up with the MPC Pads. The Akai Pads play notes of the keyboard instead.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best regards
Peter

I clicked through the topics you posted and I have taken a look at the videos I found there. I couldnt find anything that solved the problem.

Do you have more detailed information about the pad mapping or the midi map?

Thanks.

1. Make sure your pad mapping is set to "chromatic". Menu > Edit > Program

2. Use midi learn to map your controller's physical pads to the pads in the software.
