Akai MPK Mini Script

[mothergarage]

I extended your preset a bit, if you don't mind Matt

It works as it did before but with some alterations. I kept MIDI cannel 15 for all presets.

get it here!

This might help some people having problems getting the script to work on Windows.

You have to put the MPK Mini Folder in your Users\<Your Username>\App Data\Roaming\Ableton\<Live Version>\Preferences\User Remote Scripts.

If you place it within the Ableton Folder in your Program files folder, it will still show up in the Control Surfaces drop down but will not work whatsoever. If it is placed into the Preferences folder everything works perfectly but in the Control Surfaces drop down it will now appear at the bottom of the list.

I think this is exactly the problem /rand is having above...

Thanks, LakesideWiseman, you're a lifesaver !

Your tip to put the MPK Mini Folder into Users\<Your Username>\App Data\Roaming\Ableton\<Live Version>\Preferences\User Remote Scripts, and the UserConfiguration file in that folder, did the trick.

The control knobs work to change the instrument parameters now, although the knob assignments on instruments with more than 8 parameters seem a little "random" but work
nonetheless.

LakesideWiseman you're the man!
Your folder thing fixed my issue!

thank you so much!
And again, thanks mattadms for the script

Anyone know how to set this up in lion? Lion merged all user folders into one global user folder root/Library/... but there's not folder like anyone described here.

It's still there - but its just hidden now!
When in Finder and in your home-directory, try SHIFT+CMD+G and append Library.... e.g.: /Users/user1234/Library

You can also "unhide" it by opening the Terminal and enter chflags nohidden Library so it'll be visible in the Finder again just like pre-Lion.

I did an update on the script, accompanied by some explanation how to use it.

Here it is

Great work on that one (and thanks for the credit)

I think I'll use that one myself now. Will update the first page with a link to your blog.

Hi guys, I'm having some trouble and maybe you can give me some help. I am attempting to place the script in the correct file location, but I cannot find the appropriate place. The closest I can get to the

"Users\<Your Username>\App Data\Roaming\Ableton\<Live Version>\Preferences\User Remote Scripts"

location (I am running Windows 7) is C:Users\Owner\Roaming

The file has a couple more folders in it, but all are empty. My problem is I don't have an App Data folder in my Owner User folder. The only other place I have found a User Remote Scripts folder is in the program file for Ableton, which has been stated is the wrong place to put the file. I have searched and searched and can't find anything that looks remotely right.

Any help would be great, thanks guys!

The "AppData" folder is probably hidden. Unhide all hidden folders via the "folder options" dialogue in the control panel of Windows 7.

Thank you! I never would have figured that out myself. I'll start playing around with it and post again if any more questions arise.

Amazing script! Thankyou for sharing this. I actually prefer using my new Mpk mini to my SL Compact (the encoders never worked properly with automap from the word go). Nice one!
