Hi All,
Since the summer, I've been trying to use external MIDI controllers such as the MidiFighter Twister or the Korg nanoKONTROL with my MPC X standalone, but it's been impossible. I can use external MIDI to play notes, but not for any other CC control, like modulation. The bug described here in this forum viewtopic.php?f=48&t=213969&p=1851869&hilit=midi+korg#p1851961 makes so that MIDI learn just doesn't work. I've submitted the bug to AKAI of course.
I was wondering if - in the meantime - I could use any of AKAI's own controllers that - I presume - AKAI tests the MPC firmware against (though, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't).
MPC's own website seems not to make any promises https://www.akaipro.com/products/controllers : it labels a few devices as compatible with their own MPC software and / or with Ableton Live... but MPC standalone seems to be completely ignored. Is that normal?
What's your experience? What external MIDI controller have you been successful using for modulation? Thanks!
