Akai MPK88 problems

Post by rwarta » Wed Sep 21, 2011 8:14 pm

I just bought an Akai MPK88 and of course it comes with Ableton Live Lite, but when I go to sync my midi to the keyboard the MPK88 is not listed. Any help? I thought maybe I would have to upgrade to the Ableton Live 8 versioin?

Under Options/Preferences/MIDI Sync/Control Surfaces so you at least get MPK49? The only difference between an MPK49 and an 88 (other than the keys of course) is 4 more rubber pads.
You also need Track and Remote set to ON for that device.
