I need aksys to work because editing samples in the 4k is impossible because the jog wheel value is so low and trying to get the start end points is a pain.
Anyways the problem is that when i connect the usb it cant find the driver even though i downloaded it and pulled it to my desktop plz help. Also how do you guys edit your samples on the 4k? I really want to just use my turntable for the record in and take the sample edit it and throw it on the pads but the editing is confusing. Like i record my sample tap in the bpm and then try to find the 1 of the beat and trim the sample. And then when im in zone mode i set it to 16 zones and then it throws it on the pads with a new program when i go to edit. The thing i dont get is when u slice the sample it says end margin what does that mean? Also the b.p.m on the region screen doesnt make sense. When i click it, it tells me the bpm is like 19 or something dumb and it says 2 measures how do i fix this?

Thanks MTM

You need to properly learn the machine before reaching for AKsys. There's basic user error going on here with no shortcuts other than reading the manual and playing with the 4K.

I now know the answer to all of my questions besides how to setup askys because the driver isnt found.
I now have read the manual and played around enough to figure out certain things.
The 4k is king I love it.
Thank you for telling me to read the manual it really helped. But I really need help setting up aksys. I have downloaded the drivers.

Thanks all who told me to read manual !
