Hey guys,

I did a lot of searching and came up dry here so I'm comin here for help. I have an Akai MPK mini (I know its not an MPC, but my issue is with the pads on it and I assume Akai makes their stuff similar enough you'd more then likely know). Anyways, this is my first MIDI controller and like a dope I opened the Akai MPK editor app thing and I think I zero'd out all the CC, PC, and note #'s on my pads. I had before this used the pads in Reason 5, now it doesn't respond to the pads at all. It also eff'ed up my knobs, but I was able to figure out how to fix those. FL Studio 9 recognizes the pads when they are tapped (although I do not know if it is playing the same notes as it would have before I so stupidly screwed it up.

So basically whatever the preloaded CC, PC and note #'s this thing came with worked great and none of the 4 presets the editor comes with seem to work as it did out of the box. Can anyone help me or point me in the correct direction?

Also since I'm here, I do not fully understand what CC and PC do (along with the CC and Program Change buttons on my controller). Anyone got any useful links that might give me a more solid understanding of their function?

Thanks a million!

Just match everything up to this image: https://www.storedj.com.au/attachments/Product/2003/akaimpkminieditor.png?ts=1293080523

I just found that by doing a Google image search for: mpk mini editor
Lucked out and the first image was the default settings.

Thanks guys
