Screw it, here is my latest revision, used thekikgens 2.9.0 firmware, inserted the 2.9.1 software as well as force. image is ssh enabled as it is based on thekikgen's work. why reinvent the wheel the kikgen did a nice job so i just build ontop of that. (all devices are spoofed to mpc X when in MPC mode). The settings menu's work in both force and mpc now, and i've not enforced any rotational code so it should default to your machines orientation. I hope this one solves your issues.

additional fun: ssh into the machine and run start-remote-midi.sh to initialise network midi. use the akai network midi software and whatever supported daw in the way you actually want to use it. With the device in stand alone.
Also lmfao i didnt read about the midi note thing before replying, that's some good info i wonder what the midi note value is? i guess i could hijack the midi device and send triggers until i find it... i will look into that, good call buddy. I don't mind if this becomes a community thing. I wouldnt mind some help from interested users with some computer knowledge. There's no reason we cant use this thread to share ideas and build something nifty. My time will be limited soon so there wont be any more updates or things from me for a while... this was never intended to be a *me* project its a *we* project and i encourage those of you with interest to dive in.
what i'd like to see happen is thekikgen takes the image i made there and and leave his ld preload lib in it and virtual interfacing / midi hijacking stuff all nicely automated. That'd really polish it off.
