Hello folks,

I'm new at this forum and I'm also a newbie with the MPD24, I just received it yesterday.

I already set it up with the midi editor and reseted all the presets and settings with the factory ones downloaded from the akai website.

The problem:

I already got Ableton Live to recognize it (it took me a while but it's working already) but for some weird reason, when I'm mapping the controls into the software, it looks like all the controls have the same value, so all the controls get mapped to all the the things in the software and viceversa.

For example, all the faders display the value "1/0" when I map them, and all the pads display the value "1/C3".
This is a screenshot:

I'm mapping everything in the Midi Channel 1A. Tried with others but it's the same problem.

This another screenshot of my mpd24 in the preferences panel:

Am I doing something wrong?

Could anyone help with this please?
Thanks very much in advance.

:)

I think I remember there is something different ableton and how it recieves pressure messages, you might want to take a look whether you can solve the problem by setting mpd24 to poly or chan pressure

Thanks Harmoncj!

I already fixed the problem by myself... I just tried with every preset and it already worked fine with the preset #3!
Can't believe it was that simple, haha.

Thanks!
