I want to know how you guys figured out AUTOLOAD?

Was it in an addendum to the manual?

Now that I am using these controller I don't want to have to manually assign all 51 controls again. I just want to have three different templates for usage with controller.

Cheers,
Ian

I don't recall where I read it but I didn't get the info (or virtually any info for that matter) from the manual.

Setting up your Autoload with a single template is easy, but I'm not too sure of the best way to set it up for three. Someone else will have to chime in on that one.

Global

Initial

Do it

Default Items ON
Autoload ON

Rename one of your folder projects to

autoload



Reboot and that folder should automatically load up.

Yes, there were manual addenda PDFs issued for every OS update. Some just had a few lines of bugfixes, some had half a dozen pages on how to work new features.
I would strongly recommend you read them, or you miss out tons of stuff.

I kept asking Akai if they would let me have the Adobe FrameMaker files of the original manual, so I could update them to include the info from the OS Addenda, but they told me "they'd lost them" :roll:
So instead I just annotated the Reference Manual PDF with little adobe "post it note" comment bubbles, it is still in the Files section of the MPC4000 Yahoogroup.
