Akai MPD32 and pitch bend

iomega · Post by **iomega** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 3:20 am

Sup everyone,
I just got the MPD32 and I was wondering how do I go about making a knob or slider act as a picth bend like using a MPC or the axiom 49 pitch wheel when I have the REX files in the drum rack program...

Thnx in advance

I have the MPD24 and it can't do pitchbend at all. I asked Akai tech support and they said unfortunately no. The MPD32 interface looks pretty similar, so I'm gonna guess no on it too. Hopefully I'm wrong. Maybe they'll add it in the next firmware update.

how about assigning / midi learning one of your controls to the pitch of whatever instrument you're working with...??

I've tired that.. maybe I'm doing it worong but from I know
is if I do it in the drum rack it only does it to the one sample on the pad
if I goto the next pad it cant do it..

there isnt like a global pitch bend that changes all the pads at once, not that I know of anyways.
