My fucking god. I've scoured the entire internet for months and cannot seem to find an answer. What is wrong with Akai that all their tutorials and instructions go over a tenth of how to actually use their products? And all the youtuber "tutorials" show people using the buttons but not how to fucking program them.
Kill me.
I love my MPK mini. It's fucking great. But I KNOW I'm only using it to about a quarter of its potential.
I'm using Ableton 9 Suite and I'd love to learn how to:
-
Use the Program Change button to change programs (midi map clicking "arm" then the program doesn't seem to work)
-
Use the CC button. Like WTF. When would I use this? How would I use this?
-
Note repeat. I feel like I understand the concept, but it literally does nothing when I press it, even when Ableton is playing.
-
Program Select - I know this is set up in the MPK Mini Editor program, but this goddam program is the least intuitive GUI I've ever seen to save a setting. Do you press Command+S to save? Do you press "Send" to save? Do you recall by loading a saved file? Do you recall by pressing "Get"? Seriously, wtf. WTF.
End my pain. Quell my suffering. Tell me how to use this fucking thing. I can't be the only idiot in the world who can't figure this out.
