Hello y'all,

My MPC Live is stuck at "Looking for computer" .. I read the Manual and the MPC bible, it mentions the driver. I believe i have it downloaded as I went through all files available on Akaipro.com

Yet I must admit that I am not sure which one of their file is the actual driver, and looking back at the webiste, it is still not crystal clear. Also, the "Midi / Sync" Preferences of Track / Master / Control / Sync is quite a mystery to me, and could be the reason too..

Could someone help me get in controller mode ?

Much appreciated, Raf.

Happened to me on my One.
Run the MPC software installer again. You'll see a tick next to the software but immediately below that you'll see drivers that haven't installed, click on the drivers and install.

Thank you so much. I just went through the process. I will restart my computer to make sure I put all chances on my side. I was wondering what were the appropriate settings in pref for midi Track / Master / Control / Sync ? :worthy:

Yo brother, I just restart the computer and it does WORK.
Give thanks and praise, you came to help. I had a couple of question on FB groups before coming here. You just sort me out of 3 days of struggles !

Bless. :-D
