MPC Studio MK2 - Pad color in MIDI mode

Hello,

It looks like in MIDI mode, MPC Studio MK2 don't light up the pads or allow us to light up a specific button in a specific color.

Its there a way (MIDI Sysex ) how we could work around this problem ?

I was trying to monitor the MIDI signals while using MPC Software and setting the pad color but no MIDI messages got sent.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks !!!

I just purchased this as well and have the same problem!! Hope there is any luck for us. The only LED Color change is when you press the pad and the color code is based off of how hard you hit the pad. Light touch = yellow Hard Touch = Red. I want to have blue and green led lights already lit up while in Midi Control Mode and when working in other daws.

I have contacted AKAI support some days ago to request any MIDI Sysex documentation for MPC Studio MK2 but so for I did not get any answer

Maybe someone have already tried to reverse engineering or have some ideas how it would work with other MPC products.

I have reverse engineered the MPC Studio Mk2 and posted all my findings on a Github Repo. Here is the link

Thanks for making this. I can use it as a template for groove agent and other drum software

No Problem. I just finished the first working version of my Ableton Live Remote Midi script using these mapping. Check it out if you're interested.

V1 of the script is available. Check out the vid:

im not sure if this still works, but im also trying to look into something like this, i looked around your github but are there any pocs for getting pad leds to light up? does it even still work with the mk2? I tried running the python poc, as well as the js one, but any midi inputs from the mpc threw errors in the code, saying that a byte was out of the 127 range, the js one didnt seem to do anything - to the lcd or otherwise. its much to ask for but a usable api/sdk for controlling the LEDs would be amazing.

edit: i was dumb and had mpc software running, the POCs you have on the github (at least the py one) seem to work for controlling the LCD, but i was hoping there'd be something to turn on the LEDs as well via code
