I would like a feature such as Night time producer mode.

Meaning I would have the option to have all the pad lights turned OFF and be able to set my preferred dim amount for the screen.

I am aware of the night mode, which only dims the screen very slightly, it's not enough at all! It still very bright at night. I haven't found a way to shut off the pad lights. Nothing turns them off even when I click off for pad lights.

I mostly only have time to produce at night. After working with the bright colorful MPC , my brain gets very reactivated and I cant sleep!

I feel like Akai will never address your sleep issues.

Is there a way to turn off the pad lights on Keygroup programs?

I am only able to change pad light setting for drum programs.

Good point. I'm new here, I was under the impression suggestions can be made here.
I want to at least find out how to turn off the pad lights for keygroup programs .

Hahah - relavant!

I saw The Cramps about 16-17 years ago, not too long before Lux passed away. They were magnificent. And Poison Ivy was magical.

I mean, you can suggest all you want - but this forum isn't an official Akai forum (they don't read it). It's a user forum where we shoot the shit and share tips. Send feature requests direct to Akai from within the desktop MPC Software (hit the little happy face icon in the lower right and select "Feature Suggestion").
