It's the best (and heaviest) I've used to date compared to the cheap, flimsy, plastic crap on other controllers.

I now have to figure out how to do this globally as 90% of the time I'm going to want to use the pads on a separate port than the keys. So MIDI port 1 is called Common MIDI Channel 1 by AKAI. If I recall correctly 3 is for AKAI internal stuff, in fact the Vyzex editor only allows you to assign to "Common MIDI Channel A or B" 1-16 respectively. The MPK can assign the drum pads to a separate port, if you look in DP to assign the MPK as a controller it shows AKAI MPK88 Port 1, 2 and 3. the keys are as loud as real piano keys though, I give you that! Mess around with the key sensitivity if you're having a hard time with subtle stuff.

I like the drum pads, only the PadKontrol feels better to me, plus the instant access to 4 banks of pads is brilliant for Battery and Kontakt drum libraries. Generic MIDI controllers IMO are far better in DP than Arturia's proprietary controller, NI's Komplete Kontrol, or even AKAI's VIP. I'll have to respectfully disagree with you about the MPK88 in general, I think it's fantastic. The weighting is better than other controllers I've used, but I still find it difficult to capture subtle stuff accurately. The MPK isn't the greatest, but was a step up from the previous one I had-I'm not a fan of the loud keys but the knobs and sliders come in handy. I felt like taking a hammer to something. That happened day one when I got it a few years ago. Now stare at that nice built in transport on the 88 and wonder why MOTU have never bothered to allow controllers like the MPK to access the Control Surface section of DP and work like every other DAW out there.
One suggestion if you end up doing this is to assign the pads on the MPK88 to a different port, this way any keyswitching isn't being overridden by the transport. The reason IMO this can be a poor workaround is Kontakt, keyswitches can and are assigned to those lower than low octaves. Yes there are octaves outside of the 88 piano keys on the 88. Not sure who designed the pads on the MPK88 but they are pretty awful.

If memory serves the software doesn't give you access to the transport controls though, so I'd need to use the pads which I rarely use anyway. If possible I'd need to check if Vyzex also let me do it so I could apply those MIDI numbers to the transport buttons. I can still shift octaves on this by 3 in each direction I think.
Yeah, I can see where that can be an issue, especially with an 88 key controller like the one I have-unless there's MIDI note numbers outside the 88 keys I could use. Once you've set up the note assignment enable the "Master Master" command at the top of the Commands window to engage MIDI remotes. Play the note on your controller and you should see that note show up in the MIDI field.īe aware that if a note is assigned for a remote control you won't be able to record that note into a track.Īlso, if you happen to play that note (from the same controller) as part of a performance, the note won't trigger a sound but it will trigger the command. Find the transport control you want and click on the MIDI field for that command. Under the Setup menu open the Commands window.
