MPC Key 61 local off question

- Does setting the internal keyboard routing to 'local off' also do the same for pitchbend, mod wheel, and sustain pedal? i.e. are they also sent to the MIDI out or do they still affect the currently selected track?

- Same question for setting the internal keyboard routing to 'tracks'. Basically I want to know if the pitch, mod, and sustain follow the keyboard setting, or if they are always sent to the current track, like the pads. The manual is mum on the subject.

Reason I'm asking is my live rig right now is an MPC One, a laptop w/mainstage, and a keyboard controller and I'm thinking I can replace the one and the controller with an MPC key 61. Then I can use the keys (and pitch/mod/sustain) to control mainstage, while the pads trigger internal MPC samples. As long the 'local off' and/or 'tracks' setting works like I would think it should, then it'll work.

You the best Lamp, thanks man.

So got my 61, got it all set up, and of course there’s a damn fly in the ointment.

If you set the keyboard to local off and press keys, the pads change banks. Because, leave it to Akai to give us a local off function that doesn’t fully disable local control. Smh. Where can I submit a bug report?

It‘s easiest in MPC software. There‘s a smilie in the lower right corner.

Lampdog it’s all good I didn’t think to ask because I figured local off meant local off smh.

Thanks 83dude, will do today. It’s prob not a bug it’s probably just something they didn’t think thru all the way but imma submit it anyway.
