I'm having the same issue. I can get it to work in PT 10, but using the same steps in PT 11 it doesn't work for me. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit. What about you?

I'm thinking the need to release a 64-bit version of the Akai Internal MIDI Port app. The other one is 32-bit. I could be wrong but that's the only thing I can see stopping it from working since PT 10 is 32-bit and PT 11 is 64-bit.

ah interesting! hope Akai is down with this

cant u use like jBridge or something to make the driver 64bits?

I know jbridge can do it for plugins and since this is an actual application I would think it needs some other type of updates to make it work under a 64 bit app.

If you have jbridge try it out and see if it works.

Not sure why it's not working for you. But the play buttons will always be greyed out in the software, even when it does work. It's working on my end for PT 10 and 11 on Mac.

Have you guys activated MMC? As far as I know PT11 defaults to Mackie HUI or HyperControl. Can't access 11 for quite a while, but check Sync options under Setup, maybe.

Are there any Windows 64 bit beta users with PT 11 that can test it out?

Yep. Followed the instructions exactly how it say. Works in 10 just not work in 11.

Got this email from akai support.

Thank you for contacting us. I’m sorry to hear you’re having troubles with your product. I’ll be happy to help!

I attempted to setup the MPC with Pro Tools 11 and I was able to recreate your symptoms to a T.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I have passed this information along directly to our developers for further testing.

I do apologize about any inconvenience that this causes.
