Hello all!
I'm very new to MPC's and music production in general. I've had my MPK Mini for a while and have been getting experience with MPC Essentials. I recently download the new MPC Beats Software and there seems to be a problem with the pad mappings. I'm using the Simple interface, and when I begin an empty project all the pads line up correctly, each lighting up for its corresponding pad that I press in both Bank A and B on the Mini. However, when I try to start any of the project templates, the pads do not line up correctly. They just seem to be randomly linked, and some of the pads don't even trigger any sound in the MPC Beats software.
I've already tried using the mapping file that Akai provided with the MPC Essentials software to see if something was wrong and that didn't work. Anyone have any other thoughts or suggestions for me to try?
Thanks!
Rk.
