Akai MPD218 - Knobs

Post by mrriot » Thu Dec 08, 2022 1:30 pm

Hi Guys

i am total newbie to midi and ableton and got a MPD218 second Hand for a good Price, as this is a very common midi controller i hope someone with more knowledge could answer me this 2 questions:
  • The Knobs have no function at the moment, or i cant recognize it, do they have to be mapped by me? and what are you recommondations to map them? Also can the be mapped to toggle the zoom and track location in the waveforms or arrangement view?
  • The Pads are working as they should and i can play drums and instruments with it, some on youtube say that the midi channel has to be set to 1 instead of 10 to play instruments, is this still the case? i see now difference
Cheers
Riot
