There were also suggestions that you could simply use aksys with a touchscreen monitor, but I don't know if that worked out.

Geoff put up a few videos on YouTube back when he first hooked up the touchscreen via Logic.

touch screen with ak.sys works

I bought a salvage touchscreen (ELO brand?) less than 100 on ebay


I think the little 9" usb touchscreens you can buy cheaply, may work also, but I have no way to test this out

is that sample editor part of akia sys, if so how do you get to it

What editor?

Typing is FREE, so no need to scrimp on the wordcount my friend lol.

I'm just starting to get into aksys. Had no idea you can access keygroups and the mixer for Mulits.

I do have a question about the mixer section. I see there is a mixer view for multis, but I don't see the same for programs. Is there a way to see the pad mixer window where you can change the volume of the different parts of program via aksys.

In other words, is there a way to change the volume of a kick or snare in a program from a view somewhere in aksys?

Dude, read the Ak.Sys User Guide.

It was written by Steve Howell (HollowSun), it's very lucid, it explains stuff a helluva lot better than the bland machine-translated-from-Japanese prose of the other MPC4000 docs. You'll learn a lot.

(And yes, there is a pad mixer in Ak.Sys. But I'm not going to tell you were it is. RTFM )

I don't mind reading,. Can you point me to such a manual? The only one I could fnd was the one done by akai. It would be much appreciated.

Is ths the same one that was written by Steve Howell? This is the same one I found on Akai's support website.

I also can't find any mention of the Pad Editor in this one.

that's cos the pad editor was an update and had it's own extra PDF

Can you tell me where that PDF can be found? Also, where would the pad mixer be? I couldn't find that either in the release of the manual you pointed me to.

Appreciate the help!

This is the pad editor...hollow sun article...

I was initially excited about aksys, only because I did not know what to expect. Now I never use it. The 4000 is so easy to navigate and work with so I find it unnecessary...except for organizing your samples.

Sorry I did not send this sooner.
Cheers,
Ian

Didn't realize that, thanks.

And thanks Ian for the correct link.

Thanks Ian. I found the Pad Editor, but I was actually looking for the Pad Mixer that feline1 referred to in the previous post. Apparently there is a pad mixer similar to the mix view for Multis. I was looking for a way to adjust volume on different pads just like with the pad mixer window on the MPC.

Is that in the Pad Editor somewhere?

The PDF Addendum for the Pad Editor is on the downloads on
http://www.hollowsun.com/gagnon/download/om_dload.html

I hadn't realise Hollow Sun had archived all that stuff! Good for him
